S1E4 - Virtual Reality Mind Games

Episode(s) Discussed: S1E7 The War Prayer S1E8 And the Sky Full of Stars

4 years ago

In which we voice the praises of D.C. Fontana, a true sci-fi TV writing legend, and Jude and Ana definitely don’t plot Justen’s demise. “The War Prayer” begins the B5 tradition of awful exes, plus Vir is better over email and Delenn gives off strong distinguished queer vibes. “And The Sky Full of Stars” prompts Justen to ask if Sinclair is a Minbari plant, Ana to question why they’re using VR to go into someone’s mind when there’s perfectly good telepaths right there, and Jude to marvel at Doctor Franklin not being awful.
