S2x21 "Comes the Inquisitor"

from Babble On Hosted by The Babble On Four

(00:00:00) Zocalo (01:10:33) Grey Council Jack the Ripper has arrived on Babylon 5, and the Vorlons sent him - this week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Ali, and Gus dive into Babylon 5 Season 2, Episode 21, "Comes the Inquisitor." The crew unpacks one of B5's most philosophically dense hours: ego death, the "Who are you?" vs. "What do you want?" dialectic, and what it means to act in service of something bigger than yourself. With two industry pros at the table, we dig into JMS's psychology-heavy script, the production notes behind the infamous East End/West End flub, Vir's apology scene and what a genuine "I'm sorry" actually costs you, and the Londo vs. Jack the Ripper comparison nobody expected to make - but absolutely had to. 🔗 Watch the reaction to this episode here ✨ Support us on Patreon for early access and full-length reactions: 👉 http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod
