Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Hello, and welcome to who are you?
Speaker:We're a Babybel on five watch cast by a couple of strangers.
Speaker:Now, friends who are getting to know each other over one of their favorite
Speaker:shows from their childhood Babylon five.
Speaker:I'm Laura.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: And I'm sure
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: And today we have something different.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, we're gonna do some fewer male.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: It's mail bag time.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Some of these letters came in
Speaker:before the season to recap.
Speaker:And some of it is people who have found our podcast and are catching up.
Speaker:So most of these are actually about old episodes of ours.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Okay.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: But going back to season one,
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Okay.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: It's most of the stuff I have.
Speaker:So we'll go ahead and get into Uh, we have a letter from John.
Speaker:About our episode believers, our episode, aren't believers that in the
Speaker:episode of Babylon five believers,
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I'm dying to know.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: John says, thanks for a
Speaker:perspective on the episode.
Speaker:I'd never heard before.
Speaker:Expanding on the interpretation that it's good odds.
Speaker:The parents were right.
Speaker:We know that souls exist in the Babylon five universe.
Speaker:Thanks to soul hunter.
Speaker:We know souls can be contained and escape from a container as a vapor like
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: When Franklin cuts the child,
Speaker:we see vapor escape along with a similar sound of the one.
Speaker:When he Dylan frees the souls.
Speaker:Even if you don't accept that interpretation.
Speaker:We can assume that Franklin doesn't know everything about the on teen.
Speaker:It could be part of the neurological apparatus that creates
Speaker:consciousness, involves the platter.
Speaker:And that kid is now a zombie.
Speaker:Let's see, loved the that's some colonizer shit from Joe fair,
Speaker:enjoying the show a lot, John.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, that takes me back.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: yeah.
Speaker:A hundred percent.
Speaker:Franklin did not know everything about the on team.
Speaker:That was the main problem is that he refused to do the research.
Speaker:He would've known before he even brought it up.
Speaker:If he had just.
Speaker:Read the fucking file.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, that's.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: of just being an arrogant jackass.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I think that's Franklin's main.
Speaker:flaw in.
Speaker:These early episodes of his right.
Speaker:That he feels like he knows everything.
Speaker:It's his problem these aliens?
Speaker:It's his problem with his dad as he feels morally superior to his dad a little It's
Speaker:his Problem with ladies sometimes like,
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, I think
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: And honestly it's his addiction is
Speaker:also very much stemmed from that.
Speaker:It's not a problem because I would know if it was a problem.
Speaker:It's my job to know it's when it's a problem and diagnose it and others.
Speaker:So I obviously will know when it's a problem.
Speaker:And it's not a problem because I say so.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, that is a good point.
Speaker:And that brings it up to current episodes.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, it's a thorough
Speaker:line for his character.
Speaker:Throughout the show really?
Speaker:It really is for a long time.
Speaker:I think.
Speaker:After the without too much spoilers after the addiction storyline.
Speaker:Comes to a
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, we're gonna have
Speaker:some humble pie introduced.
Speaker:I think.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: All right.
Speaker:Well, thanks for your letter, John.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: We've got a, another little
Speaker:quick one here from Patrick.
Speaker:Patrick asks.
Speaker:So if someone, just any random person, not necessarily me, but someone wanted
Speaker:to represent the hosts of the show with a fictional character in meme
Speaker:format for no particular reason.
Speaker:Who would you prefer to be stand-ins for the house?
Speaker:Laura I'm thinking perhaps Kermit for Laura.
Speaker:And Imperial Komisar fridge fare.
Speaker:But that's just because I was looking at those sorts of names.
Speaker:Uh, I assume we're talking about Kermit sipping tea for Laura here.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Uh, yeah.
Speaker:I was like, there's a couple of Kermit, right.
Speaker:There's also like dark Kermit where.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:it's got the hood on.
Speaker:I do like Kermit sipping tea.
Speaker:That's that would be very flattering.
Speaker:I would feel very honored to be that Kermit.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Imperial commissar I know is 40 K and I know that I play 40 K but I'm not familiar
Speaker:with the meme, but I'm probably just old.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: uh,
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: So I will defer to the judgment
Speaker:of our audience and the meme making community in our discord.
Speaker:I tr I trust you to uh, use appropriate memes.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I would have to Google that Imperial com.
Speaker:Sorry, I don't recognize that off the top of my head.
Speaker:It's probably one of
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: the image.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: when
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Like I have the image in my head.
Speaker:I just don't know what the like joke with that particular meme is.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Interesting.
Speaker:Interesting.
Speaker:I, I would be most honored by whatever our meme community came up with.
Speaker:I think that's adorable.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Is it.
Speaker:It's deeply concerned.
Speaker:Commissar
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: You wanna pop that over to me?
Speaker:Can you send that to me in discord?
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, I sure can.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Oh, okay.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: That's that's, that's kind of close.
Speaker:He's got the big bushy eyebrows.
Speaker:His nose is of a similar profile.
Speaker:Mine's got a little.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I've seen you do this with your hands
Speaker:when we are talking about serious stuff.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: That's I do do the thing
Speaker:I to do that thing.
Speaker:That's fair.
Speaker:That is a mannerism of
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I'll have to post like a Kermit
Speaker:and this on our Facebook, so people know what we're talking about.
Speaker:Make myself a note to do that for this episode.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: All right.

Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Okay.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Symbolic Godzilla asks.
Speaker:Now that as of season two review, you are both over a level 50 podcast hosts
Speaker:with a year of continuous podcast adventures and a power level, over 10,000.
Speaker:What do you cross class into?
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: I, well, I think it's safe to say
Speaker:I cross class into podcasting.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: I think I am a chaotic good three,
Speaker:five pallet in a freedom personally.
Speaker:That is, that is the vibe that I try to maintain in my life.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: the pallet in of freedom
Speaker:is a Paladin of an ideal.
Speaker:Compared to a.
Speaker:Re deity of some variety.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Okay.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: And so the pellet and of
Speaker:freedom has dedicated themselves to exactly that freedom.
Speaker:Which is something I feel.
Speaker:Very strongly about I don't think that's a surprise for anyone.
Speaker:Who's heard me go on one of my political rants.
