  20. Watch For

  23. about the Centauri in a later episode.
  24. _________________________________________________________________
  25. Backplot
  26. * "Never fails," says Garibaldi when Catherine comes aboard.
  27. Apparently he's known her and Sinclair for a very long time. They
  28. seem to run into one another every three years, though this is the
  29. first time in a while that they've both been available.
  30. * Sinclair and Carolyn have drifted apart - he wasn't willing to
  31. quit and go into business with her as a trader. (cf: [19]"The
  32. Gathering")
  33. * After he delivers G'Kar's death pronouncement, councillor Du'Rog
  34. says, "This should come as no surprise to you G'Kar. You've ruined
  35. my family's name and humiliated me before the council. Retribution
  36. was inevitable."
  37. * Later G'Kar explains to Na'Toth why he can't ask for help:
  38. "...this would lead to some unfortunate revelations about my years
  39. on the council, revelations that could affect my position.
  40. Personally, I don't _care_ if the information comes out. My only
  41. concern is that it might compromise our standing in the
  42. negotiations."
  43. * The best assassins among the Narn are the "Thenta Makur." They are
  44. well-organized and respectable in their own way. They leave a
  45. "death blossom" to give their mark time to get their affairs in
  46. order, and offer a solid guarantee: they will personally kill any
  47. assassin who betrays a commission.
  48. * G'Kar has survived _two_ prior assassination attempts, but did not
  49. appear to have experience with the Thenta Makur.
  50. * Vir explains the vivacious Centauri festival:
  51. It's a celebration of life. It comes from a time in our world's
  52. history when two dominant species were fighting for supremacy: our
  53. people, and a species we called "Xon". At year's end, we count how
  54. many of our people survived, and celebrate our good fortune!
  55. Unanswered Questions
  56. * Why is G'Kar, after serving 5 years on the Narn council, now
  57. serving as the Narn diplomat to Babylon 5? Is this a move up, or
  58. down?
  59. * What "revelations" about his years on the council does G'Kar want
  60. hidden?
  61. * Did Sinclair play a greater role in the Minbari ceremony than was
  62. apparent? ([20]see Analysis)
  63. * When Catherine first enters Sinclair's quarters, he's listening to
  64. [21]part of Tennyson's "Ulysses." "Which are you," she asks,
  65. quoting from elsewhere in the poem, "[22] an idle king, doling
  66. unequal laws unto a savage race, that hoard, and sleep, and feed,
  67. and know not you, or [23]a gray spirit, yearning in desire, to
  68. follow knowledge like a sinking star?" He leaves the question
  69. unanswered.
  70. Analysis
  71. * The cross-species religious festival was Earth Central's idea, and
  72. is consistent with Babylon 5's _raison d'etre._ The Minbari and
  73. Centauri participated willingly, but nothing was seen of Narn
  74. religion (cf: [24]"By Any Means Necessary"). No-one made note of
  75. this omission - perhaps it's taken for granted that Narn religion
  76. is not for outsiders.
  77. * The Narn employ couriers on a weekly basis. They also have FTL
  78. communications. Hence, they must not consider FTL secure.
  79. * Na'Toth is cool-headed, with a sarcastic sense of humor - for
  80. G'Kar a great improvement over the literal and over-enthusiastic
  81. Ko'Dath.
  82. * When Lennier greets Delenn as "Satai," she rebukes him: "No-one
  83. here knows of my connection. No-one must find out [...] it would
  84. lead to certain questions I don't want to answer just now."
  85. Apparently, it is well-known among the Minbari who are the members
  86. of the grey council. They are also greatly revered, judging by
  87. Lennier's reluctance to raise his eyes in her presence.
  88. * Vir's [25]speech is quite remarkable. What endured after the
  89. Centauri conflict with the Xon was a celebration of survival,
  90. rather than a mourning for those lost. This is notable both for
  91. what they chose to focus on (the joyous rather than the sad), and
  92. for its suggestion that the Centauri may have been nearly
  93. destroyed by the Xon (everyone was lucky to have survived each
  94. year).
