I wanted to turn the Vorlon test into BS because otherwise I will continue to really, really hate this episode. I have such a fundamental disagreement with it that if it's supposed to be The Right Thing, then my respect for the entire Army of Light goes straight into the toilet.
It seems to me that on B5, there are two kinds of destiny -- what you think it is and what it really is -- which bleed into each other a lot, e.g. Londo seeing that G'kar will strangle him in twenty years without knowing why.
That's such a great point. I think you're totally correct.
Their friendship isn't made much of in the series, which is a shame because it's probably groundbreaking for a Minbari and Centauri to be so friendly.
Yeah, it probably is.
It's also possible that Kosh won't show himself to allies of the Shadows.
I think I'm leaning towards this explanation. I like that they left it ambiguous, though.