Speaker:I feel like that's all pretty well aligned.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Or if you had happened to be
Speaker:like listening to us before we started recording this episode?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:You know, it's, it's a, freedom's a big deal.
Speaker:That's why I like things like universal healthcare because.
Speaker:The freedom to.
Speaker:The ability to pursue the use and enjoyment of your freedom.
Speaker:Is just as important as having
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:That's the life, Liberty and pursuit of happiness, right.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: For sure.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Well, I think.
Speaker:For me, podcasting was a bit of a cross class, right.
Speaker:This was the new adventure.
Speaker:But.
Speaker:I'm really thinking about this for my next year.
Speaker:Like there were, at that time of the year.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:I don't remember what day this comes out, but that we're all thinking about

Speaker:Let's see.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:This episode comes out December 7th.

Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I don't, I don't know
Speaker:what I'm gonna do yet.
Speaker:I I like your um, alignment that you gave yourself as chaotic.
Speaker:Good.
Speaker:I, gosh, I'm probably stuck at lawful good.
Speaker:I just can't help myself.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Lawful good is an important alignment.
Speaker:I just think the laws are stupid.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I aspire to chaos, but
Speaker:I am not able to do it.
Speaker:It's just against who I am my nature, I guess.
Speaker:But.
Speaker:Yeah, I don't, I don't know what I'm gonna cross class into next, but I'm definitely
Speaker:gonna be thinking about it and it's gonna be on my little like mental post-it board.
Speaker:What's your cross class?
Speaker:What are you doing?
Speaker:So, thanks for giving me something to Think about.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: It's.
Speaker:I mean, it's a good way of thinking about it.
Speaker:Addressing it that way as to like things that I'm looking forward to
Speaker:doing or things that I want to be Yeah.
Speaker:I mean, I've got, I've got a December to do list.
Speaker:I I spent four hours today.
Speaker:Setting up my wood shop in my garage.
Speaker:I haven't had my wood shop since I moved.
Speaker:I've had a couple of tools out here and there, but I, it has not
Speaker:been organized or set up or well
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: so I installed a ton of drop lighting in
Speaker:my garage today in the wood shop area.
Speaker:And I cleaned up about half the garage, got all tools on tables and stuff.
Speaker:And.
Speaker:Got my nails and screws, all organized for future.
Speaker:Use that kind of
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: So probably probably
Speaker:some more woodworking.
Speaker:I got a couple.
Speaker:Cutting boards.
Speaker:I want to make, I've seen some cool designs.
Speaker:I need to go buy some scrap wood.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:That'll be fun.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: All right.
Speaker:Well, we have one more letter.
Speaker:This letter comes from Matt.
Speaker:Lauren fair.
Speaker:So you folks are the only ones who I know, who appreciate the joke.
Speaker:I didn't quite explain the context.
Speaker:Well enough to my wife, who hasn't seen the show.
Speaker:But during an outing, she had asked me to put her sunglasses in
Speaker:one of my several pockets because she didn't bring her purse.
Speaker:She said that men's clothing has enough pockets to constitute a purse.
Speaker:And our, I applied that where she carries her purse on her shoulder.
Speaker:I carry my purse in my pants and jacket.
Speaker:It was a bit of a bad bit moment.
Speaker:Maybe I just don't have as much charisma as Jakarta.
Speaker:And Talan.
Speaker:Anyway, I continue to love the show.
Speaker:I had to share my chuckles and thought others might also get a kick out of them.
Speaker:Matt.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I'm always down to hear a joke.
Speaker:listeners, if you wanna email your, your jokes and your memes
Speaker:too, If you're not in the discord.
Speaker:Do it.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Shoot us an email with those jokes and memes.
Speaker:Also a moment of outrage for the lack of pockets on women's clothing.
Speaker:I don't understand.
Speaker:I don't understand.
Speaker:I don't even like, even with the, some of the pockets I've seen on women's clothing.
Speaker:Is just a joke like, oh, you got a pocket you can Three nickels in there and
Speaker:it's all like what about a cell phone?
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah,
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Where is the utility?
Speaker:Like it drives me insane.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Well, and think about like you,
Speaker:you dudes that have your purse within your pants and jacket.
Speaker:You can distribute that weight of whatever you're carrying
Speaker:pretty evenly over your body.
Speaker:A purse, unless you're doing a cross body purse is hanging from one shoulder,
Speaker:messing up your posture in your alignment.
Speaker:It's horrible.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: It's terrible and
Speaker:completely unfair to And.
Speaker:It literally drives me bonkers.
Speaker:Like if I were to.
Speaker:Be a more skilled.
Speaker:Seems to Taylor Seamster, whatever the
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Sure.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: term there is.
Speaker:And also not have to worry about like having a day job.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: I feel like out of spite, I would
Speaker:spend my time designing functional utilitarian women's clothing.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I would love that.
Speaker:I would love that.
Speaker:Although I, you know, I have seen some dudes who have some pretty
Speaker:gnarly, thick wallets that they keep in their pants and y'all are
Speaker:also throwing off your alignment.
Speaker:Every time you sit down, my friends.
Speaker:So be careful if your wallet's super thick, maybe move that
Speaker:baby to the front pocket.
Speaker:When you sit down, just look it out for you guys.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: I don't understand the use of back pockets
Speaker:for anything besides receipts and trash.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: If I would not be willing to put
Speaker:it on a chair and then sit on it.
Speaker:It is not going in my back pocket.
Speaker:I don't understand the logic.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: there are many people who I
Speaker:know are doing it the other way.
Speaker:It's so weird.
Speaker:So weird.
Speaker:All
Speaker:right, well that's great.
Speaker:Mail bag time.
Speaker:Are you ready to get into an
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: We have.

Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Oh, really what happened to it?
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: So back in season two was the
Speaker:original plan to do this episode.
Speaker:Where it was going to be some of the monks coming to the station before.
Speaker:The big group of monks that arrive in season three to kind
Speaker:of like establish that they were going to be showing up later.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Okay, set the set the tone.
Speaker:Sure.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, it's going to be like
Speaker:an early season, two episode.
Speaker:But after the quality of mercy EHRs
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: in season one, someone on use
Speaker:net was all like, wait, this is how they get rid of criminals.
Speaker:Wouldn't it be crazy if there was like someone on the station who was a mind
Speaker:wipe criminal and just had no idea.
