- Quotes
Ambassador Londo Mollari: Do you really want to know what I want? Do you really want to know the truth? I want my people to reclaim their rightful place in the galaxy. I want to see the Centauri stretch forth their hand again and command the stars. I want a rebirth of glory, a renaissance of power! I want to stop running through my life like a man late for an appointment, afraid to look back or look forward. I want us to be what we used to be! I want... I want it all back the way it was. Does that answer your question?
[Londo leaves]
Mr. Morden: Yes. Yes, it does.

This is a top quality episode that sets up plot lines that will ultimately dominate the series. These are introduced in a fine way so that it isn't immediately obvious what will be important and what won't. We can assume Lady Ladira's prophecy's will be among the more important as we see one of them come true... we are told that on Kiro's first birthday he would be killed by 'the shadows'; a cryptic statement to say the least. Morden is a great new character, I certainly hope we see more of him as he is so intriguing. His 'What do you want?' question seems simple but is actually quite profound. Ed Wasser does a fine job in the role. The storyline involving the raiders was interesting and provided the episodes impressive action scenes. Overall I'd say this is a great episode; certainly not one to skip!
