Well, this was pretty cool. Some nice touches... But no waiter would EVER behave like the waiter in this episode ( well, possibly Rachel from 'Friends' )

Omer You are a waiter right?

Omer was correct the waiter was annoying. The guy ordered coffee so bring it to him already.

This episode reminded me a little of "the Coming of Shadows." Mostly Garibaldi's comment near the end about "this time tomorrow, we may be at war" and the shot of Vir and Londo together when the guy from Centauri Prime tells them that they may need to fight.

CONTINUITY ERROR!
Rare in this series. In the fully canonical(according to JMS) book "To Dream in the City of Sorrows," we learn that Catherine Sakai was lost in a time rift sometime late in 2259. However, Garibaldi says that she "disappeared a little over a year ago," which would put it after Sinclair's departure and possibly near the end of the Shadow War. Ridiculous! Compare G'Kar's comment to Na'toth, who was presumed dead in the bombing of Narn about the same time Sakai was lost in the rift: "That was. . . over two years ago."

Okay, I am nitpicking myself now! The nit in the above entry is a *CHANGED PREMISE* not a *CONTINUITY ERROR*, at least in official Nitcentral lingo.

I think the scene in the corridor outside the Council Chamber is heartbreaking where Delenn breaks down and crys and then Londo sees her and wonders what is wrong. When she hugs him and he says 'What, what was that for?' and her reply that she has never done that in the years she has been there and thinks that there won't be an opportunity after today. You just can't help but feel sorry for Londo. I don't know where people get the idea that Mira Furlan can't act, I think she can act very well.

Who said Mira Fulan can't act? Give me their address so I can do something drastic about this!


By Douglas Nicol on Sunday, July 16, 2000 - 3:37 pm:

Quite a few people. I'm going to start compiling names and then go to that Russian Weapons arms dealin site. Maybe a few bombs will do. :)

How can someone who claims to be a huge fan of Mira not even be able to spell her surname? It's Furlan, not Fulan.

Has Douglas got a spare bomb for the so-called fan? ;)


By Pyro-maniacal Furlan fan on Wednesday, July 19, 2000 - 2:52 pm:

Sorry, typo. Pyro-typo. ;-)

Only better actress than Mira Furlan on B5 is Claudia Christian--and Furlan has an awesome accent, too!


By Douglas Nicol on Thursday, July 20, 2000 - 3:56 pm:

Someone I know hates her accent. I think it so sexy. :)
Having actually met her she looks good. :)

Lise, Garabaldi's GF is kind of a b**** in this ep. She busts him for having "fallen off the wagon" and started drinking again, makes him promise to stop & than orders a glass of wine when they go out to dinner together. That's pretty much rubbing it in his face. We just watched the ep together and my GF said "if my BF was a recovering alcoholic who I had just pushed into getting back on the wagon I wouldn't be ordering wine at dinner with him."


By Brian FitzGerald (Brifitz1980) on Thursday, August 19, 2010 - 11:03 pm:

Omer is also correct. No waiter would ever act like that; the dude was a straight up douche bag. I've been a waiter/bartender since 2001 (off & on) and you just don't act like that guy. Someone like him would get reported to management after his second table.
