####Backplot

Babylon and Babylon 2 were sabotaged. Babylon 3 blew up before it was finished. Babylon 4 vanished without a trace in front of witnesses.

The Minbari highly value people who spend their lives searching for something. Delenn seems to believe that’s true of Sinclair.
####Unanswered Questions

Delenn seems to consider Sinclair a true seeker. What is he seeking?

Why didn’t the feeder want Gajic?

What happened to Babylon 4? (cf. [[Babylon Squared]])
####Analysis

Perhaps Delenn’s comments about Sinclair simply refer to his search for the truth about the Battle of the Line, if she realizes he knows something of what happened to him. Or there could be a deeper meaning.
####Notes

This episode features the series’ first CGI alien (the na’ka’leen feeder, pictured above.)

The transport Marie Celeste, which Thomas boarded at the end of the episode, is a reference to a sailing ship found adrift on the sea in 1872 by the crew of the ship Dei Gratia. The Celeste’s crew was missing, as was her single lifeboat, but there were half-eaten meals in the mess hall and other evidence the crew had left suddenly. Investigators found that Captain Morehouse of the Dei Gratia had dined with Captain Briggs of the Celeste the night before departure, and Morehouse and his crew were tried for murder. There was no hard evidence, and they were acquitted. The missing crewmen were never found.
