S1E4: "Infection"

A mysterious bio-weapon, a suspicious archaeology corp, and… Cockroach Vader with an arm cannon?! 🪲💥
Join re-watchers Jenny and Jenn, and first-time viewers Ali and Gus, as they tackle Babylon 5’s campy, creature-heavy episode "Infection." Highlights from this week’s discussion:

Is this the weakest episode in Season 1? (JMS thought so, but Ali might fight him on that.)
Cockroach Vader with an arm cannon: the people’s monster
Big themes: xenophobia, Earth-first politics, and humanity’s legacy
That Garibaldi/Sinclair scene and its very 90s TV resolution
