For what it's worth, I seem to remember a DVD commentary (don't remember the episode) where JMS talks about the caste difference in bones, and the idea was that the religious caste carve theirs, and the warrior caste let them grow naturally. Also that Lennier's looked softer and smaller becuse he was relatively young, so his was akin to young buck antlers. If I find the commentary again I'll come back and add the episode name/names.
I vote "robe". 🙂 I do vote yes on Crusade as well... though I do know there will be some iffy episodes there as well. BTW: I would join a good 1980's V podcast like this one. As far as this episode, I consider it a filler, but do like the developments with Garibaldi, G'kar, Vir, and Londo. I can see how some of the other subplots can help contribute to the series to drive it along, however I am not sure it would have been a problem if it were skipped... and something with more substance took its place, like more on the telepath war. But, I also don't fault JMS for setting his sights on the conclusion of the 5-year arc either.
There was a concentration on women being propositioned and receiving unwanted attention, but it happens to men as well. I have a friend who's something of a body builder, and women think nothing of walking up and touching his abs or shoulders and sometimes rear, while making not very veiled comments about their approval. Women in groups in social situations especially get very bold and seem to egg each other on. Its part of being human, since you can't turn off your sexuality and a lot of people in today's society have trouble with either oversharing or overstepping social lines. But it makes me uncomfortable for him. He shrugs it off because that's what a man is supposed to do, never complain and never appear weak. Its why so many issues for men go unreported and aren't discussed. That's not to minimize women's issues, only to elaborate that a lot of thing's are human issues and not limited to a single group.
Vir playing Fruit Ninja is adorable. Why is the Alliance not kicking the Drazi out? Well, i think that's just politics. I'm not a politician by any means, but NATO hasn't kicked anyone out ever from what i know. I'm very curious to see how your newbies like the watch order! I basically did the same on my first watch, placing everything (including Crusade) before SiL but then I did rewatch Objects at Rest just before to get back into the mood. Can't wait to see the Newbies react to the end 😢
It's funny how I never twigged that this episode basically follows the two members of the Shirley Temple Fan Club - Vir and Lennier.

It was robes but ropes is much funnier
You may be cool... but you'll never be 'Lennier in a bar fight' cool 😎
Jessi, repeat after me: "The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain." Do that 500 times.
Thank you for your work.
The Drozy ambassador... ? Glad we didn't get the Coming next week commentary...
Gotta love TNT.
Please more Kevin impressions. Made me giggle.
I heard chains and whips...

I heard robes, at least.
