Coming of Shadows already? Damn, I'd better get to catching up.
NON SPOILER:
JMS tells the story of Jane Carr saying, "You DO know what my character's name is backwards, correct?" (or words to that effect - paraphrased from memory...)
This is one of the episodes I don't really remember well, other than Mariel is stone psycho (and her implied affair with G'Kar is an indicator of such, given Centauri/Narn relations, and the duties of Londo and G'Kar), Timov is unpleasant, but honorable, and the third wife is in the episode.
I...don't remember the Stoner subplot, so, in the larger narrative it must function as exposition and foreshadowing, not something really followed up on.
Guess I'll have more when I catch up. Since my PC is out for repair, still, I'll have to commandeer Laura's laptop.
Of course I remember the line, "I'm having these...cramps. This was an episode Mira Furlan had issues with. She felt Delenn undignified in the episode, but it's really a subplot that NEEDED to happen... Other Sci-fi shows have done the "change species" plot, and gloss over biological changes. Only other show I can think of that did anything similar is "Red Dwarf" when Kryten becomes human and gets a "triple-Polaroid" from an appliance catalog.
SPOILER STUFF.
Because I REALLY wanna be caught up for next week's first real BAM episode of the season.
Delenn's periods, of course, hint she now has a human reproductive system. Something important for Season 5...
We will see Londo truly joyous at least one more time. Season 3. For 1/2 an episode... Until Morden murders Adira.
When I catch up on s2, I will be playing "Spot the Ranger" in the buildup to "Coming of Shadows." I believe there's at least one per episode in the background starting with "A Distant Star." It might be earlier?
Speaking of tragic foreshadowing, I'm pretty sure I caught a reference to the Markab at one point early on in this episode. If I remember right, that's not going to end well...

Yeah, I’ve picked up on at least a couple of Markab references this season so far. Awkward.
