Babylon 5 Universe : Season 1 Trivia

1. In what episode do we first see Delenn constructing the chrysalis device that she finally finishes in this episode?

From Quiz 1.22 "Chrysalis"

Answer: "The Gathering"

JMS, genius that he is, has been planning Delenn's transformation from the beginning. The chrysalis device that we see Delenn building is first glaringly visible in "Signs and Portents" when Morden questions Delenn, but it can be seen in its very first stages in "The Gathering." The first shot we get of it is when G'Kar approaches Delenn about forming an alliance between Narn and Minbar. Although the pieces are clear, they are there. "Soul Hunter" is the next episode we see the device, and it has been added on to since we saw it in "The Gathering."

It's the best-performance bike of its time. Or it will be when I figure out how to put the damn thing together." Lennier: "Well, sounds most impressive. What exactly does it do?" Garibaldi: "What does it do? It's a motorcycle. You ride it. Wrooom!..." Lennier: "Ah, a vehicle." Garibaldi: "Oh, it's more than just a vehicle. This baby's a piece of Earth history."

Answer: Centauri

We learn the details of first contact through a conversation between Londo and Garibaldi. It turns out that the Centauri tried to con the humans into believing that Earth was a lost Centauri colony and that the Centauri practically ran the entire galaxy. This, of course, wasn't true as we learn through differences in anatomy. This however, was not an alien races' first contact with Earth. We know that both the Vree and the Vorlons have visited Earth and made a lasting impression. The Vorlons created telepaths ("Secrets of the Soul") and the Vree abducted humans for further study ("Grail").

Takashima was originally supposed to be the infiltrator on staff, however, that part was taken over by Garibaldi's aide when Takashima was reassigned ("Chrysalis"). We can see a little of this in "The Gathering" as the assassin used Takashima's identicard to gain entry to Del Varner's quarters, guiding suspicion in her direction.

And as your friend, I'm telling you it does no good to bottle up your feelings. Your father is dead. You need to express your grief or it'll eat you up." Ivanova: "I appreciate your concern, Commander, and your friendship, but...my feelings are my own, and how I display them, or not, is my choice. Now, if I may return to my duty."
