Great Episode

Another great one with some tense and exciting moments. Some important revelations to be found as well. Only time will tell how they come into fruition.

47 kinds of hell breaks loose

First off, Nurse Chapel makes a special appearance as "Lady Morella"; Emperor Turhan's (Turhan Bey) 3rd wife. Turhan shows up as the Ranger trainer "Turval" in season 5's "Learning Curve".

Vaughn Armstrong makes a very rare appearance as a human security guard, the one who appears to be a shill for night watch. I did not even know that was him, I recognize him easier when he is wearing Klingon, Cardassian, Romulan or other Alien makeup.

We had heard Mollari talking about a vision regarding himself he had seen that involved a huge hand reaching for him. We got to see this vision in the episode "Dust to dust", when G'Kar snorted telepathic Dust and assaulted Molarri- "All of it, Mollari, all of it"!

This was the reason he had asked Lady Morella to visit him at Babylon 5 to interpret that vision and others. He gets his answers, but it's not exactly what he wanted.

Both she and Mollari get much more than they expected when the entire station erupts with mass rioting instigated by the night watch.

Trivia
Majel Barrett had actually met Babylon 5 producer J. Michael Straczynski at a science fiction convention several months earlier. At the event, a fan suggested she put in a cameo appearance on the show. Straczynski liked the idea, and contacted Barrett to arrange it. Fans interpreted Barret's appearance as a goodwill gesture to attempt to make peace between the rival science fiction television franchises.

Goofs
Vir (Stephen Furst) claims that "Zocalo" means "Great Marketplace"; series creator J. Michael Straczynski made the same claim in a post on the web. In fact, "zocalo" is the Spanish word for "plinth"; it's become associated with "central square" because the main plaza in Mexico City is called the Zocalo. The name was attached to that plaza when the plinth to a monument for the 100th anniversary of Mexican independence was installed covering most of the plaza. The monument was never constructed, and the plinth eventually removed, but the name remained. Many towns and cities across Mexico now refer to their central plazas as "Zocalos".
