Guys, just a quick note to say thanks for all the work you put into the podcast. I’ve been listening for several months now and have gotten all the old episodes as well. I recently began watching Babylon 5 again, and I see so much more in the episodes when I watch them in conjunction with the podcast. Again, thanks!
Well, this is THE episode that sucked me into B5. I think i caught the first one S1E1 and thought “whatever, not as good as trek”. Recall that this was the early 90s and *all* we had was TNG.
I happened to catch this ep, at the Brad Dourif monologues and thought, “great, more Deanna Troy psychobable”. But then, no, real dialogue with *soul* and meaning.
Wow.
It’s a roller coaster from here in as the arc goes full tilt until the last ep of S4.
Only when the dvds came out did I start (reluctantly) from S1, and you know the first thing Sinclair talks about is the Battle of the Line and these goosebumps go up on the back of your neck.
This kind of story where you know the ending and then watch how they got there is strangely very watchable.
TNG on the other hand has not stood up at all well. Sure there are the odd pearls, but overall it’s had it’s day and that was in the 90s. B5 absolutely kicks Trek’s butt.
