Mere modesty. They knew their skeletons were likely to be found by another door-opener in 35 generations and wanted to look their best. >>
Just what I would be thinking of, after a wild session of hot Delta passion.
For the record, I have utterly no doubt that Vila and Kerril did the horizontal tango. I was merely using the state of perfect dress as evidence that the producers were reluctant to risk offending any younger viewers or their parents. We never actually saw two adults in a state of undress in B7...even Anna Grant only appeared solo, in her soft-focus 'Avon's eye view' memory.

It can never be doubted. It's, er, canon.

Maybe true. But what that scene does is superbly illustrate how post coital scenes were handled in the series.

Another way of explicitly stating to adults without confusing children. The same techniques could and would have been applied to other characters is neccesary. It wasn't neccesary, so they weren't.