  95. * A theme of real Babylonian history: a stronger race oppresses a
  96. weaker one, and generations of the weaker one grow up fighting for
  97. their lives. Eventually the once-weaker race becomes so hardened
  98. and energized in their own self-protection that they rise up and
  99. conquer their oppressors (cf: [26]History.Babylonia).
  100. * This theme may be the very story of the Xon and the Centauri, for
  101. the Centauri eventually destroyed them and didn't lose momentum
  102. until they were an empire spanning an entire quadrant of the
  103. galaxy (cf: [27]"The Gathering" ). This may also _become_ the
  104. story of the Centauri the Narn: the Centauri invaded their
  105. homeworld and held sway for a hundred years, but now the Narn are
  106. free and bent on destruction, while the Centauri are on the
  107. decline.
  108. * Among the many Centauri household gods on the banquet table are
  109. Ben-Zan, god of food, Mo-Goth, god of the underworld and protector
  110. of front doors, and Li, goddess of passion. The golden statue of
  111. Li portrays her with both arms and one leg raised. Visible on her
  112. body are breasts, a very large _male_ hair-crest, and three
  113. tentacles emerging from her hips on both sides. (cf. [28]"The
  114. Quality of Mercy")
  115. * A [29]transcript of Delenn's recital during the Minbari ceremony
  116. is available.
  117. * This recital is very important, especially if Sinclair is the
  118. incarnation of a figure in Minbari prophecy, for which there are
  119. indications:
  120. + _Minbari assassin:_ "There is a hole in your mind." ([30]"The
  121. Gathering")
  122. + The coincidence of the Minbari surrender with their initial
  123. discovery of Sinclair. ([31]"The Gathering")
  124. + _Delenn:_ "I knew you would come - we were right about you."
  125. ([32]"Soul Hunter")
  126. + Delenn's [33]possible covert marriage to him in this episode.
  127. + (see also: [34]"And the Sky Full of Stars",
  128. [35]"Deathwalker", [36]"Signs and Portents")
  129. * The giving of fruit to each of the main characters coincided with
  130. particular parts of Delenn's recital. This could be literary
  131. foreshadowing, but it's unlikely that Delenn herself intended the
  132. juxtaposition.
  133. "From birth _{Londo}_, through death and renewal _{Vir}_, you must
  134. put aside old things _{Garibaldi}_, old fears _{Sinclair}_, old
  135. lives _{Ivanova}_. This is your death _{G'Kar}_, the death of
  136. flesh..."
  137. * For the record, Londo and Vir eat their fruits, Garibaldi
  138. declines, Ivanova puts hers down, G'Kar exchanges his with hers,
  139. Ivanova (unawares) then eats hers, and G'Kar gives his new fruit a
  140. distrustful sniff. Sinclair, under Delenn's compelling gaze, eats
  141. his as well.
  142. * When Catherine hears about "red fruit" being part of the Minbari
  143. ceremony, she asks if there was a serious exchange of looks. When
  144. Sinclair confirms this, she chuckles, "Oh it's a rebirth ceremony
  145. all right. It also doubles as a marriage ceremony. Depending on
  146. how seriously anyone took it, somebody got married the other day."
  147. Sinclair did not mention who was seriously looking at whom - he
  148. may in some sense now be married to Delenn.
  149. * "You must put aside... old lives" reaffirms the Minbari belief in
  150. reincarnation revealed in [37]"Soul Hunter", and suggests that the
  151. Minbari may have _conscious access_ to their own past lives. Else
  152. what would they have to put aside? (cf: [38]"The War Prayer")
  153. Notes
  154. * _G'Kar's song_ (presumably translated from Narn):
  155. I'm thinking of thinking of calling her right
  156. after my afternoon nap.
  157. I'm thinking of thinking of sending her flowers,
  158. right after Bonnie gets back.
  159. So many fishies left in the sea,
  160. so many fishies - but no-one for me...
  161. I'm thinking of thinking of hooking a love,
  162. soon after supper is done.
  163. * Ko'Dath, G'Kar's previous aide (with whom he was none too happy)
  164. died in an unexplained airlock accident a week before.
  165. * _Londo's joke:_
  166. Garibaldi: And what happened to the Xon?
  167. Londo: Dead, all of them, and good riddance. Do you know what the
  168. last Xon said, just before he died? "AAAAARGH!"
