Regarding the spoiler minute stuff, what I'm most excited to discover is a couple episodes into Season 4, so I'll give spoiler space in case anyone else is watching for the first time. . . . . . . . I can't wait to find out whether or not Vera has the same reaction that I did to Sheridan being "mostly dead" and needing to figure out (to paraphrase) what he has that's worth living for.

I love how neither of you can resist doing the Londo accent. Neither can I. *g*

This episode was when I realized that the series itself went far far deeper than I'd thought up to this point. I just wish the other's who played Centauri alongside Peter were able to get down the dialect and inflection that he put into his character. I mean, sure, there's the argument that those others were speaking with different dialects based on where they lived on their homeworld, or colony, but, still... I can't think of the species without also hearing that very very characteristic "Mr Garibaldi..." and comparing all the rest to that. This is also when G'Kar's actor Andreas Katsulas REALLLY started showing just how fraggin awesome his acting capabilities are, and marks the episode where I really started to consider both G'Kar and Londo as the main characters despite the focus the show sort of tried to present. I'd never want a remake of Bab 5 because each person played their role too good for substitutes (sort of like how people tried to follow Wesley Snipes' performance as Blade and were unable to; not because they suck at being Blade, but, just how well Wesley Snipes represented Blade and how hard an act that is to follow), but, (spoiler maybe?? IDK, it's a general suggestion of a spoiler but has to do with the network and its decision and not the show) I reaaallly would like a police box and/or quantum flux capacitor enabled DeLorean to alter the past so that we got the final seasons as JMS intended vs... what happened as a result of the network canceling the 5th season but, then, green lighting it at the last moment.

Having grown up Episcopalian (aka the US branch of the Anglican Church that isn't actively kinda terrible), with some exposure to Evangelical Christians, the relationship between Theo and the baptist minister made sense to me. I read Theo over-playing the angst as a hint of dry sarcasm. Like, the character was over-acting it because he self-consciously knew it was all a bit of a joke. That was just my read though.
