the other one, which I almost used, was when you see two Daffy's arguing with each other
that sneaky devil!
Rebo and Zooty are just that awesome that they can get passed the jammers. Obliviously.
Past. Obviously. :P Obliviously hahaha
Cartoonist Scott Adams, creator of the "Dilbert" comic strip, has a cameo appearance in this episode.
:O Wow, cool! Sneaky cameo is sneaky!
The show, at root, is about ethics, among other things, and the ethical choices will continue to get more difficult the deeper you go.
I really like this quote. This show would be great for a philosophy class.
The interrogator mentioned that Sheridan had been interrogated once before. That referred to "Comes the Inquisitor," in which Sheridan was interrogated by Jack the Ripper (played by Wayne Alexander, who played the Drazi in this episode.)"
STOP FUCKING WITH OUR MINDS, JMS!!!!!
The interrogator looked like an ordinary person. Exactly. The banal face of evil. You look at most of the guys who ran Treblinka, or Bergen-Belsen, and they're largely ordinary looking guys, who could be accountants or repair men or car salesmen. They're *us*...and this was designed to remind us of that. The evil, mustache-twirling villain is too easy, and too far from the truth of it."
I'm sorry to astonish you, but the techniques of interrogation existed long before B5 or ST or Closetland came into existence, and will continue (sadly) long afterward. The techniques are the techniques, and those are well documented.
*nods* It's true. I was recognizing a lot of Stasi interrogation techniques in that episode, myself. Interrogation is a very, very old and cruel art of human manipulation.
there have been a number of films which have looked at the process of interrogation in South American and European countries, using a very similar structure to what was done here, because the ways in which the "problem" are handled are pretty much universal.

Love this. I mean, look at this guy: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f0/Simo_hayha_honorary_rifle.jpg I mean, he looks nice, right? He's the most successful known sniper who ever lived. 505 kills, all by himself. The Russians were terrified of this guy.