Speaker:And then like a Taliban brought out those memories or something
Speaker:and made them go crazy.
Speaker:What a crazy episode of Babylon five that would be in JMS is

Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: So he postpones the episode.
Speaker:Over the course of the next year.
Speaker:Starts talking to this person who had suggested this plot on use net
Speaker:flies out, meets with them in person, apparently gets them to sign paperwork.
Speaker:Like a nondisclosure or whatever, in an affidavit of some variety.
Speaker:That's of the lines of, I won't Sue John Michael Lynskey or Babylon five and all
Speaker:this shit for doing the episode that I in public suggested that they do beforehand.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Uh, This explains a lot
Speaker:about Jay Michael's Twitter.

Speaker:Brings it on home.
Speaker:The paperwork clears the lawyers and the episode gets the okay for season three.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: That's a lot of work.

Speaker:had an experience.
Speaker:Well, I'm glad that it did get made.
Speaker:Even if it took all that work.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:I mean, I think it was worth it.

Speaker:His originally.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, well, I mean, It ideas
Speaker:can exist in multiple places.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: For
Speaker:sure.

Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: This is Brad dura.
Speaker:Who is.
Speaker:Very famously typecast.
Speaker:I feel like as a serial killer in the
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: that's a very creepy person, at least.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:So I didn't find much about him guest starring on the youth net.
Speaker:But in the season guide.
Speaker:There was a ton of stuff from multiple of the series regulars
Speaker:who were just like bread.
Speaker:Turf is a master of his craft.
Speaker:Whenever you're acting with him, it elevates you.
Speaker:It's like when you're playing in a jazz band and there are musicians
Speaker:around you who are so skilled that they elevate the entire group.
Speaker:That is what it is like acting with bread, dearth.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Uh, that's very nice, very complimentary.
Speaker:I have to say, I think.
Speaker:You know of the few things I've seen Brad din, I'm not gonna Say that I've seen a
Speaker:lot of his work cuz I probably haven't, but this is probably like the nicest role.
Speaker:When you think about it.

Speaker:The character in the past.
Speaker:We find out, did some horrific things.
Speaker:But this person doesn't seem to be the same person.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Well, he's not.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: yeah, so this is actually a very.
Speaker:Nice role.
Speaker:And you feel a lot of empathy for this character?
Speaker:I think most people do anyway.
Speaker:But anyway, so.
Speaker:Sheridan's.
Speaker:Big dogging Theo.
Speaker:He says that he's got him trapped.
Speaker:But Theo is very confident and speaks on his faith.
Speaker:And whoops, checkmate.

Speaker:ambassador Kosh is coming back.
Speaker:He's been out.
Speaker:And he wants to meet her in the mysterious bay 13.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:When we see the ship dock Kosh walks out from behind Ivanova.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:.He's apparently just chilling in the bay.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: he's he was, he wasn't on the ship.
Speaker:They just didn't know he wasn't on the station.
Speaker:Apparently.
Speaker:The ship was gone.
Speaker:They thought he was on it.
Speaker:He wasn't.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: But outlooks Lita who is
Speaker:returned to Babylon five.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, she's back.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Liter recalls her journey
Speaker:to the Varroa on Homeworld.
Speaker:And kind of explains her role as cautious aids slash diplomatic attached.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:She basically just camped outside to war lawn space until they had to pick her up.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, we hear a harrowing story
Speaker:about how terrible they treated her.
Speaker:Um, that is not
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: They let her sit out in this pod for days.
Speaker:I think she says five days, In a life pod that they, they basically left her there.
Speaker:with her air running out.
Speaker:She's sending signals like actual ship signals telepathic signals.
Speaker:And finally, they, they picked her up and She's not allowed to talk about
Speaker:what she saw on the war on home world.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: After this, we see brother Edward
Speaker:negotiating, some work for the monks and they black rose falls out of his bag.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:,Nothing sinister about a black rose ever.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Nope.
Speaker:Completely normal flour.
Speaker:Garibaldi is watching the news as Dylan comes in and we see
Speaker:the results of a murder trial.
Speaker:Someone is sentenced to death of personality.
Speaker:What a crazy random happenstance that we have this note in
Speaker:this episode at this time.
Speaker:Just in time for delenda ask.
Speaker:Hey, what is that depth of personality?
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: I wonder if this'll be important later.
Speaker:Can you explain this to me?
Speaker:Garibaldi?
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Gar Baldi is very.
Speaker:I I can't tell if he, I think he
Speaker:thinks
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: shouted a cab at the TV.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, he's he doesn't think
Speaker:this is enough justice.
Speaker:It's the implication.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:He thinks that.
Speaker:Killing the person's mind.
Speaker:Isn't enough.
Speaker:We've got to kill their body too.
Speaker:I guess, maybe.
Speaker:He wants the electric chair back.
Speaker:Doesn't he?
Speaker:Didn't he say that something about the electric chair specifically,
Speaker:which I believe at, at this time in history, we'd already figured
Speaker:out that that was kind of inhumane.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Well, he always talked about spacing.
Speaker:All of the lurkers in down below.
Speaker:So Not exactly a beacon of compassion.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: No.
Speaker:No, he's very black and white.
Speaker:Isn't he?
Speaker:And, he makes comments about.
Speaker:He wants an eye for an eye.
Speaker:And he wants the Harabi justice.
Speaker:Isn't that?
Speaker:Where that came.
Speaker:They teach us in history anyway, that it came from the
Speaker:code of
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Robbie's code.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Whether or not it actually came from there.
Speaker:I'm not gonna espouse on that, but I remember that's what I was taught.
Speaker:It's not necessarily right.
Speaker:And comments that you would leave all of society, toothless and blind then?
Speaker:Huh?
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, that's some Gandhi.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:He misses the point entirely though.
Speaker:He, uh, says, but only the bad people ignoring the fact that
Speaker:we're all bad people sometimes.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Dr.
Speaker:Franklin uh, is doing the work up on Lita and notes that she
Speaker:is now in perfect health, even better than she was before she
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:. .Not suspicious
Speaker:at all.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: As a Durham gets back to his quarters to
Speaker:find death walks among you on the wall.
Speaker:Which is not the boondock saints poster.
Speaker:He had put up in his dorm room before he had left.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I, I wonder what kind of
Speaker:artwork these monks would get to have in their cells, right.
