Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe tentacle used to memory wipe people, was reused in the first season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", since both shows have the same make up company.
- GoofsDelenn tells Aldous there are two castes in Minbari society-the Warrior Caste and the Religious Caste. No mention, at this time, is made of the Worker Caste, which would figure prominently in later story lines. The two castes were intended to represent Sinclair and Delenn; a third caste was added when Michael O'Hare departed the series and the character of Sheridan was inserted into the mythology.
- Quotes
[a grey alien stands before an ombudsman]
Mr. Flinn: We went through their archives, and we found proof that his great-grandfather abducted my great-grandfather, and just took him away in a spaceship. Frankly, Your Honor, we want damages!
Ombuds Wellington: [to alien] How do you plead?
[the alien holds up a card with strange symbols]
Ombuds Wellington: Could I please have a translation team in here?
[to himself]
Ombuds Wellington: Why is it Ombuds Zimmermann never gets these cases? Only me?
While this episode isn't horrid like the previous one (all about the ultra-macho "Mu-tai" competition), it is definitely one of the worst episodes of the series. David Warner (a wonderful actor) has the thankless job of playing a really dopey character--a robed idiot who is seeking the Holy Grail!!! I really think some Monty Python-like way of handling this would have been better, as it just seemed silly for some guy to devote his life to seeking this religious relic in the year 2258. And what was worse, he spent his time traveling through space looking for it!!!! If it actually existed, don't you think EARTH would be a good place to look?! The main idea of the show is really bad, but is salvaged, somewhat, by some insights into the other races--such as the differences in how his request for information was handled by the Centauri versus the Minbari. This is a very skipable episode unless you are a devoted fan.
