Entry tags:
This is G'Kar's Discussion Post - 0x5 "The Parliament Of Dreams."
It's Saturday afternoon, BLUEFALL.
This week's offering:
Vital Stats
Production number: 108
Written by J. Michael Straczynski
Directed by Jim Johnston
Original air date: February 23, 1994
Arc Notes / Story Points of Interest
- G'Kar is a totes rad baller.
- Londo is a drunken buffoon.
- It doesn't take an ace detective to figure who might have got married in that Minbari ceremony.
Trivia
- So rad, you guys.
- So drunk, you guys.
- This episode won an Emmy for Best Makeup Design.
- A Catholic priest is one of the first five to be introduced in the big earth religion lineup, but during the pan shot a nun is clearly visible.
If they are seriously setting up a love triangle between the Minbari Ambassador / Grey Councilor and Sinclair's suddenly wealthy old flame, I will cry.
A reminder: not everyone playing along has seen the series before, so please be considerate about major spoilers. Vagueness, warnings and/or spoiler tags are appreciated.

mildly spoilery for upcoming 1st season eps, I guess.
Anyway, re: G'Qoun -- Nope! JMS sticks most of the Narn religious stuff (pre-spoilery G'Kar stuff, anyway) in By Any Means Necessary. Which is ever-so logical -- put the Narn religious stuff not in the actual RELIGION-FOCUSED episode, but rather the union one. What-ever.
(He also insists that the Narn don't have a monolithic religion, except they kind of do, it's just a bunch of different prophets. if it were /actually/ not monolithic, there'd be, well, differences in culture, you know?)
