Grail (Babylon 5) - Arc Significance

Arc Significance

• Jinxo's explanation of his "curse" clarifies the circumstances of the destruction of the first three previous Babylon Stations, and indicates that the disappearance of Babylon 4 was particularly sudden and uncanny.

• While talking with Gajic, Delenn and Lennier indicate for the first time that the warrior and religious castes of Minbari are often at odds.

• Kosh's reply of "good" when told that the mystery of the Vorlon's true appearance has been misused to provoke fear among the population of the station hints at the deliberate manipulation he is engaged in.

• According to series creator, primary writer, and executive producer J. Michael Straczynski, "...the rail story was fairly self-contained, not much in the way of arc related stuff there."