Speaker:Shouldn't they have like some icons or.
Speaker:some something religious industry.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:He doesn't, he doesn't get anything
Speaker:though,
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: I did find it interesting
Speaker:that he has his own room.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: yeah.
Speaker:Isn't that
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: these monks are like famously
Speaker:very poor and constantly looking for work to pay for their rooms.
Speaker:I figured they'd be bunking up.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: And I think that's a thing in
Speaker:monastic life often is that, you know, you're sharing spaces constantly.
Speaker:And.
Speaker:Yeah, but maybe you get your own cells, I guess they call 'em, But.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Well, okay.
Speaker:But he's got a sinister message on his wall and he is very upset.
Speaker:He brings Garabaldi back going straight to Garabaldi, not
Speaker:wanting to freak anyone else out.
Speaker:But the message is gone it's just disappeared.
Speaker:It's sort of like Sheridan's monster that he attacked.
Speaker:It just disappeared back in season two.
Speaker:So Garabaldi is a a nice dude and promises to look into it.
Speaker:cuz he's dealt with these kind of people before.
Speaker:And they get him somewhere else to go in the meantime.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Londo runs into Lita and basically
Speaker:does his best Dzhokhar impression from the pilot minus the sex.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Right.
Speaker:This is a big flip flop, Isn't it.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Well, it's here to show us how much lead has changed.
Speaker:Is what I feel, what this real, the scene is really there for,
Speaker:because it is very similar to that.
Speaker:Like, Hey, I'm going to push you around for something that I want
Speaker:because your just some random telepath and I'm an important ambassador.
Speaker:And I'm going to be shitty about it.
Speaker:I'm going to be real shitty about it.
Speaker:And in the pilot, Lido was like upset, but not, I will burn you to the fucking
Speaker:ground, which is how she tells Alondo.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:She's had enough, especially when he trots out his well, I couldn't
Speaker:report you to Cycore threat.
Speaker:That he knows that they want her back.
Speaker:And She's not having any of it.
Speaker:She's gonna give him nightmares.
Speaker:You know what you would think that lawn would've learned some
Speaker:lesson from the techno age episode?
Speaker:on this.
Speaker:About
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Oh, I know hasn't learned
Speaker:any lessons recently.
Speaker:That's kind of his emo at the moment.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, that's lawn's whole deal.
Speaker:Isn't
Speaker:it?
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Dylan meets with brother Edward
Speaker:to interview them about religion.
Speaker:Lanier explains that the mean Bari believed that the soul is the puppet.
Speaker:One makes with the shadow in the flashlight at the slumber party.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:it's just a reflection of something else.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: So I guess a reflection of the divine.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, we were all part of the universe broken apart, trying to understand itself.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Which is cool.
Speaker:That sounds, that sounds fun.
Speaker:That sounds like you want to give everyone
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:sounds very Carl Sagan.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Scott Adams wrote a book about that
Speaker:in the early nineties, actually.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Really?
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah about Religion.
Speaker:Uh, uh, We're all just part of God's consciousness broken apart,
Speaker:and we're God trying to understand.
Speaker:Himself.
Speaker:And the whole thing.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:I don't know if that reconciles with, with uh, Scott Adams
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Scott album's history.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Scott Adams, I don't, this was, this would have been in like the
Speaker:late nineties, maybe early 2000.
Speaker:The book is called God's debris.
Speaker:I remember reading it when I was young.
Speaker:And thought Delbert was funny, but that was before my brain was fully developed.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:He can't really hold it against me.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I think maybe Dilbert was
Speaker:funny back then maybe.
Speaker:On occasion.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: nineties.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Quite possibly.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I don't know about now.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: That definitely not recently any Dilbert
Speaker:I've seen in the last long time was not funny, but it's done now anyways, so.
Speaker:Dylan asks Edward about Christianity and ask for the
Speaker:moment that is the emotional core.
Speaker:Of the belief.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Good question.
Speaker:Many people have many different answers to this, but his, I
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, he talks about Christ than the night before crucifixion.
Speaker:And having the courage to stay and knowing what was waiting
Speaker:and making the active choice.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Not to reject the cup.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And he makes it personal because he tells her that he's not sure.
Speaker:That if he would've been that person.
Speaker:Which, you know, Christ was supposed to be.
Speaker:Deity, if you, depending on which.
Speaker:Christian track you follow he's like part of the three or, know, It's all theology.
Speaker:It's all hard for me to understand.
Speaker:But he's taken it to a personal lesson and and he wonders if he could
Speaker:have been that kind of person, if he was put in that sort of situation.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: So on his way out of their quarters,
Speaker:brother, Edward ass about Valan and Dulla near becomes a 11 year old, who is just
Speaker:to ask about his favorite video game.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yes.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: He's very excited to talk about failing.
Speaker:And notes.
Speaker:We get the line the men Bari, not born of minbar.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:,That's gonna
Speaker:be important.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: It is important.
Speaker:I found an interesting use net note here.
Speaker:About what the prevailing theory Availon was at this time, or at the very least a
Speaker:common Was that veiling was a viral on.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Oh, I mean, I could see that
Speaker:being
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: the season two finale.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:We see, we see him as a angel thing.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:And she never put a name on that?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Like the others said, we saw Dral, and Jaar saw Nan by name.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: I don't remember,
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: don't, I don't think she put a name on it.
Speaker:I don't think she said I saw vain or I saw.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Oh, she definitely didn't say I saw Valan.
Speaker:But you know, the seed that Sorry, not born of memoir in cosh.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: is interesting and that is something
Speaker:that I had never considered.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Me
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: was just something.
Speaker:That I'd never thought about before, but that's in very interesting thought.
Speaker:And I thought it was cool and it made me think about it a bit.
Speaker:So I figured I'd throw it out here.
Speaker:No spoilers.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: that line.
Speaker:Just.
Speaker:Went over my head when I was a kid.
Speaker:Like, you know how adults, adults say weird things sometimes.
Speaker:Then you just kind of.
Speaker:Definitely for me, it went there and it wasn't until later
Speaker:in the series that I got it.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, and I mean, I only
Speaker:watched Babylon five on TNT.
Speaker:So when they picked it up and they moved it over and it was on like every day.
