Quotes:
[first lines]
Delenn:The last poem you read tonight--
Shaal Mayan:"In the Light of Two Moons."
Delenn:Did I not hear it when we were--?
Shaal Mayan:Both too young to know anything about anything. We could only feel and wonder what it all meant. But you recall correctly. I did start it then, poor and groping for meaning. It has matured and changed over the years. I finally knew that it was ready last month. Tonight was its first performance.

For much of the first season of Babylon 5, the series still hadn't established any sort of over-arching plot to connect the episodes like it would have in seasons 2 through 5. In some ways, it was as if the genius behind the series, Michael Staczynski was still trying to feel for a sense of direction. Because of this, so many of the season one episodes are self-contained in that they don't connect well with previous or later episodes. This is pretty much the way of sci-fi shows like Star Trek, but for B-5, this makes these earlier episodes less satisfying.
Of all the early episodes, this one most epitomizes the word "filler". While this didn't mean it was a bad episode, not a whole lot is established in this show other than the fact that Vir is a nice guy and there is some growing xenophobia on Earth. Decent but very skip-able as well.
