Season 5, Episodes 102: Meditations on the Abyss

Yay, a Lennier episode!

Love the scene where Delenn adeptly handles a guy who’s hassling her.

GUY (in agony): You broke my finger!

DELENN: True. But you have nine others.

And then Lennier shows up to finish things off. Woohoo, Lennier!

Hm, can’t help but wondering if Delenn truly only sees Lennier in a non-romantic context. How could she not swoon for him??

Love the scene where Londo pretends to tell Vir something about the Drasi ambassador’s wife after finding a Drasi eavesdropping device.

And Londo tells Vir that he’s leaving B5!! And that Vir is going to be the new Centauri ambassador!

I like Captain Montoya.

Amused to hear that the coffee stain on a page in G’Kar’s book was made by Garibaldi, who said it was the best part of the book.

G’Kar gets a matching eye:

In exchange, Franklin asks if he can sit in on one of G’Kar’s talks.

Woohoo, Vir! Highly amused by how Londo watched Vir wreak havoc on the rude merchant’s stall; the expresson on Londo’s face could have been that of a proud father.

Lennier takes a failing mark in the “Easter Egg Hunt” to hide the fact that Findell was trying to kill himself and that Lennier stopped him.

Captain Montoya reams Lennier out in front of Findell and gives Findell another assignment that suits him better. And then after Findell leaves, Motoya tells Lennier he knew what was going on, and congratulates him. Turns out the captain was listening in on what Lennier thought was a private channel.

Montoya’s cool. I hope he sticks around for the entire season.

Meanwhile, Garibaldi is sinking deeper into his alcohol-soaked hole.
