Babylon 5/Recap/S03/E06 Dust to Dust

Dust to Dust
"We are fighting to save one another, we must realize we are not alone. We rise and fall together. And some of us must be sacrificed if all are to be saved. Because, if we fail in this, then none of us will be saved."

- Image of G'Quon (really Kosh)

This episode contains examples of:
"Kosh: They are alone. They are a dying people. We should let them pass. Sinclair: Who? The Narns or the Centauri? Kosh: Yes. --- Kosh as G'Quon: We are a dying people, G'Kar; as are the Centauri."
 * Call Back: To the first episode.


 * Did I Just Say That Out Loud?: While interrogating Ashi, Bester suddenly blurts out, "He's lying!" After Ashi protests that he has rights, Bester says, "Oh, I'm sorry, did I say that aloud?" Garibaldi is then able to leverage information out of Ashi about where the Dust is.
 * Drugs Are Bad
 * He Who Fights Monsters: Sheridan warns Ivanova about this when she tries to destroy Bester's transport.
 * Also touched upon by Kosh in his message to G'Kar: "...obsessed with each others' death until death is all we can see, and death is all that we deserve".
 * Laser-Guided Karma: While G'Kar is Mind Raping Londo, Kosh intervenes and pushes himself into G'Kar to get him to stop.
 * Make It Look Like an Accident: Ivanova's intention was to use the defense grid to destroy Bester, then say it was a computer glitch. Her expression as she tells herself this makes it clear she knows there's no way she can get away with it.
 * Mind Rape: G'Kar pulls the fact that Londo initiated the attacks against Narn outposts straight from his mind.
 * Not So Different: After getting information out of Ashi, Garibaldi and Bester have a brief discussion about how Bester was able to intimidate him into spilling the beans, which Bester considers one of the advantages of the badge and uniform. He then looks at Garibaldi and says, "Just like your badge...and your uniform."
 * Script Reading Doors: After Ivanova dismisses everyone in C&C the door behind her stays open long enough to let Sheridan in just in time to stop her.
