#12 – The Quiet Turning of Considered Conscience (SEVERED DREAMS)

What a year it's already been. And we're bringing you our first offering of 2026 with what, according to IMDb, is the highest rated episode of the Babylon 5. That's right folks, we're finally doing it. Of course I'm talking about the Hugo Award-winning, status quo-smashing episode, season 3's "SEVERED DREAMS." In some ways, our entire podcast has been leading up to this. But have we really reached our IRL Severed Dreams moment...? <*> Please write to us! Any and all comments are welcome, but we're particularly interested in how you came across the show and what platform you listen on. You know, for science. lastbesthopeb5@gmail.com www.lastbesthopeb5.com [http://www.lastbesthopeb5.com] Read transcript [https://pnc.st/s/last-best-hope/11d2a72a/the-quiet-turning-of-considered-conscience-severed-dreams-/transcript] ----------------------------------------
