Perceptive as a Hallmark Card

BESTER: So, you think of me as something bright and cheerful, full of toys and candy for young children? Thank you. That makes me feel much better about our relationship.

LENNIER: A darkness carried in the heart cannot be cured by moving thebody from one place to another.

* Bester's comment, "For what it's worth Mr. Garibaldi, I enjoyed working with you. We made a good team. Perhaps we'll do it again some time." This foreshadows Garibaldi's unwitting stint at Bester's telepathic patsy during season four.

G'Kar asks the vision of his father why the universe waited until now to offer him the choice to become something "greater and nobler and more difficult than you have been before."

The reason is obvious. Although it is never explicitly stated, the dust obviously opens G'Kar's mind to Kosh's influence, and Kosh is never so active on the show as he is during this season.

Why was G'Kar given the choice in this episode? Because this is the first time he has been receptive to the idea that such a choice is even possible.

He is just beginning to see the battle with the Centauri -- and his place in the struggle -- for what it truly is, and it is this vision that allows him to recognize the difference between honoring his father's memory and avenging his death.

If the only legacy of murder is more death, then his father died in vain. Now that G'Kar can make the leap past his personal grief and sacrifice to the inexorable cycle of violence, he stands a chance of breaking the pattern.

This, then, is why G'Kar takes responsibility for his crime against Londo. It is also why G'Kar emerges as such a different character at the end of his prison sentence.
