S2E4 "A Distant Star"

from Babble On · host The Babble On Four

This week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Ali, and Gus dive into Babylon 5 Season 2, Episode 4, “A Distant Star.” It’s the episode where hyperspace gets weird, Dr. Franklin becomes the self-appointed Food Police, and Sheridan questions whether he should be running a space station… or just running laps. The crew debates whether D.C. Fontana wrote the emotional arc and JMS sprinkled in the dad jokes, why the edit feels like a Frankenstein’s monster of walk-and-talks, and how the bonfire on the bridge happened despite JMS explicitly saying “no giant flames, please.”Also: the eternal truth that there is still no HR in space. 🔗 Watch the reaction here✨ Support us on Patreon for early access and full-length reactions:👉 http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod
