YMMV / Babylon Five S 01 E 10 Believers

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Kosh was already established as aloof and made a habit of declining to participate in political matters. So why did he bother to meet with the parents? Was he just bored?
• Fridge Horror: Beliefs don't arise from a vaccum. For example, the ritual of either deeply burying or incinerating dead bodies arose because corpse-borne diseases made people think they were being punished for not laying the deceased to rest properly. What happens to one of these aliens when their skin is broken that makes people think they're an Empty Shell? What would have happened if Shon were allowed to live?
