Been enjoying the Babylon 5 ruminations recently, now all caught up to Season 1 episode 22 rumination
First off, I've seen all B5 multiple times, as so it very good to see someone take on the task to dissecting it on camera.
I think however a good opportunity to delve more into the methos in the B5 universe was missed in the S1e13 Signs and Portents rumination. It seemed obvious to me that more was being alluded to in the episode about Morden, and 'his' apparent ability to get the ambassadors to divulge more than they initially wanted. Clues such as the crescendo music just around the time of asking 'what do you want', and Delenn's reaction and 'vision'...possibly some grey council training, or being slightly telepathic herself.
I guess nothing was mentioned at the time to avoid spoilers, because later the shadows certainly demonstrate very distinct and very powerful 'psychic' abilities.
Still it would be good to see a little more linking the breadcrumbs laid down in the story, at least as far as the present episode being ruminated allows.
