Radical youth, space xenophobia, and the most dramatic rose drop in sci-fi history? 🌹🚀
Re-watchers Jenny and Jenn, and first-time viewers Ali and Gus, unpack “The War Prayer”, a Babylon 5 episode that hits a little too close to home with its themes of extremism, fear, and very bad poetry. This week’s highlights: 💔 Ivanova’s heartbreak moment leaves no survivors

🌌 The gang explores the politics of fear and otherness in space
🥀 Roses are red, rebellion is messy, space cults are real
🎷 Jenny makes her case for the now-iconic Sky Cthulhu Music Cue™ Plus: shoutout to the prosthetics department for going hard on the foreheads.