  169. Garibaldi (to Sinclair): Can I kill him now?
  170. * _Londo's toast_ (and reprise):
  171. "Valtoooo!"
  172. * Ivanova was the only non-Centauri who seemed to be enjoying
  173. herself at their festival.
  174. * Na'Toth's "sponsor" for her position as G'Kar's aide was Li'Dak,
  175. fifth circle. Li'Dak's sponsor was Du'Rog himself.
  176. * G'Kar's "reputed fascination with Earth women" (cf: [39]"Born to
  177. the Purple") is well-known among the Narn ruling class.
  178. * Delenn's new assistant is Lennier of the Third Fane of Chu'Domo,
  179. which has served with honor for 500 years. He has just gone from
  180. being a "simple novitiate" to serving one of the Grey Council -
  181. apparently quite a big jump.
  182. * There is consistency in the shape of Minbari head-bones. The top
  183. edge of the female head-bone is a smooth curve back to a raised
  184. point in back, while the top edge of the male head-bone rises to
  185. several points on its way back.
  186. * There were nine participants in the Minbari rebirth ceremony. All
  187. of the instruments visible were triangular, as was the table
  188. around which they stood.
  189. * In the lingo of the Free Traders, Earth (or thereabouts) is "The
  190. Hub".
  191. * Sinclair has a brother, about whom he has not yet spoken.
  192. * Sinclair has been caught on [40]Tennyson since his academy years -
  193. "we find meaning where we can," he says.
  194. * G'Kar and Na'Toth both imply she enjoyed beating him up.
  195. * When this episode was broadcast in Malaysia in July 1995, the
  196. Centauri celebration was cut, probably because of its depiction of
  197. drunken behavior.
  198. * A sign in the arrivals area:
  199. Welcome to Babylon 5
  200. Customer Section
  201. Atmosphere Caution
  202. Six different atmospheres are currently available on B5. Others
  203. may be created by prior arrangement. Uncommon atmospheric makeups
  204. may be synthesized for encounter suits. For specific atmochemical
  205. breakdowns see monitor below.
  206. jms speaks
  207. * Regarding making people laugh until their sides hurt...this is
  208. something I always go for. It's easy to go for the "well, that's
  209. amusing" stuff, but to make someone laugh out loud, or even until
  210. it hurts, is tough. In most (but not all) cases, I try to get one
  211. solid laugh per episode, one moving scene per episode, and one
  212. "head-conk" per episode. The first obligation of a writer is to
  213. make you *feel* something, and if I can do that in an episode,
  214. then I've done my job.
  215. It helps in that I'm not generally a big laugher; when I go to
  216. plays or movies with other people, and they're comedies,
  217. afterwards I'll always get "Why didn't you like it?" "I did." "You
  218. didn't laugh." "I was just thinking about how funny it was."
  219. Usually I can see a punchline coming, and part of my brain is
  220. racing ahead to what it might be. (And half the time at least I'm
  221. right.) So I've adopted the philosophy that if I find something
  222. extremely funny, other people will laugh at it; if I'm so tickled
  223. that I absolutely laugh out loud, I know it'll probably kill
  224. several people. As a result, if I'm going for a funny scene, I
  225. don't leave it alone until I laugh at it.
  226. When I thought about Londo passing out face first on the banquet
  227. table uttering "...but in purple, I'm *stunning*," I just about
  228. fell off my chair laughing. Sometimes I'm a little broad in my
  229. comedy, other times I go for something a little more literate or
  230. (one hopes) witty (most of these go to Ivanova, whereas the broad
  231. stuff tends to go to Londo in most cases). But I try to keep it
  232. varied.
  233. Strangely enough, the comics that *do* manage to break me up are
  234. all the more assaultive ones...Jerry Lewis, Robin Williams, Buddy
  235. Hackett (who can reduce me to tears), and a few others.
  236. * By the way...on the Kosh poisoning thread, which was originally to
  237. be discussed in "Parliament"...we ended up about 3 minutes long on
  238. "Parliament," and three minutes short on D.C. Fontana's "War
  239. Prayer." So we lifted that scene and inserted it into her episode,
  240. doing a small bit of ADR to facilitate the move. It's now quite
  241. seamless.
