It was stated that the religious caste were not supposed to have warships. Delenn's commissioning of the white star fleet (the most advanced ships ever) broke that convention and pissed off the warrior caste. Since warrior caste did not join the rangers (in significant numbers) most of the white stars were crewed by

Londo's sense of self importance was always exaggerated. Whether he was there or not, the Vorlons would have blown up Centauri prime. They had been influenced by the Shadows - that was enough for them to justify annihilation

There are a number of other possibilities.
1) Britten is in a coma after the crash and both worlds are dreams
2) One world, probably wife world, is real and the other is a dream/hallucination. There will not be an explanation for how Michael switches between worlds, since this is not a sci-fi show.

Much like the first season, this episode was unfocused and could not create sustained drama. I really don't care who the pope is sleeping with and Juan is such a poorly developed character that I don't care about his competition with Cesare. I was hoping this show would improve in season 2, but it looks like more of

This was a great episode, the best since the pilot. I really liked how the beginning showed the costs of trying to live 2 lives simultaneously.  This episode really utilized the premise well and I hope that the penguin is the start of more hallucinations and other symptoms of mental instability.
I knew that the Dr.

Wow that was an awesome episode. I knew that Seppia would never be able to kill Gaius, but I was totally surprised by Ilythia coming up behind her and cutting her throat like that.

I always thought Damar was a self serving SOB and while he had regrets and wanted to undo the alliance with the dominion, redeeming his people was not a major motivation.
This sort of parallels China's post-Mao rulers. They wanted to undo the excesses of the cultural revolution and great leap forward, but they were

He was trying to relieve his overwhelming guilt. Whether he dies by trial or by an outburst of anger from a Bajoran, he thought he would be at peace.

Interesting, I thought the movie was really powerfully sad because it showed a girl retreating into her imagination from the all too real horrors of war

I think she was using the name 'Amber' because she was in porn - the 'terrible movies' mention

Was this supposed to be a 1 hour show that they cut to 1/2 hour? The first episode was an hour long, than the rest about 1/2 hour.
If the show got cut, it could explain all the missing character development, lack of case of the week development,  and some of the dropped storylines. I thikn this interpretation is far,

How did Andrea have the stamina to run away from zombies the rest of the night plus the whole day after that? Not even mentioning that she was carrying a bag of guns the whole time and was occasionally expending the energy to bash in zombie skulls with rocks. If someone can outrun a whole herd of zombies for a whole

What happened to Crixus? He used to be a total badass, but recently he has been getting his but kicked in every fight. The only reason he seems to be still alive is his superhuman ability to survive and heal from injuries.

Interesting perspective.
I really liked how his need to save his son prevented him from attending a memorial commemorating his son's death. I would like to see more negative consequences from splitting time between the two worlds as the show progresses.

It is not totally fair to compare this to Rome. Rome was a more serious show that tried to be a bit more historically accurate and relied less on sex/violence.  I liked both, with season 1 of Rome probably being the best overall season of either show so far.
What I don't understand is why everyone loves Deadwood so

I thought this episode was pretty good, but not as good as the pilot. The dialogue seemed a bit less sharp and the case of the week was weak (maybe it just seemed that way since I have seen fertility doctor be the father so many times on cop shows).
What I would like to see is the protagonist start getting confused

At first I thought that scene must have been a flashback to before last episode, because why would you torture a guy you already held for over a week and previously decided to release?
Also, why is everyone in favor of killing Randall?
The group could use more people (since there are not to many living people left) and

There was a lot of good stuff this episode, but it was hardly an A.
I did not care for the fighting of random no name dudes.
Also the special effects for the arena collapse looked fake/cheap.

I agree about the intensity, without Andy it is not the same.
