Trivia
Londo's story about marrying the Centauri dancer is consistent with Babylon 5 canon. What he leaves out is the fact that his family forced him to divorce the dancer almost immediately.

Draal:
Excuse me, perhaps you might help me. I'm looking for Ambassador Delenn. Could you tell me where I might find her?
Security Guard:
Of course. This way.

This is the first part of a two-part episode featuring the Minbari "Draal"--an older man who is both Delenn's mentor and is tired of seeing his race change for the worse. He sees that the Minbari and their love of both the spiritual and sanctity of life in general is vanishing and he seems on the brink of suicide as he seeks some higher meaning and purpose. At the same time, the seemingly dead planet over which the station is orbiting is starting to show a lot in instability--with earthquakes that seem ready to cause the planet to blow apart (and taking the station with it). When they investigate, the planet attacks the ships as they near it! Obviously, this "dead" planet is very much alive, though also perhaps a bit sick as well! How all this is resolved is wonderful and sets the stage for future appearances of Draal. However, oddly, in future episodes, he's played by John Schuck! I actually didn't mind this because Shuck's version of Draal is MUCH more fun to watch, as he finally shows a sense of humor and is a much more life-like character.
