ISN has arrived on the station, and the "truth" is looking a little bit like a hatchet job – this week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Ali, and Gus dive into Babylon 5 Season 2, Episode 15, “And Now For a Word”.
The crew breaks down the groundbreaking documentary-style episode that gave us our first look at the station from the outside. We discuss the terrifyingly relevant world of interstellar propaganda, the horrifying "subliminal" Psi Corps commercials, and the deep dive into Jungian psychology that had Gus and Ali questioning the very nature of humanity. With three industry pros at the table, we analyze the "60 Minutes" aesthetic, the use of early drone-camera tech, and why Sheridan’s final monologue left the entire team in tears.+4