  242. * Bill Mumy came in to audition, same as eveybody else. It was known
  243. then that it was a recurring role (contrary to his recollection of
  244. things), and when he walked in the door, I knew he was right.
  245. * BTW, this week will Bill Mumy's first week on B5, and he's done a
  246. very nifty job as Lennier. He brings a wonderful sense of absolute
  247. innocence...the proverbial innocent abroad...to Lennier's
  248. character. The Minbari prosthetics look great on him, enhancing
  249. the sense he brings to the character. He's also great with the
  250. cast, and keeping things up during shooting. At one point, as
  251. they're leaving camera, Delenn says to Lennier, who has just
  252. arrived at the station, "Now tell me of home; I have been away far
  253. too long." His ad-libbed off-camera response: "Beatlemania is
  254. back." (Another ad-lib for another shot: "Minimalls...they're
  255. everywhere," and "Well, we just got Pizza Hut and cable.")
  256. * Regarding Catherine Sakai...believe me, this ain't a consort kind
  257. of relationship. It will be monogamous, but difficult in many
  258. ways. This has been an on-again/off-again relationship between
  259. them for years, made up of three parts passion and two parts
  260. teeth. It will be a very fiery relationship. And this is a woman
  261. with her own business, her own ship, who comes and goes as she
  262. wishes. You have to understand that I love writing strong female
  263. characters, and Catherine will be probably one of the strongest.
  264. * Catherine Sakai is played by Julie Nickson Soul, an asian-american
  265. actor who's done quite a bit of work in high-profile films. Her
  266. character is never Cathy, only Catherine (occasionally Cath to
  267. Sinclair, but *only* occasionally). She's a planetary surveyer,
  268. working for one of the Earth corporations, looking for uninhabited
  269. worlds and asteroids for exploitation.
  270. * We've shot our first scenes between Sinclair and his new love
  271. interest, Catherine Sakai (as played by Julia Nickson). This is a
  272. very, very strong character, and she brings a wonderful vibrancy
  273. to Sakai. They have a unique relationship that looks and sounds
  274. like a real relationship, with all its ups and downs and dumb
  275. moments. One way that I've reinforced this is that...well, in the
  276. first episode in which they meet again (they were involved
  277. before), just about every scene between them is lifted almost
  278. directly from personal experience.
  279. And given some of the awkward, even painful conversations that
  280. take place, it was very, *very* hard to watch this being
  281. rehearsed. (Michael and Julia worked over a weekend with the
  282. director to get the nuances just right.) When it came time to
  283. shoot the scenes, much as I wanted to be on-set, I just couldn't
  284. do it. My heart just kept falling right down to my shoes. I can't
  285. wait for the first person to say "I don't buy this as a real
  286. relationship" just so's I can whap him upside the head. But I have
  287. a hunch that won't happen. It comes across as very real, and as a
  288. very vulnerable moment for both characters.
  289. "Write what you know," they said. Right. How about I just take a
  290. power drill and stick it in my ear...it'd be faster, less painful,
  291. and after a while I might even come to like it....
  292. * A parliament is a gathering of officials, of representatives,
  293. which matches the story in terms of representatives of different
  294. places, and beliefs. The dreams are the belief systems.
  295. * The "stay put" line was ad-libbed by Andreas, because the crawfish
  296. kept crawling off the table.
  297. * Yes, definitely keep in mind the intent of the ceremony...but be
  298. sure to remember *all* aspects of it. ([41]see Analysis)
  299. Also, take a good look at Li, goddess of passion, in Londo's
  300. ceremony. There's something about it that will be very funny
  301. later. ([42]see Analysis)
  302. * The quote Delenn recited in "Parliament" was the quote from Valen
  303. when he formed the first Grey Council.
  304. * RE: the glasses...it's not something I've been able to figure out
  305. how to mention, but the Narn pride themselves on their physical
  306. perfection. Hence there is no market for physical aides; it's
  307. something to be ashamed of. So they have to crib stuff from other
  308. species, like glasses that have a prescription close enough to be
  309. useful. I have *no* idea how to work that into a script, and am
  310. not sure it is even a good idea to do so.
