Convictions

Not many fishes left in the sea. Not many fishes, just Londo and me. Not many fishes left in the sea. Not many fishes, just Londo and me.

—G'Kar

This episode contains examples of:

• Brick Joke: The joke Londo tells to the comatose Lennier is repeated by Dr. Franklin and finished by Lennier as he wakes up.
• Continuity Nod: The song G'Kar sings (used as the page quote, above) is a parody of the song he sang in The Parliament of Dreams.
• Crowning Moment of Funny: G'Kar's Laughing Mad scene.
• Dead-Man Switch: While Sheridan confronts Carlson.
• Freudian Excuse: Carlson lists the misfortunes he's had in recent months, but Sheridan puts him down anyway.

Sheridan: What can I say? Life's tough sometimes.

• Laughing Mad: G'Kar seems to stray into this for a while.
• Light Bulb Joke: The afore-mentioned joke from Londo, which references the Centauri's obsession with the golden days of glory.

How many Centauri does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one. But in the old days of the Centauri Republic, hundreds of servants would change thousands of lightbulbs at our slightest whim!

• Locked in a Room: Londo and G'Kar get trapped in a transport tube by one of the bombs. Rather than help each other escape, G'Kar would rather watch Londo die.
• Mad Bomber
• Nothing Personal, it's just the times.
• Pet the Dog: Londo's bedside vigil for Lennier
