This what I meant exactly
"...Straczynski purposely went light on the five-year narrative elements during the first season as he felt the audience would not be ready for the full narrative at the time, but he still managed to drop in some scenes that would be critical to the future narrative..."
as for the thematic:

We've met a fair few reasonably intelligent ones, and a fair few stupid ones. And even for some of the seemingly stupid ones, sometimes it's clearly less an issue with intelligence and more an issue with education, and in some cases the results of cultural differences. Plus there's a bit of perceptual skewing where the stupid ones tend to be very... easy to notice. While less stupid ones are easy to overlook.
Take a look at Brakka and his companions, for instance. Brakka's definitely smart, even if he's on the evil side. Of his companions, there's one with red eyes, one with green, one with blue, one with yellow (nice that they each have different colored eyes to make it easy to refer to them). The red-eyed one probably sticks in your mind because he's really, really dumb. The green-eyed one doesn't talk but going off facial expressions you can see he's pretty well able to keep up with the chaotic situation between Kass and Brakka. The yellow-eyed one seems pretty dumb, though much less so than red-eyes, and he does have his moments. The blue-eyed one seems reasonably alert and eloquent, made a point of keeping watch, alerting the crew of problems, all that, without any prompting.
I'm sorta using these as an example because without paying attention to individuals, they tend to get lumped together as "big group of dumb yinglets", but half of them seem reasonably on-the-ball, and that's even among Yinglets who are outsiders to the enclave, with substantially more drastic mutations than usual, which you might expect to reduce that rate further.
I was looking up stuff to see if I could find more evidence one way or another, and I found this:

Vizlet sums up my own opinion pretty well here.

Vizlet sums up my own opinion pretty well here.
Beizel, during his introduction, expressed unhappiness with the way the enclave was being run. Unlike most of the other patriarchs, he seems intelligent and ambitious, so he may not be happy being second fiddle.
We also know that Trademaster Salia knows more about certain aspects of what is going on in the enclave than Vizlet does. Since keeping Vizlet informed is Beizel's primary job, which suggests he may be keeping things from her.

Except Beizel specifically inform Vizlet that it was Brakka, and that Brakka had been running from the Scouts. Narklet, however, expressed displeasure that Lopin didn't bring "that thing" to him instead of selling/misplacing it. Beizel seems like the most trusted Patriarch, and Vizlet has never trusted Narklet.
Given Beizel's connections, maybe he is up to something, but if Brakka was working for him, he wouldn't have been scared of the scouts that would have taken him directly to Beizel.

B seems to be one of the more complicated ones and Viz situation with running the enclave is fairly complicated. She wants to bring about certain changes (which B may or may not agree with) but at the same time, she can't go to far to fast as there are people above her who form the sounds of it, could replace her if she gets out of line. So she has to seam to run things traditionally whihc is what B may not like. Or some of his problems with the way things are run may not be with Viz specifically, but with some of the others. There is a fair amount of poloticks involved with running th enclave it seams.
People might not think a Yinglet would make a good assassin but that is one of the many reasons why they can be so effective as one, compared to the other species they are easily disregarded as a threat until they've already shanked clean through you, also with their small size they can slip into places that would be hard for even a child to get through, imagine trying to avoid an assassin who could literally hide in a small-medium basket easily.
Heh. Even when they're on opposing sides, sometimes it seems like the spec ops and spies have a certain honor among them. And a unique sense of humor. XD
Beizel is pretty much my favorite now. X3 I love me some stealthy boys. Always so much fun when the enemy never even knew you were there...

As an astronomy student, I like how you did NOT show the Veil in this strip.
Even something as spectacular as the Veil is not visible from every angle at every hour.
(I once saw a fanfic comic with the two moons in the same constellation. One was crescent, the other full. I almost popped my teeth out!).

Beizel, I imagine, is the one yinglet you don't ever, ever want to mess with. A yinglet spymaster and assassin is a terrifying idea, because they can get into a ton of places a human can't. Can attack lightning fast from any angle and cut your throat before you know what landed on you. Or just shoot you in the back of the head from a crack you didn't even notice.
I would not want to be the yinglet Vizlet tells Beizel to eliminate. Or Viracroix.
