    I remember this scene with fondness. A man wearing armor and yielding a sword, VS a gang. G'kar joins in the fight because he could tell at a glance it was a simple fight a good man vs bad men. Of all the political crap he has to deal with this one fight was a simple battle of good vs evil, and he picked the side of good. The old saying "Evil thrives when good men do nothing," G'kar saw a good man doing something and joined him.

Even if it did turn out that Arthur was just a war veteran, mentally unbalanced by unimaginable guilt and trauma, it doesn't change the fact that he represented an ideal sorely lacking in the galaxy.

    I wonder, it it was then, after seeing Arthur, delusion or not, that G'kar began his introspection. To see such a noble, kind, and righteous visage, regardless of why it exists, would it not give you pause, make you evaluate your own notions. Perhaps G'kar took his "knighthood" even with its falsity and birth from delusion, inside himself, and this was the point in which he strived to become nobler than he was. I can see some of Arthur in his later speeches, in his one voice declaration, in his speech on freedom, mayhaps even in his forgiveness later on. Perhaps Arthur Pendragon did live on, in G'kar.

    I think that in meeting him and learning about the knights of old and the code of chivalry and all that, it gave G'kar the sort of philosophical framework he'd perhaps been missing. Concepts and feelings he'd already had were given words and it all started to fit together, which is why G'kar took to it as rapidly as he did

    Pneumonica I've heard stories to that effect: I once read a memoir of a woman who worked canine SAR for years, and she told the tale of a "military man" who attached himself to their unit during a disaster, and proved to be extremely helpful and effective, despite being later found to be a crazy person. The irony always stayed with her.

Formerly the great warrior of Arthur, now aged and wise like Merlin. Helping guide a new generation of Narn, the man who Knighted G'Kar the Red.

    It would've been really interesting if they left it in doubt, or even hinted, that he actually may have been the real King Arthur. Heck, they could've had him leaving the station to find places that needed justice done, and have him meet Kosh on the way, who give him some sort of acknowledgement, hinting that perhaps the Vorlons found and preserved King Arthur. I'm not criticizing the ending, it was alright. I just think this version I just wrote might've been interesting.

    The doctor in this episode is at his most annoying. More than 20 years ago, I saw a news story about a child that was an idiot savant. She could do almost nothing for herself, but she drew sketches that were comparable to something by Michelangelo or Da Vinci. A shrink decided it would be better for her to know how to tie her shoes and do other trivial things, so through a grueling process he essentially broke her. She learned to tie shoes, but lost the ability to draw like a master. The moral of my story? If a mental problem results in greatness, keep the mental problem.
