Line 40:
=== Tropes: ===
* [[All Myths Are True]]: Subverted, though Marcus doggedly continues to insist otherwise.
{{quote| '''Marcus:''' [gestures at Kosh] Merlin was a great teacher, you know! <br />
'''Franklin:''' I'm not hearing this. <br />
'''Marcus''': They say he aged backwards. That was how he was able to foretell the future - by remembering it! Which means he ''came'' from the future! Maybe he had Arthur form the Round Table by remembering ''us''! }}
* [[Angst Coma]]: Franklin tries to help "King Arthur" overcome his denial by confronting him with his real identity (against Marcus' warnings). The resultant trauma is so severe, he falls into a catatonic state. He recovers when Delenn (the "Lady of the Lakes") stands at his bedside.
Line 51:
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: Even at 1800 years old, "King Arthur" can still kick some ass. He chivalrously beats up a lurker for robbing a destitute old lady in Downbelow.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: The last line regarding the person who represents Morgan le Fay of the episode alludes to the last episode of the season (i.e. {{spoiler|Anna Sheridan}}). The line about Merlin also applies to {{spoiler|Sinclair as Valen.}}
* [[Elegant Weapon for Aa More Civilized Age]]: Arthur's trusty sword gets the better of a half-dozen mooks with pipes.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: The obstinate postal worker complains that without his resources on Earth, he has to utilize back-doors, smuggling routes, and legal loopholes in order to keep the mail delivered on time. Garibaldi turns the argument around on him by observing that without Earthforce paying its overhead, the post office has back due rent. He offers the postal worker a protection fee of 101 credits.
** [[Ironic Echo]]: "Not so much when you think about it, is it?"
* [[Large Ham]]: "King Arthur" is an expansive talker, as can be expected. Also, he's played by veteran ham Michael York.
