Jumpgate #55 - Severed Dreams

It's perhaps Babylon 5's biggest status quo changing episode. I won't spoil for those of you who haven't seen it yet but BOY do Vera and I have a lot to talk about on this Jumpgate podcast. 

Jumpgate #55 - Severed Dreams

I vividly remember two things from the Babylon5 usenet group back when the episode dropped: 1. JMS put serious air-quotes around "accidentally double-booked". The Star Trek producers offered the actor a two-episode deal specifically to tempt him away (per JMS). He was so mad he killed the character off screen. I think the usenet post was "don't honk off the writer". 2. Pay attention to Jerry Doyle in the scene where he dropped his helmet after the fight. That wasn't acting. His arm was broken. Watch him drop the helmet again. Yikes. The scene with the cane was filmed before the big action scenes. They could not go back and reshoot, so the broken arm wouldn't be referenced until the next episode.

I love the end of that Episode with Delenn's speech.

Bruce McGill was also in the pilot and the last episode of Quantum Leap as well if I remember correctly.

I love this episode. One of the first times I thought "you know what? This B5 show is pretty cleverly written." Captain Braxton does good work in this one, too.
