Oh, the boyfriend & I were discussing the novel-esque progression of B5 while riding home in the car, and how if we had to pick "two best" episodes in each season it's just very unbearably difficult in season 3 (I'd go with "Severed Dreams" and "Z'ha'dum" and he'd go with "Severed Dreams" and "Shadow Dancing.") and then went into how at that point several episodes connected in mini-arcs.
Which all led into the discussion of how the arc would have been spaced if they didn't expect to be cancelled at the end of S4. And that led into how at the end of "The Long Night" Sheridan is reading the note Sinclair left him ("to seek, to strive, to find, and not to yield") as he leads the armada to Corianna VI, and they're all there except one little White Start (carrying Ivanova & Lorien).
Which lead me to say "Because Ivanova's off gathering the First Ones. You know, "My White Star brings all the First Ones to the yard." And there was much laughter.