  311. * The atheist was not only first in line, he was the best dressed
  312. and smartest looking and nattiest one in the line.
  313. jm(what a coincidence)s
  314. * From a personal point of view, I'm very fond of "The Parliament of
  315. Dreams," which is a very funny show, and at times a very emotional
  316. show. "Parliament" is all over the place...it's got all of our
  317. major characters, our ambassadors, their seconds, we see lots of
  318. group scenes, we're all over the station, dipping in and out of
  319. three different but interconnected stories...it's really a matter
  320. of keeping a lot of balls in the air at one time, and I think we
  321. pulled it off nicely.
  322. * There's one truly remarkable shot we did for the current episode,
  323. shot Friday evening. Generally, in any shot with a crowd, you need
  324. about 20-45 people. That's usually enough to fill out the shot in
  325. any set you can go to. More than that gets costly, and isn't
  326. really noticeable unless you frame your shot just *so*.
  327. Yesterday's shot has 160 extras. It's a very impressive, and very
  328. moving shot. It appears in the tag of "the Parliament of Dreams."
  329. It's the kind of shot you just don't see anywhere else. We had
  330. some people from PTEN and a film crew for a behind-the-scenes
  331. piece on hand, and they all commented on how only this show would
  332. do this shot...and how significant it is. (I can't tell you what
  333. it was, because that gives it away, and I want it to be kind of a
  334. surprise; suffice to say you'll definitely know it when you see
  335. it.)
  336. * The SkyDancer appears in the next episode. "See you next
  337. Wednesday" is...well...it's when she's going to be back on the
  338. station. She has to complete her run by Tuesday, and will be back
  339. on Wednesday. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar....
  340. * [G'Kar's] song is an original, by our series composer, Christopher
  341. Franke.
  342. * The "fishy" song was composed by Christopher Franke specifically
  343. for that scene. I told him I wanted sort of a Narnish Gilbert and
  344. Sullivan, and that's what we got.
  345. * I would think that Londo and G'Kar might actually find something
  346. in common in appreciation of Gilbert and Sullivan. In fact,
  347. G'Kar's "little fishie" song in "Parliament of Dreams" was
  348. intended to be a bit G&S in nature.
  349. * One of my favorite exchanges, which never seems to show up, is
  350. from PoD v.1, when G'Kar says to Tu'Pari, who has come looking for
  351. Ambassador G'Kar, "This is Ambassador G'Kar's quarters. This is
  352. Ambassador G'Kar's table. This is Ambassador G'Kar's dinner. What
  353. part of this progression escapes you?"
  354. * Episode #5 is the two year anniversary of B5 going on-line; not
  355. two years since the pilot movie. It took about a year and a half
  356. to grow to this point, and for the final of the Big 5 ambassadors,
  357. Kosh, to arrive, completing the group. It's now roughly six months
  358. after that, into the new year.
  359. * "So, I've been wondering who made up Londo's line in Parliament,
  360. `but in purple, I'm stunning!'"
  361. Ummmmm.....the scriptwriter?
  362. * The Xon did evolve into fair amount of intelligence. There are a
  363. very few land masses on Centauri Prime, separated by huge oceans.
  364. The two species evolved pretty much separately, on different
  365. continents that were absolutely unreachable until one or both
  366. sides developed sufficient technology for extended sea
  367. travel...and that's when all hell broke loose.
  368. * There's a definite improvement arc in the show; the deeper we got
  369. into production, the better the stories generally became, and the
  370. better the production values. (With a few exceptions.) The biggest
  371. change in the show came once we began writing scripts *after* we'd
  372. begun shooting episodes, so that we/I could again see the actors
  373. and find their fingerprints. "Parliament" is the first one I wrote
  374. after we started filming; "Soul," "Infection" and "Midnight" were
  375. all written prior to filming starting.
  376. * You're seeing, btw, why this episode, much as it's a favorite,
  377. couldn't be shown any sooner; there has to be some familiarity
  378. with the characters for this to be most effective.
  379. * Re: G'Kar being theatrical...that's who he is. I like theatrical
  380. characters. I know many in real life that're much bigger than
  381. life, very broad...and great fun. Not every character has to be
  382. sonorous and serious and restrained. The whole point of *having*
  383. alien characters is that they shuld act differently than the
  384. majority of us.
