A political officer, a very alarming Ministry of Peace, and Ivanova taking a trip through the Great Machine, this week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Gus, and Ali break down Babylon 5 Season 3 Episode 5, “Voices of Authority.” It’s an episode full of propaganda, power plays, and warning signs that Earth is getting scarier by the minute.

We discuss Julie Musante’s deeply unsettling arrival, Sheridan trying very hard not to be seduced by the government, Zack’s troubling Night Watch choices, Draal’s dramatic return, Marcus and Ivanova’s extremely shippable banter, and the discovery that the Shadows may have been involved in President Santiago’s assassination. Plus: First Ones, telepaths, Morden’s voice, the perfect episode title, and Ali enjoying being right.
