So did Morden or Refa actually kill Adira? I was totally thinking Morden had done it as basically a threat, but then the show seemed to come down on the side of Refa doing it out of revenge for his own poisoning. I guess they could've been both of them working together, maybe.
It seems pretty clear to me that Morden killed Adira. That's why he asked the shopkeeper about the arrangements Vir made at the beginning of the episode. He blamed it on Refa to give Londo a target for his anger and to ensure that Londo would come back into the Shadow fold. I doubt that Refa knew anything about it, but since I haven't got to his next episode yet, I could be wrong about that part.
We're going to get a new Kosh? Is he going to be friendlier than the old one?
Bwahahahahahaha...
this message-that-apparently-never-comes-to-pass was sent eight days in the future. They...aren't part of Earth Alliance anymore.
That threw me, too, but I figured maybe the station designation stayed the same even though it wasn't technically part of the alliance anymore?
Minbari cruisers haven't advanced at all--at least on the outside--in a thousand years? Really?
They looked pretty different to me at the end of the episode.
Is Delenn right about this bit in the Centauri prison with Londo as emperor-with-parasite being the future that doesn't change? Because that totally gives the game away if she's right.
So? You know they win, but you don't know how. It's a great way to build tension and interest in your story. As my first adviser put it, "We know how the movie ends, but we go to see Titanic anyway." The suspense now is in finding out how they did it, especially since there's still plenty of room for doubt about any progress in the "present" timeline.
And Sinclair remembered Garibaldi with them being all Rambo, which obviously didn't happen this time, so DID they in fact recreate all the events that would lead to that very moment in the Centauri prison, or is there still an element of variability involved?
Sinclair was remembering a flash-forward from Babylon Squared. He didn't know then what that flash-forward was, when it took place, etc. Presumably, the fact that he's no longer the commander of the station means that what he saw me or may not happen in the future.
Londo has a monkey on his back. Hee. (Have we seen these things before? Are they Shadows?)
It's a Keeper. I remember them as being distinct from the Drakh, since there are Drakh that walk on two legs like a human. I'm fuzzy on that, though, so I could be wrong.
Zathras!math makes my head hurt. Are Sheridan, Delenn, and Sinclair now the frakking holy trinity or something?
Now you've seen the whole series, this may make more sense to you, so forgive me if I'mtelling you what you already know: I thought this one was pretty clear, too. Past, present, future. They each have their moments in which they are critically important, and none of those moments are at the same time.
How is she the present and he the future?
She's the one who organizes everything in the present and keeps it on track. Sinclair's been gone, and Sheridan comes later. But without her in the middle, none of that happens.
On a slight tangent, in the commentary for "Interludes and Examinations," which is hilarious, they talk about Londo's accent, and Peter Jurasik chose a generic Eastern European accent.