Speaker:So I was shotgun in this show as a kid, I was, it was as close as you could get
Speaker:to binge watching pre streaming is like one or two episodes a day, every day,
Speaker:leading up to the premier of season five.
Speaker:And I was making that.
Speaker:Almost every day.
Speaker:I did actually find out on my most recent watch through two years ago now.
Speaker:Before right before we started this pod or a year and a half ago.
Speaker:I actually missed a very crucial episode.
Speaker:Of the show that I only saw for the first time.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: On
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: In the last yeah.
Speaker:And in the 2020s.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: That's crazy.
Speaker:Yeah, So brother Edward leaves, delin and linear and heads back to
Speaker:brown sector where the monks live.
Speaker:And he bumps into a sonari Kind of shoulders into him accidentally.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: The make a real point
Speaker:of showing us the sky.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: They do like, it's one of
Speaker:those moments that in a show you're like this isn't just a.
Speaker:This is important.
Speaker:And immediately afterwards, he starts to hear like sounds of scuffle.
Speaker:Someone very upset.
Speaker:And he sees the message.
Speaker:Again, he sees that death walks among you message.
Speaker:Appearing to be written in blood on just like a, a hallway.
Speaker:then he starts to see things.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, we get a very new,
Speaker:large kind of dream sequence.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Almost.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: And he's got a a dead
Speaker:woman That he turns over.
Speaker:He like stumbles into this body and she's got that black rose in her mouth.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: We see him holding a knife,
Speaker:a pruning, a black rose.
Speaker:As well.
Speaker:Edward and Theo talk.
Speaker:And then when Theo leaves Edward ass bang for some search results and Bing's all
Speaker:like, I don't know, Microsoft owns me.
Speaker:It's going to take you four hours.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:I laughed at this part.
Speaker:I was like, this is a pretty quick Google, but okay.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Right.
Speaker:Like I could Google this very quickly, but that's fine for hours.
Speaker:It
Speaker:is.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: we'll wait.
Speaker:Brother Theo comes to.
Speaker:To check on him.
Speaker:And you can tell brother Theo.
Speaker:Has some suspicions.
Speaker:here.
Speaker:He's he.
Speaker:It seems to me that he didn't know.
Speaker:And I was surprised that he didn't know.
Speaker:To me, it would make more sense for them to.
Speaker:Be told.
Speaker:But,
Speaker:you know, who knows?
Speaker:But he feels like.
Speaker:This person could be one of these dead personalities.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, he's just, he's not sure.
Speaker:And they say they run background checks when you apply for the job, but they
Speaker:don't actually run the background checks.
Speaker:They just want you to be able to agree to one.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:This, This monastery is, you know, not uh, super secret location.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: It's a nonprofit.
Speaker:They don't have the funds to just run background checks on every applicant.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:I
Speaker:get it.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Garibaldi finds Edward and tells
Speaker:him that the blood wasn't And he
Speaker:goes, why would a guilty conscious show up on a lab report?
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: That's a good line.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: It is.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: He mentions that he dropped his bag.
Speaker:in the hallway and it had it had the recordings in it.
Speaker:That he was making with Dylan and Lan, and So he needs that back.
Speaker:And Garabaldi says, you know, he'll, he'll try to get it back.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Meanwhile, Bing finally gets
Speaker:back to brother Edward and it's like, yo, you're a serial killer.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm.
Speaker:Yeah, this seems like a big flaw in the program.
Speaker:Doesn't
Speaker:it?
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Like it would know who was asking.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It seems like.
Speaker:that The monks or at least, you know, like brother Theo should have been informed.
Speaker:So he could.
Speaker:Kind of guide brother Edward away from Google.
Speaker:Or something It it's a big connected world out there and all
Speaker:of these dead personalities could.
Speaker:Very easily.
Speaker:Find out who they were.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: You would think?
Speaker:Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:So he was, he was Charles
Speaker:Dexter apparently.
Speaker:And that was The black rose was his calling card.
Speaker:We were told he's a serial killer.
Speaker:Do we, they tell us how many.
Speaker:Victims he had or types of victims.
Speaker:I don't
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Uh, a bunch and I think
Speaker:he only killed women.
Speaker:Is the implication of align later in the episode.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: It's very parallel with
Speaker:our Jack the ripper story.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yes.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:I'm actually, Beth walked in and watched a little bit of this episode
Speaker:was like, oh, is he Jack the ripper?
Speaker:Is this that episode?
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I
Speaker:mean, good guess
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: It's interesting.
Speaker:The parallels in that.
Speaker:Because of what the Vons did with Jack the ripper versus what we as
Speaker:humans did with Charles Dexter.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Interesting.
Speaker:so
Speaker:garabaldi and Sheridan.
Speaker:Have also found out That brother Edward is Charles Dexter.
Speaker:The whole story about how he gets there is kind of strange.
Speaker:It's not like he was placed by an agency.
Speaker:It sounds
Speaker:like.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:shortly after his mind wipe, he was put in like a halfway house thing or something.
Speaker:It was just kind of like transitioned to having a new personality.
Speaker:It sounded like.
Speaker:And then that place burned down.
Speaker:And he was presumed dead and somehow made it out and ended up at this monastery.
Speaker:And for me, This is the thing that doesn't make sense.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: this is one part that doesn't work to me.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Because if everyone thought.
Speaker:Even like if the official records were all, like this person was
Speaker:placed into witness protection and then burned down and died.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: What are all the families doing?
Speaker:Hunting this guy?
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Right, right.
Speaker:Uh, is the implication that the families burned the halfways
Speaker:house down, that they figured out where he was and they burned it
Speaker:down and
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: I did not think of that.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: But how did they, how did they
Speaker:find out he's still alive?
Speaker:I don't know that part.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, maybe they did it from a distance
Speaker:and watched them escape or something.
Speaker:I
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, and then kept pursuing him.
Speaker:It is a weird logical leap.
Speaker:I liked my, like my initial understanding of this episode was that he had been
Speaker:placed with the monks by the agency.
Speaker:or, you know, whatever agency does this and that, that's how he
Speaker:got traced eventually and found.
Speaker:And.
Speaker:I, I don't know.
Speaker:I guess I like the, the idea of the agency.
Speaker:Going out there and finding.
