Delenn meets the Drakh, proving that the Shadow War isn’t as over as they thought. Franklin has sex with Number One, proving he has good taste. Sheridan wakes Ivanova from a sound sleep, proving he has a death wish. The Babylon 5 Rewatch opens some “Lines of Communication.”
An excerpt:
The actual contact with the Drakh is very well handled. Lennier realizing that the Drakh are communicating in Minbari rather than translated Interlac, meaning that they’ve had contact with a Minbari before. Both Lennier and Delenn instantly realizing what the Drakh homeworld that they lost was, but not saying anything in front of the emissary. Delenn and Lennier working out a strategy to get out before the Drakh take their revenge. It’s all expertly written and beautifully acted by Mira Furlan and Bill Mumy. Credit also to G.W. Stevens, who is just right as the naïve Religious Caste member who falls for the Drakh’s ploy.
