On this day in 1995, Babylon 5 aired "The Coming Of Shadows." Officially, this served as the ninth episode in the program's second season/ Our friends at the IMDB sum up the plot as follows: "The Centauri emperor visits the station, leading G'Kar to attempt to assassinate him. Lord Refa and Londo conspire to expand their power on Centauri Prime." BTW, "The Coming Of Shadows" took home the 1996 Hugo Award for 'Best Dramatic Presentation.'
