S3x8 "Messages From Earth"

from Babble On Hosted by The Babble On Four

(00:00:00) Zocalo (00:56:06) Grey Council Shadow ships, EarthGov lies, a very suspicious mission to Jupiter, and the official arrival of Babble On merch, this week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Gus, and Ali break down Babylon 5 Season 3 Episode 8, “Messages from Earth.” It’s an episode full of Shadow War setup, Night Watch anxiety, Sheridan and Delenn being extremely not subtle, and the kind of political escalation that feels a little too real. We discuss Dr. Mary Kirkish, IPX, Psi Corps, Ganymede, the White Star’s very dramatic trip through Jupiter, Zack Allan’s bad armband choices, Garibaldi’s suddenly relevant backstory, Marcus Cole’s whole deal, and whether this episode is less a banger on its own and more the rock that starts the avalanche. Plus: Team Fast and Then Zip, Team Zip Then Fast, Big Tentacle Energy, no HR in space, martial law discourse, symbiosis biology, and the eternal question of whether Marcus wandered in from a fantasy show. 👕 Check out the Babble On merch store: 👉 http://babble-on-shop.fourthwall.com/ 🔗 Watch the reaction to this episode here. ✨Support us on Patreon for early access and full-length reactions: 👉 http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod
