What's with the Babylon 5 shoutout women walking around with their hands in front of their eyes? Hello? We've seen plenty of Time Ladies. Susan would point and laugh; Romana would trip them as they walk by and then lecture them on upholding their dignity.

I'm assuming that they had they eyes covered because they voted against what the president wanted. The president said something about shame and angels. I figure it's more that they didn't want to see what happens than shame, but it could be that as well.
