The Power of One
I am a huge fan of "Babylon Five" but I haven't watched an episode in a long time.
Tonight I decided to watch the pilot episode again. I was struck at first by the strangeness of it, the familiar and unfamiliar, the things that would change as the series continued, the things that would stay the same.
But what really spoke to me was the scene early on when Delenn and Sinclair are sitting in the garden. Delenn admires the Japanese stone garden and comments how well it represents "the power of one mind to change the universe." She also takes a dangerous, unsanctioned action. When Sinclair asks why she would risk it, she replies that clearly he has not spent enough time contemplating the stone garden.
The power of one...good lesson.
