Plagues, politics, and the price of silence - this week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Ali, and Gus dive into Babylon 5 Season 2 Episode 18, "Confessions and Lamentations." As a devastating disease threatens to annihilate the Markab people, the crew breaks down one of the most emotional and haunting episodes of the series.


Jenn explores the episode's "Inside Baseball" production and the heavy parallels to the AIDS crisis and 1990s Hantavirus outbreak. Ali and Gus react to the shocking finality of the Markab fate, and Jenny breaks down that pivotal moment of compassion between Sheridan and Delenn.
