HELP!

Are there any Babylon 5 fans out there in flistland?

I've seen one episode ever, I don't know what the episode is called, and so I can't track it down for a re-watch and see if it would be useful for this paper I'm working on.

The point of the episode was that Media Is Evil, and the plot of the episode had a journalist covering some major plot point or another in a way that ultimately was not to the main character's satisfaction.

Any information would be deeply appreciated!

(Also? The word processor's dictionary doesn't have a "Fine Arts Theoretical-Wank" language option. Fetishization/fetishize, televisual, signifier, gravitas, objectification/objectify, reframe... all unknown. Incidentally, "Scully" and "Farscape" give it problems, too.)

Hey there,

Val bakaelf gave me a link to your question, since she knows what a fan of B5 I am... Especially a fan of hating psi corp, which is why I think I remember this episode as it had a fake commercial at the end.

The name of the episode I think is The Illusion of Truth. Rather fitting I think. It was a great look at how easily the truth can be twisted and turned to fit any propaganda. There is an episode synopsis and list following this link: http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/guide/074.html'

I hope this was the correct episode and that I could be of help^^
Good luck~

[I also find B5 to be very good and and creative when it comes to sending a moral message/social commentaries. That's another reason I really enjoy it^^]

i didn't know you were a b5 fan! i devoutly followed the first season and a half when it first came on, then my life got very very busy. i loved it though.

[hi naturelf, you don't know me but i followed chibimya here, heh]

That sounds like the one I was thinking of - it struck me as a fantastic hour of TV (obviously, or else I'd have forgotten about it years ago). Thank you ever so much for the name of that episode!

It's actually the reason that I picked up the first season-and-a-half worth of B5 VHS tapes when I had the chance. It'll be May before I can start in on the show, but I am very much looking forward to it!

Awesome, awesome~

I suppose I skipped the pleasantries >>;

I'm Cat, it's nice to meet you.^^

I also had to comment one more time and say I loved your Teal'c icon, from below. Not that Kaylee isn't fun either^^

Hee! Thanks! I think I'm getting a bit better with icons, but the Teal'c is still the one I'm proudest of.

Oh, Babylon Project.

I'm not sure if it's the same episode, but there's an episode of B5 also where the entire thing is shown as if it were an actual news report, involving events on B5. If it's not the same one, that might also be worth watching. I will check for the title of it in a sec.

I'm pretty sure that's the one I'm thinking of. Sounds familiar. I think I caught it on its first airing, back in the day, so it's been a while.