Speaker:Work, you know, they're supposed to be finding work and a monastery
Speaker:is a place where, you know, they're accepting all comers and they can work.
Speaker:And.
Speaker:I liked the idea of them just placing people in this.
Speaker:in these different monasteries and different organizations and stuff.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: No, that totally made sense to me.
Speaker:This is the thing that ruined that's the only bad thing I have
Speaker:to say about this episode to say something that was in my rating.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I I liked the way I remembered it a little
Speaker:bit better than the way it actually was.
Speaker:Moving
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Anyways Edward locks
Speaker:himself up, basically.
Speaker:And Theo finds him, but can't physically reach him.
Speaker:And he's struggling with reconciling his past and his present.
Speaker:How can he repent for what he doesn't know he did?
Speaker:How can this be more humane than the death penalty?
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: It's a very good question.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:I mean, this shows making a serial killer, be a very sympathetic character.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Which is weird.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: It's a weird place to be because, you
Speaker:know, we, we know that he did these horrible things, but he didn't know.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: he thought that he
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: he's a
Speaker:different person.
Speaker:He's quite literally a different person.
Speaker:It's a real ship of Theseus you know, like if you've completely erased
Speaker:someone's personality and their memories and given them an entire new life.
Speaker:You know, they are a different person.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: He is a very different
Speaker:person because his old self.
Speaker:Wouldn't have felt remorse.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Right.
Speaker:So they basically wiped out whatever it was in that personality that
Speaker:didn't feel remorse and gave it a conscience and gave it remorse.
Speaker:And.
Speaker:it's, It's the same physical form, right?
Speaker:I mean, he's still all the same atoms organs and blood vessels.
Speaker:But he is not the same person.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: And the the people that are pursuing him,
Speaker:they really want justice on his body.
Speaker:Not seeing that.
Speaker:Justice was already done with that mind like that mind is gone.
Speaker:That mind is no longer in the world.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: But they don't care.
Speaker:Justice.
Speaker:Wasn't complete.
Speaker:Uh, Before that we do get a little bit about Garibaldi running
Speaker:in and finding Edwards bag.
Speaker:And some of the stuff he overheard was piped in through the PA.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, it wasn't in his head.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Someone is actively doing this to him.
Speaker:Which is what we find out in the next scene, as the families of his victims
Speaker:are surrounding Has hooded figures.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: And uh, he knows what's
Speaker:waiting for him at this point.
Speaker:And he waits.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:He waits in his own
Speaker:garden.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yup.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Okay.
Speaker:So one of the things they figured out when they found the bag was that.
Speaker:Something is being done to torture him.
Speaker:And they know that the only thing that can break a mind wipe is a telepath.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:I think brother Edward had mentioned he bumped into a sonari.
Speaker:So immediately they're like, oh, Sonari, telepath.
Speaker:And they start looking for this person.
Speaker:They find a sonari.
Speaker:telepath.
Speaker:He's kind of an asshole.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: He's more than kind of an asshole.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:I didn't know that other racist telepaths just walked around.
Speaker:on the station.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: It depends on their society's
Speaker:rules for their telepaths.
Speaker:We've seen Telepaths too.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Have we seen him just on the station yet.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker:Yeah, there's a little bit about them where they're just called to service and.
Speaker:The Len, I think when, and that episode with the runaway telepath, I thought
Speaker:DLN reduced her to a memory telepath.
Speaker:And
Speaker:that
Speaker:episode.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: know.
Speaker:I don't remember the,
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: I don't know, maybe.
Speaker:Maybe it should just talked about them enough,
Speaker:my
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I know, I know we talked about
Speaker:them in that episode, probably we talked about Mbar and I think we
Speaker:talked about sonari a little bit.
Speaker:I found that interesting.
Speaker:That other racist telepaths are just walking around.
Speaker:On the station just fine.
Speaker:But human telepaths have to be in syco and they have to be monitored and they're
Speaker:in danger if They're running away like.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: there's some some big, double
Speaker:standard thing going on.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, well, I mean, that's, that's, Sycor.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: But we know why St.
Speaker:Hers like that from our book club.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: We do, if you didn't listen to
Speaker:book club, go listen to book club.
Speaker:But yeah, I, I think.
Speaker:That it's interesting that they don't bring up in this
Speaker:conversation with the telepath.
Speaker:That you know, they, they talk about breaking a mind.
Speaker:Wipe as illegal.
Speaker:you Know, Earth and Sonari are to be.
Speaker:buddies right now, And you kind of violated a big earth law.
Speaker:I think that's a problem, right?
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: I would think so.
Speaker:Uh, But.
Speaker:This guy just does not care because they won't be able to pin them on it.
Speaker:Because Uh, who their, what are they going to get them in?
Speaker:Bari?
Speaker:Telepath is and tardy Telepath.
Speaker:Isn't going to fuck with me.
Speaker:They've been borrowing are going to fuck with me and your human telepaths.
Speaker:Can't fuck with me.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:Eat shit, Sheridan.
Speaker:And then they're like, okay, well, we're going to throw a bag over your head.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:We happen to have the one telepath in the sector who is not beholden to Cycore
Speaker:and uh,
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: And she violates him.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: She does.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: She just gets in there, gets what
Speaker:he wants and he passes out from it.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:. At first, you know, is he dead, but she tells us he's not dead.
Speaker:He's just
Speaker:unconscious.
Speaker:He's gonna be fine.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: We've seen so many, telepaths talk
Speaker:about the deep scan and the hurt and the suffering that it causes.
Speaker:We have so much lip service paid to that and to see her just running.
Speaker:And violate the centaury telepaths mind like that.
Speaker:It is very concerning.
Speaker:Like I'm worried about Leda.
Speaker:Right
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: She has no qualms about
Speaker:committing an assault.
Speaker:You know, I when um, Talia, we kind of used her to accomplish something in
Speaker:this sort of manner against her will.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:In an episode, back in season two.
Speaker:We uh, put her in the same hallway as somebody in order to get some information.
Speaker:And Talia was very upset.
Speaker:About being used that way.
Speaker:Lida does not mind being used in this way at all.
Speaker:She's.
Speaker:Very uh, businesslike about doing this violence.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Oh, sure.
Speaker:I gotcha.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, Let me turn the screws.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: It is not okay.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And she doesn't know brother Theo.