  385. * The Xon? Dead. All of them. And good riddance.
  386. * The Xon weren't any more evil or good than the race that survived;
  387. two equally sentient species emerged on the Centauri homeworld
  388. over the course of evolution. They were more or less separated by
  389. distance and land masses and oceans, so there was little contact
  390. until either side developed the technology required to find the
  391. other. It was the next best thing to a first contact situation,
  392. except it's on their own world; they were very much alien to one
  393. another. Somewhere along the line, it was decided that this world
  394. wasn't big enough for both of them, so they began a campaign of
  395. slaughter against each other. Londo's people won.
  396. * Kosh was otherwise engaged....
  397. * Actually, many of the alien races do *not* have monolithic
  398. religious beliefs. You'll note that G'Kar didn't take part in the
  399. festival from the Narn POV. You'll see Narn beliefs in "By Any
  400. Means Necessary," and there it's mentioned that there are many
  401. different bliefs among Narns, G'Quon and G'Lan being the two
  402. larger systems.
  403. * Sure, I could've gotten them into bed by the second act...but that
  404. wasn't the point. What I wanted to show, what interests me, is the
  405. give and take leading up to that moment, the feints and parries
  406. and "how do we get past this?" That to me is some of the most
  407. interesting stuff in a relationship.
  408. * As to the interpretation of the final tag scene...my thought was
  409. that it's a way of saying, "Our dominant belief is that ALL
  410. beliefs are respected."
  411. * There was a follower of Islam; right next to the orthodox jew at
  412. the front of the line. "Mr. Rashid, a Moslem." I made sure we put
  413. them side by side.
  414. * I didn't say that Earth was the ONLY one with diverse religions. I
  415. don't understand why it is that when ONE thing is shown, it means
  416. that's the ONLY thing. It's not. Narns, as we'll see in "By Any
  417. Means Necessary," have several competing beliefs. The idea of the
  418. festival wasn't to compare and contrast, only to show what *we*
  419. (whoever *we* is) believes.
  420. * Well, we're doomed...I just realized today that our first *really*
  421. strong episode, "The Parliament of Dreams," airs the same night
  422. (in most markets, the 23rd) as the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan
  423. face off in the olympics.
  424. Imagine a silence vast as space...that sound is neilsen ratings
  425. meters stuck unmovingly on CBS....
  426. * Needless to say, though, we got *creamed* by the Tonya/Nancy Show.
  427. Which got a 64 share, the 3rd biggest ratings for a sporting event
  428. in history. But then, *everybody* got beat up by that one, so
  429. again it's okay.
  430. * The line, "See you next wednesday," was basically an offhand line,
  431. slightly but not significantly based in the idea that in most
  432. markets, B5 airs on Wednesdays. It was never meant to be a John
  433. Landis reference, and if I'd known it was (I'd never heard it
  434. before), would've changed it.
  435. * I keep constantly fighting the urge to have G'Kar return from a
  436. trip to the Narn homeworld with a limp, a cane, and a (temporary)
  437. eyepatch, muttering, "Boy, the Thenta Makur have *no* sense of
  438. humor."
  439. (Now we'll see how many get *that* one.)
  440. * BTW, re: Sinclair remembering all those names...we used many of
  441. the real names of the people standing in line, many of whom *did*
  442. belong to the religion they had come to represent. We went down
  443. this line of 250 people, and went over their names *twice* with
  444. O'Hare. That's all. After that, he got each name right every time;
  445. amazingly quick memorization.
  446. * This is something that Andreas and I discussed, and it's not so
  447. much that G'Kar *has* to cook, but that he *likes* to cook. From
  448. the singing, it's clear he's having a good time....
  449. * Ko'Dath met with an unfortunate accident with an airlock.
  450. * Just learned that Babylon 5 won an Emmy for its Makeup Design, for
  451. "The Parliament of Dreams." This is our second Emmy so far, our
  452. first for the series. I'm determined that next year we get some
  453. notices for our acting and other above-the-line areas.
  454. In any event, congratulations to our makeup and prosthetics design
  455. people.
