- Quotes
Na'Kal: Breen! You've managed to import breen from Homeworld! How?
G'Kar: It, uh - isn't actually breen.
Na'Kal: The smell! The taste...
G'Kar: It's an Earth food. They are called Swedish meatballs. It's a strange thing, but every sentient race has its own version of these Swedish meatballs! I suspect it's one of those great universal mysteries which will either never be explained, or which would drive you mad if you ever learned the truth.

Featured review
Fame comes to B5
It doesn't say whether or not Erica Gimpel did her own performance in this episode, but I am assuming she did. Even when I originally saw this episode I was impressed with her voice and Performance.
We get to see a 24th century version of a rhythm and blues ensemble. And we get to see that musicians in the 24th century have the same hangups as musicians in the 21st, but what we initially see as a "hangup" is not that at all.
This is just one of those episodes were a number of random threads are addressed. "Kosh" returns to Babylon 5, but not Kosh. Where the real Kosh was fairly abrupt, this "Kosh" is downright rude, also he has some kind of agenda that isn't really clear at this moment other than the fact that he was expecting to locate a piece of the real Kosh, who normally would have been traveling about inside of Lyta Alexander.
Mainly, the subject of Dr. Franklin's stim addiction has to be addressed and he will only do this on his own terms. Ergo he has to wander about the station until he "meets himself".
Although this episode appears to be "Filler" after the amazing "war without end", it is fairly important and if we just ignore it, we miss a couple of important things. Especially because this is the episode where they put Garibaldi's discovery about shadows and telepath's into effect, there is a confrontation between the white star and some shadow vessels- and the shadows really don't want this discovery to become public.
I highly enjoyed the musical interlude and even if it is a bit "soap opera-ish", so what? Erica gives us something pleasant to look at and listen to.