Speaker:She doesn't have any relationship with him.
Speaker:She's just doing a favor for her buddies.
Speaker:So we find out that they've taken him to brown 42.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Or he is in brown 42.
Speaker:And.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Security rushes down.
Speaker:And we find him suspended his arms In Babylon five second best sex dungeon.
Speaker:Let's play slick clean.
Speaker:It's got lots of equipment.
Speaker:Like this is a big improvement over with Jack.
Speaker:The ripper was hiding.
Speaker:Hmm.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I think this was supposed to be a church.
Speaker:because like when, when he was waiting there, he was like
Speaker:kneeling at a little altar.
Speaker:And I think there was like some church.
Speaker:Stuff
Speaker:around it.
Speaker:Maybe,
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: This is a different
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: it in.
Speaker:Oh,
Speaker:okay.
Speaker:He's
Speaker:in a
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: because that room was
Speaker:kind of like brownish.
Speaker:This room is a little bit cleaner and.
Speaker:Not as drab.
Speaker:This room is like a little bit brighter colored.
Speaker:I
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Okay.
Speaker:So they took him somewhere else to do the murder.
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:okay.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: And this strung him up.
Speaker:He is, he is holding his Eli.
Speaker:He is done up to be like he has been crucified.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, it is
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: And
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: imagery.
Speaker:Isn't
Speaker:it?
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: yeah, it's not on accident.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, they they did this on purpose.
Speaker:He's been beaten to death.
Speaker:I I presume you know, his face is bloodied, probably internal bleeding.
Speaker:He's still alive enough to recognize brother Theo, After they get him down.
Speaker:It seems like, and I, I don't actually, I'm not actually Catholic,
Speaker:so I don't actually know the last rights, but it almost seems like
Speaker:he kind of asks for the last rights
Speaker:without, without,
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: totally last rights.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, this is a very last rights moment.
Speaker:If this, these aren't the exact, like
Speaker:last rights.
Speaker:And brother Theo.
Speaker:Sees him off with dignity.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, we get the last rates to commercial.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And he at least gets to tell brother Theo that now he knows
Speaker:he, he would've had the courage.
Speaker:to stay in, get SOE and not.
Speaker:Leave and.
Speaker:that's that's nice.
Speaker:He at least gets that
Speaker:. Fulfillment.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: imagine?
Speaker:Because we don't get this in the streaming era.
Speaker:That Babylon five stinger right after this happens.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Big emotional moment.
Speaker:Quiet Babble on five.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: And then, you know, a Folgers commercial
Speaker:or something like it's, it's crazy to me that this is the commercial break.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: How we used to watch TV is very
Speaker:interesting to think about isn't it.
Speaker:Cause I certainly don't watch it like that anymore.
Speaker:I don't watch anything on a network.
Speaker:So instead we get to watch YouTube and they interrupt us
Speaker:in the middle of a sentence.
Speaker:It's fine.
Speaker:But we come back from commercial.
Speaker:And I guess Lea has been out and about again and now she's back.
Speaker:because Ava, is welcoming her back.
Speaker:and
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: she's gone for two weeks.
Speaker:There's a little bit of a time jump.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Okay.
Speaker:Yes, we do have a little, little tiny time jump.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, we get some exposition from Ivanova
Speaker:that the trial of the murder of Edward.
Speaker:Has already occurred and finished.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Very fast, two weeks.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Two weeks.
Speaker:Can you imagine a trial in two weeks?
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Well, he just admitted his guilt
Speaker:and they've just moved on.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:I think even when people admit guilt these days, it's not
Speaker:that fast.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: won't let you for stuff.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Even smaller stuff like a.
Speaker:I won't name any names here, but I had a friend get a DUI.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: and the friend was like, I don't
Speaker:know how this is going to work.
Speaker:They're probably going to take my license away immediately.
Speaker:I figure.
Speaker:Cause I got a DUI.
Speaker:So can you drive me to the courthouse and like, hang out and take me home in
Speaker:case I'm not able to drive myself home.
Speaker:And I'm like, logistically, I don't think that's going to happen, but
Speaker:emotionally I will be there for
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Sure.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: And you know, judge called them up
Speaker:and he pled guilty and the judge refused to accept his guilty plea.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Fascinating.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Just outright was like, this is your first
Speaker:offense, this thing, this thing, this thing, get yourself a lawyer for this.
Speaker:And we'll see, I'll see you again in two months.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: okay.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I mean, I feel like there's legitimate.
Speaker:Justice-y reasons that judges would delay things like that.
Speaker:So I to, I totally get It
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Uh, the judge explained it
Speaker:a bit, the minimum sentence and stuff on a guilty plea is
Speaker:Apparently.
Speaker:And so if he pled not guilty and did other things he would have
Speaker:to, like, it was a whole thing.
Speaker:This was a long time ago to admittedly.
Speaker:But I remember the judge listing off like this ridiculous, like it was
Speaker:like a $20,000 fine or something.
Speaker:And it's just like, well, that's his take home in a year right now?
Speaker:You
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: we're college kids.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Uhhuh.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: So.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I think that for me, the two week timeframe that they Quote here.
Speaker:Kind of.
Speaker:Reinforces for me, what a.
Speaker:um, I guess it's some of the, some of the like darkness and fascism
Speaker:of the, the earth government.
Speaker:because, you know, when, when the wheels of justice turn too quickly.
Speaker:uh,
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: You're not wrong.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:There's.
Speaker:opportunities for great, great injustice there.
Speaker:So the fact that it's been two weeks, the trial is over and we
Speaker:find out that his killer was also sentenced to a death, of personality.
Speaker:That has also already been carried out.
Speaker:That's really fast.
Speaker:It's really fast.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yes.
Speaker:In the scene after this were introduced to brother Malcolm.
Speaker:A
Speaker:new recruit to the order.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Big moment for Sheridan here.
Speaker:As he confronts who brother Malcolm, is.
Speaker:brother Theo.
Speaker:Gives him a little pontification.
Speaker:First he gives uh, Sheridan the glass.
Speaker:Uh, It looks like a glass of origami thing almost.
Speaker:Little
Speaker:Crane.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: glass crane thing.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:That that Edward had been working on and we had seen Sheridan
Speaker:admiring it earlier in the episode.
