History Recap / BabylonFiveS02E02Revelations

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Londo is livid that G'Kar and Delenn are not in the Babylon 5 Council. Lennier says that Delenn is indisposed, and Longo points out that she's way more than just "indisposed" as she's in a cocoon. Lennier just gives stares at him, innocently, and gives a flat (and inquisitive ala "so what") "Yes".

! Revelations

* PartingWordsRegret: Part of the reason Sheridan still feels guilty about his wife's death is that he forgot to tell her loved her the last time they spoke. To an extent it turns out this was also true for Anna, since she didn't get to tell him that she had already planned to go on the ''Icarus'' expedition and was intending to cancel their plans, but he got there first...so she would tell him about it the next time she spoke with him.

Later, Sheridan tells Lizzie, about it. She asks if it's just physical or a genetic change, but he doesn't know. She's about to leave the station, but she has something she wants him to see and hands him a data crystal. He puts it on, and a recording of Anna plays in which she says she had already made arrangements to go on that expedition, and was relieved she wouldn't have to disappoint John by cancelling their plans. Sheridan finally lets go, as he tells the recording, "I love you, Anna."

Londo runs into G'Kar in the corridor and asks if he found anything. G'Kar says he has and intends to tell the council. He then speaks problems between their worlds and says they can only be resolved with Centauri blood, but for now there is a greater threat, one which is a danger to everyone.

The machine works and Garibaldi suddenly wakes up, and Franklin calls Sheridan and Ivanova down. Garibaldi asks if they were able to save the president, and is disappointed to learn they didn't, and even more so to find out that Sinclair is gone. Sheridan introduces himself, but Garibaldi doesn't know him yet. When asked if knows who shot him, he thinks back but can't remember anything.

Sheridan and Lizzie are at dinner reminiscing. The conversation turns to Sheridan's late wife, Anna, who he still misses. She wants him to move on, but he thinks he needs more time. Afterdinner, Sheridan shows up in Medlab where Franklin is about to strap himself into the device. He tells the doctor to plug him in instead, saying there should be two of them, one in the machine, the other operating, otherwise it might accidentally kill them.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The voiceover for this season is spoken by Bruce Boxleitner in-character as John Sheridan. However, when it was originally recorded, Boxleitner had nothing but the text to work from. When the footage was put together for the opening credits, Boxleitner asked to re-record the speech to better match the action on the screen, and to do it with more feeling. The improvement between the two takes is incredible.

* RammingAlwaysWorks: One of the fighters with G'Kar in the beginning rams a Shadow fighter, destroying it.

Londo has met up with Mr. Morden again, looking for assurance the attack on Quadrant 37 cannot be traced to him. Morden assures him he's safe. Londo then asks what if he need another demonstration. Morden replies he has only to pick a target, any target. Londo laughs and mockingly suggests the Narn homeworld. Morden replies quite seriously, "One thing at a time, Ambassador." Londo looks a little disturbed. Before leaving, Morden asks a favor; if Londo should hear anything, no matter how insignificant, to let him know.

** Garibaldi mentions that there was a scandal in the last election of Psi Corps endorsing then Vice-President Clark (which was more subtly foreshadowed the [[Recap/BabylonFiveS01E08AndTheSkyFullOfStars previous year]] via newspaper). This relationship will take on considerable significance later on.
