Pretty good, but not great
planktonrules25 January 2007
This is a fairly good episode directed by Tony Dow (the Beaver's brother on "Leave it to Beaver"). Unlike episodes that have two contiguous themes, this one centers almost completely on Delenn's return to Minbar for "the Dreaming"--an exploratory dream-like rite that helps them get in touch with truth. In this case, the high muckity-mucks from her clan want her to explore her motivations for her recent actions. There is a fissure, as many in her clan are pretty xenophobic and can't understand her desire to marry an alien. To accompany her on this journey is Lennier, who you really have to feel sorry for (as usual), because it's obvious he loves her and cannot have her.

While on the journey, at first Delenn THINKS that maybe her clan is right (though she knows in her heart they aren't). How all this is resolved is pretty interesting, but not an episode that is a must-see.
