Babylon 5/Recap/S03/E20 And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place

"Well, I went to the rock to hide my face, and the rock cried out, "No hiding place!" There's no hiding place down here!"

- Gospel Singer

This episode contains examples of:
"Delenn: Never mind. Your face just broke the language barrier."
 * Batman Gambit: In order to work, Londo's scheme required Refa (and several other individuals, including Vir) to do exactly what he expected them to do.
 * The Big Damn Kiss: Sheridan and Delenn kiss for the first time (in proper time at least) on the bridge of the White Star, right after she has shown him the new fleet ready for deployment.
 * Enemy Mine: Londo and G'Kar work together to bring down Lord Refa.
 * Facial Dialogue: Delenn doesn't know what the word "cranky" means... until Sheridan gives her an exasperated look.


 * Funny Background Event: Sheridan rocking out during the titular spiritual.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: The question of what happened to Na'Toth is raised, but not answered. In season five, we'll see that many of the details given here regarding her fate were actually correct...only she's on a different planet entirely.
 * Like an Old Married Couple: Delenn seems like nothing less than Sheridan's long-suffering wife in this episode. She seems to manage him simply by wrapping him around her little finger and keeping him there.
 * No Holds Barred Beatdown: Refa's meets his end and the hands of a mob of angry Narns.
 * Not Worth Killing: No, not Refa but
 * Passive Aggressive Kombat: Brother Theo is rather good at this.
 * Relationship Upgrade: Although theirs has gradually been taking place over the past season and a half, it is Sealed With a Kiss in this episode.
 * Rule of Symbolism: As the song reaches the word "Jesus," the camera cuts straight to G'Kar. This is not the last time G'Kar will be likened to a messiah.
 * Shout Out: Refa getting beaten to death while a jaunty tune plays is a Shout Out to a similar scene in Cabaret.
 * Soundtrack Dissonance: The scene of Refa's demise at the hands of the Narn are set to a Gospel song being sung back on the station.
 * What the Hell Hero: Vir is not happy with what Londo did, and he makes sure Londo knows it.
