On Lennier's birthday I watched:

Is it? Wow. Will Robinson just turned 71. Is the environmental control
robot still around?

"Passing Through Gethsemane" - This one I was going to skip, but as a
compromise to myself I watched the Lyta scenes and fast forwarded the
main plot where Brad Dourif reprises his role as a mindwiped priest.

Lennier gives a major clue in Valen's backstory; this is important.

Did you check the credits? Spock Junior directed!

"Dust to Dust Season" 3, episode 6. G'Kar gains telepathic abilities and
learns the truth about Londo.  And the truth (more or less, OK mostly
less) about Kosh.

I always disliked this episode and the fifth season "The Very Long Night
of Londo Mollari"; both are similar.

I've always interpretted it that Kosh flat-out brainwashed G'Kar.

G'Kar got retconned!

It occurs to me now that I'm discussing this with you is that G'Kar is
getting punished here and made to pay a penance although in a more
subtle way than what Brother Edward, which is entirely an artificial
personality. G'Kar just got a new, er, understanding of his own
religion. I haven't seen this in a while. As I recall, he doesn't figure
out that it's Kosh, or does he?
