Day 15 - Some pics of Worker Caste Minbari in the series

[kanadka]

(they're always in the background)

So I'd really hoped to have finished all of S1 but alas, only had time for the first 10 episodes (+ The Gathering). My consensus and tl;dr:

• three Minbari appear in the background of scenes that don't feature Minbari too predominantly (i.e., you won't be surprised to learn there are in fact more than three Minbari in the Rebirth Ceremony in 1x05 "The Parliament of Dreams")
  
• all these three Minbari appear to be Worker Caste (!): they don't wear robes the way Lennier and Delenn do (and other robe-wearing Minbari that we see in ceremonies, c.f. Legacies, anyone who's not a Warrior Caste in that cortege is a Religious Caste member of some sort) - in fact, they wear something that would read to the audience as blue collar, so I suspect that's not a coincidence
  
• blue collar for Minbari appears to be dusty sunflower yellow paired with denim overalls but on occasion is burgundy (...paired with denim overalls)
  
• they never tend to show up in the casino, or the bars. For the most part, background Minbari tend to be walking along the promenade or in well-lit areas. Fits with the cultural worldbuilding.
  
• ... but one of them does seem very courteous and gentlemanly and appears with a (human!) ladyfriend. Good for them!
  
• the same three Minbari crests appear consistently: two crown-like crests and one 3-pointed crest (the real-world interpretation is that likely, those extras kept getting hired and they recycled the makeup and wardrobe for multiple scenes in the same episode; but the in-universe interpretation is, man these three guys sure get around.)
