Matters of Honor

Delenn: These ships, once they target you, they never stop, never slow down, never give up, until they have destroyed you. They are nearly invincible.

Sheridan: I don't believe that. Every ship has a weakness.

Delenn: Believe what you will, until experience changes your mind. Take a good look, John, and remember it well. That is the face of our enemy.

This episode contains examples of:

Call Back: Londo recognizes the Shadow ship in the video as the ones in his dream. It later occurs to him that he's never seen the ships Morden's associates use.
Continuity Nod:
- Marcus uses the fact that Minbari do not react well to alcohol to help prove who he is
- The jumpgate they use for the Bonehead Maneuver is the one in the Markab system, which Sheridan feels can be destroyed to prevent grave robbing.
Cool Starship: The White Star makes her first appearance.
Crazy Enough to Work: Sheridan uses the "Bonehead Maneuver", opening a jump point inside an active jumpgate, which releases a huge amount of energy, to destroy a Shadow ship.
Early Installment Weirdness: Marcus claims in this episode that he seldom speaks unless he has something worth saying. Which is odd given that after this episode, he barely shuts up for two years.
Government Conspiracy: By the end of the episode it's clear that elements in Earthdome are working with the Shadows.
