  1. I just love your excitement "I'm here for it!"
    Interludes and Examinations. Such an innocuous title, isn't it? Then … BAM! … Adira.
    Then BOOM! Kosh!
    JMS knows how to pull the rug from under us….
    "Scifi at its best". Indeed!
    Great to see your reactions.
    Be seeing you!

  2. Morden got smuggled past the gate. He had an arrangement with a security officer to get him in for a handful of diamonds. He then killed the guard and used the diamonds to pay another guy to poison Adira.

  3. If your brother hasn't watched both series, I could chalk his "opinion" up to mere ignorance. If he has and has his "opinion" . . . I dunno. Did he eat lead paint as a kid or the doctor drop him on his head during delivery or something like that? Without spoilers, B5 tells a whole story. DS9, aside from ripping off a large number of components of B5, is mostly episodic, rather than long-form storytelling; and yet tries to pretend to be long-form storytelling. Did you feel sad for a ship when you watched DS9? Didn't think so.

  4. The scene where Sheridan stands up to Kosh is great partly because it's surprising. Up to this point in fantasy and sci-fi, everyone just listens to the "wise guiding force," but this would have been like Frodo getting into a brawl with Gandalf…and you realize Sheridan is absolutely right.

  5. In case you didn’t know, the actor who plays Kosh-as-Sheridan’s-father in this episode (as well as his actual father in “Severed Dreams”) is the late great Rance Howard, father of Ron Howard. grandfather of Bryce Dallas Howard.

  6. It’s very fundamentally wrong. B5 came first and DS9 tried to copy it and totally failed. B5 actually has a story arc throughout the entire series where DS9 doesn’t have a story arc that covers the series, DS9 is just a bunch of sitcoms that happen to take place on a space station.