Speaker:Theo gives that to him and then.
Speaker:After talking about forgiveness brings in brother Malcolm and
Speaker:Sheridan has to eat his words.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: has to, Has to.
Speaker:Realize that he's gotta walk the talk that he was talking.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Forgiveness is difficult.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: yep.
Speaker:And a great moment for brother Theo.
Speaker:to, if you think about it.
Speaker:That.
Speaker:He realized.
Speaker:This was the right thing to do for brother, Edward.
Speaker:To knowingly take this person in and make their life better.
Speaker:Even after all they had done.
Speaker:So last button on the episode.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Meta grows gills.
Speaker:She can go hang with Kevin Costner.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I was like, look at her
Speaker:gills, look at the gills.
Speaker:Cuz that's something I really remembered from the character.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: I, I will always go for
Speaker:the Waterworld joke.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I enjoy that movie in a way,
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Uh, I enjoy that movie as well.
Speaker:I will say so in college, This is a Storytime.
Speaker:In college, it was my best friend's birthday.
Speaker:And he wanted to go tubing for his birthday.
Speaker:And we had set up this whole thing and we were going to go tubing for his birthday.
Speaker:And it rained really bad that day.
Speaker:Like we were all ready to go.
Speaker:We had a bunch of people getting at my place, you know, cause we were
Speaker:living together with their inner tubes and everything, and then it
Speaker:starts to downpour and thunder storm.
Speaker:And we're just like, we're not going to
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: storm.
Speaker:That's a bad idea.
Speaker:So instead I ran to the liquor store at like 11:00 AM.
Speaker:Bought a keg.
Speaker:Brought it back.
Speaker:We've all inflated.
Speaker:Our inner tubes removed all of the furniture from our living room.
Speaker:And we watched Waterworld in our swim trunks, sitting
Speaker:in tubes in the living room.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, that's fun.
Speaker:I like that.
Speaker:It's the only way to watch water world now.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yep.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:So the other thing that's.
Speaker:About that scene, not just that she has gills.
Speaker:And I had to remind my husband that, you know, Kos is in that.
Speaker:Area that is the different atmosphere area.
Speaker:That's why the gills are significant.
Speaker:I don't think we've been in there for just a little bit.
Speaker:So Every, all the humans have had to wear like the, gas mask thing.
Speaker:And that's why K has an environmental encounter suit.
Speaker:Like.
Speaker:He's got a different atmosphere, theoretically.
Speaker:And not because he's an angel on the inside.
Speaker:But.
Speaker:The suit is open.
Speaker:And it looks like.
Speaker:Something of light is streaming out of litta into the suit.
Speaker:And so this is where we find out that uh, basically K is
Speaker:Just using her as like a me now.
Speaker:So it wasn't just Litta that, that left.
Speaker:K was with her.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: new meat suit.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: The.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: interesting,
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yep.
Speaker:Interesting development.
Speaker:Well, what'd you think of this episode?
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Oh, you know, our little tiny
Speaker:quibble with the plot aside for me, this is a be on five outta five
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: 100%, five out of five.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: It's so good.
Speaker:it does all of the right things for a Babylon five episode.
Speaker:It brings old plot points and stuff you had forgot from
Speaker:place setting from seasons ago.
Speaker:It makes you question your, your morals or ethics in a way.
Speaker:It makes a serial killer, a sympathetic character somehow.
Speaker:It will makes you question.
Speaker:Is this person even still a serial killer?
Speaker:Like what is the line?
Speaker:What is the boundary?
Speaker:What is the ship of Theseus of the mind?
Speaker:Like it is so good.
Speaker:Uh, This, this episode.
Speaker:It's just at every point is fantastic.
Speaker:Brad Durham just knocks it out of the park.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: A plus acting.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I think there's some, some moments in the
Speaker:middle where you're kind of wondering.
Speaker:Is, is he breaking?
Speaker:Is this you know, is he becoming a serial killer?
Speaker:Like.
Speaker:You know, you, You kind of wonder before we find out that someone is doing this to
Speaker:him, you wonder if he's just like the, the old personality's just busting through.
Speaker:And he's gonna go do murders again or something.
Speaker:There's a little bit of mystery to it that I like.
Speaker:On top of the things to think about with ethics and morality and.
Speaker:What this universe is like and is death of personality really humane.
Speaker:And there's so, so many questions to ask yourself.
Speaker:I love it.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: about it.
Speaker:So I.
Speaker:I'm Glad that we hit a Babylon five Outta five within the
Speaker:first four episodes of season
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: And next week we'll be talking
Speaker:about season three, episode five.
Speaker:Voices of authority.
Speaker:There's a new, powerful ally in the fight against the shadows.
Speaker:Sheridan's recent actions or question on earth.
Speaker:And some shocking information about Earth's president Clark.
Speaker:Is revealed.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Interesting.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: That
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I,
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: for an episode.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: And it's not things that I
Speaker:specifically remember like, oh yes, this is that episode.
Speaker:You know, I'm just
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: I don't
Speaker:know.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah, it's kind of ambiguous.
Speaker:But I know.
Speaker:With some of the stuff that is coming in the next five to six episodes.
Speaker:Some stuff comes kind of quick.
Speaker:Compared to where I remembered it before.
Speaker:And I will say it doesn't feel like the plot.
Speaker:Condensation has started here.
Speaker:That's a season four thing that we'll be talking about a ton.
Speaker:Because if you were unaware of listener, they didn't think it was
Speaker:going to make it to season five.
Speaker:So season four is season four and season five's plots shoved into one season.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Yeah, it gets a little crammed.
Speaker:And About halfway through season four.
Speaker:You're like what?
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: You feel like it's halfway
Speaker:through season four, but it's episode like seven or eight.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Oh, my gosh, I
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: Yeah.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: halfway point.
Speaker:So even
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: It felt like that I was shocked.
Speaker:Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite Usb Audio) Input channel 1: Mm-hmm.
Speaker:Microphone (2- USB Audio CODEC ) Input channel 1: some stuff happens in season four,
Speaker:but that's neither here nor there.
Speaker:And that's definitely not for next week.
Speaker:But what's for next And this week and every other week
Speaker:is thinking Jeremy Siegel.
Speaker:Thank you, Jeremy, for our lovely theme music, you can find more of Jeremy's
