Title: 4x08 The Illusion Of Truth

A team of ISN reporters arrives at the satiation wanting to do a story about Babylon 5. Sheridan refuses at first, but finally agrees on the theory that at least a small part of their side of the conflict will be shown.

I know this one gets a lot of stick for being a bit obvious (and I can't believe Sheridan would think that the Clark propaganda machine that is ISN would make anything buy an unbiased attack on the station), but I quite enjoy it.

Interesting to see the Garibaldi story develop - from his shocking resignation last episode to his verbal attack on Sheridan in this one, something ain't right. Is this the same Garibladi who lectured G'Kar about doing what the captain say, no matter how silly?

And bonus points for the bit where Lennier nuts a flying video camera :)

I just can't believe that someone who commands a space station can be that gullible. OK, I know ISN would have gone ahead and done it anyway but at least you wouldn't have B's crew all over it.

That said, I like this episode because it gives us another way of looking at the story, form the outside looking in, as it were. And Lennier and the camera always gets a laugh

:lol:@Lenier headbutting the camera

I knew ISN would somehow show all the footage out of context, but it was quite a feat to make it seem as bad as it looked. :o

This episode always seems like a bit of a waste to me - a case of been here, done that before. It's enjoyable enough, but it's 40 minutes that could've been spent giving the Shadow War a more satisfying conclusion, imo :)

Hmm, according to the Lurker's Guide master episode list I should be watching Thirdspace next :ponder:

Yup Thirdspace is supposedly set mid S4, which makes sense as it's the only one with Ivanova in it.

I watched it before reading your post, so it's just as well it made sense :lol:

Are you going to have a separate sub-forum for the movies or shall I just start a thread for it in season 4? :unsure:

Um.... I think we were going to start a sub forum :unsure: but I suppose if you start a thread it could always be moved later :)

Hmm, shall I go start it in the Buffy board, just to see what happens, purely an experiment, of course... :naughty: :lol: :ph43r:

Well... you could.... :ermm:

But as most of them seem to think that no other shows exist (unless produced by some Joss bloke) ;) you may not get too many replies, though possibly a few purplexed looks. :)
