When I read the synopsis of this episode, I was just stunned, more
than I think I've ever been by a B5 turn of events (well, that may be
pushing it).  I actually stopped breathing for a few moments when I
read what happens near the end of the episode.  Before I get to my
question, some spoiler space:

Sorry for the gap, Joe.  Just trying to be considerate.  I thrive on
spoilers, but this one was almost too much for me.  Now, at last, my
question:

When Morden and associates confronted Kosh earlier in the series,
damaging his encounter suit, you didn't show any of the battle.  Will
we get to see ANY of the fight this time, or will we just see Morden
going to get Kosh, and then the broken suit/helmet/aftermath?  I know
it's often good to leave things to the audience's imagination, but I
still haven't seen a Shadow in personal combat!  (Or a Vorlon, for
that matter.)  I hope you'll tell me that we'll at least get to see
them facing off.  I think that just seeing the Shadows and Kosh
circling one another prior to actually engaging would be enough.
Please tell me we won't just see the "before" and the "after" this
time.  Thanks.

Eagerly awaiting a response,

-- Bob P. (rpierce at bdm.com)

In general, under certain kinds of circumstances, this being one, I would
go for a more stylized scene; some things can't be conveyed in too literal
a fashion.
