"Acts of Sacrifice" is the episode in which both Londo and G'Kar really begin to emerge as great, tragic figures. This one is also deeply tied into the larger plot arc of the Shadow War.
I would rate this ep a '10' if it wasn't marred by a vulgar sub-plot involving Susan Ivanova and a horny alien ambassador. Granted, it was an amusing piece of low comedy but far below the level of the rest of the episode. This material would have been far better included in one of the throwaway, filler eps. As it is, I still rate "Acts of Sacrifice" a nine on the IMDb scale.

The only discernible thought in this farce is the suggestion that TPTB will gracefully submit to a successful rebel as the rulers of the Village are shown doing to Number Six. It's utter nonsense of course as anyone who actually studies history or political science could tell you. Just for one, if old corrupt establishments did things like that, events in the US since November, 2016, would have been rather different, you think?
So much for the only idea in this crapfest coherent enough to be critiqued. The rest of this is obscurationist bullshid. The creators of the show subjected their audience to this cloud of bs because they didn't know how to end the story they'd started. It's a histrionic, psychedelic version of the "It was all a dream" cop-out used on shows like "Dallas" and "Lost".
Too bad. "The Prisoner" had a promising start and there were a few good eps along the way.
