Babylon 5/Recap/S01/E21 The Quality of Mercy: Difference between revisions

 

* [[Accidental Innuendo]]: In-universe: when Ivanova comes to check out Dr. Franklin's unauthorized clinic, he mistakes her for his next patient. "You can start by taking off your clothes." To which she responds, "Not without dinner and flowers."

* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]:

** Centauri are shown to have a series of tentacles growing out of their flanks. These are the males' reproductive organs.

{{quote|-'''Lennier''': Even a small quantity can cause violent, homicidal rages.|'''Londo''': (''grabs Lennier's glass'') Ah, alcohol! My mistake.}}

* [[Deadly Doctor]]: Laura uses the device to kill Mueller. She is then distressed over having taken a life, no matter how defensible.

* [[The Grays]]: The Vree are basically confirmed as being the Grays. The episode features a comical scene wherein a human sues a Vree for damages on the grounds that the Vree's ancestor abducted his own. The Vree is clearly the classic "gray", and given that Vree ships are saucer shaped...

* [[Let Us Never Speak of This Again]]: Lennier takes a vow of silence over what Londo tells him about Centauri physiology...and thus what exactly Londo was using to cheat at cards with.

* [[Lost Technology]]: The origin of the healing device is never made clear, but the markings look similar to Vorlon writing.

* [[Verb This]]: After giving Londo some instructions, a Centauri minister says, "I'll be in touch." After the line is closed, Londo replies, "Touch this." He then gestures to his sides, which are where the Centauri "attributes" are located, making it also a case of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]].
