How many Centauri does it take to screw in a light bulb?

"Only one. But, in the Grand old days of the Republic, hundreds of servants would change thousands of light bulbs at our slightest whim!"

I really, really, really wanted to watch this episode tonight. But you know what happened?

I left the S3 box-set at work. So much for that one. Talk-away.

I commented a few episodes ago about JMS and elevators. I won't say it again!

Loved hearing G'Kar's "fishies" song again, though changed.

The bomber bit was kind of just filler and an excuse to put Londo and G'Kar where they were, but it itself was blah. And in all these years, people forgot how to set their cell phones to vibrate? (Though given where it was, vibrate might also have been noticeable through Sheridan's reaction, I suppose...)

I agree that the bomber character and subplot was weak.
It felt more like a Season 1 plot.

However, the pluses were:

Londo and G'Kar in the tube.
Lennier saving Delenn and Londo.
Londo staying with Lennier.
Brother Theo
Netter's Syndrome :)


I should point out that the Season 3 CGI is looking better on the HDTV.
Less fuzzy.

The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight!

At least that is how I alway saw this ep.

Once again Joe put two characters in a room alone. He really likes that sort of stuff doesn't he?

For an atheist Joe sure treats religion with respect.

Overall a so-so episode, but you gotta love when Londo and G'kar share a scene.

"I hate my life."

"So do I."

"Shut up!"

:D

One more thing. The guy that plays the Bomber always reminds me of John Malcovich.

I got to watch this one, now that I have access to my S3 box again. I still love the entire sequence with G'Kar & Londo in the elevator. And in the end, nobody had to go back in time to save two humpback whales to stop the probe!
