1 x 2 – Soul Hunter

The craziest episode in the series in many ways. The Soul Hunters are some bizarre dudes!

The recap for this episode is Soul Hunter on Dreamwidth. LJ mirror is Here.

We meet Dr. Franklin. Many fans have expressed a dislike for him – as if he's a Mary Sue or something. I personally adored him. He was handsome and such a nice guy. He really jumped right into it with the arrival of the Soul Hunter.

What did the Soul Hunter see in Delenn's mind?

I love righteous and angry Delenn... she was scary as hell. So did she just free the Minbari souls? Or all of them?

Did y'all like this one? I can never decide.

Favorite quote for me: The burial rite done by Ivanova - "From the stars we came, and to the stars we return, from now until the end of time. We therefore commit this body to the deep."

Here's Franklin:

I like Dr. Franklin but perhaps it's because I remember the way he'll turn later. More human and less like a Ken doll.

This was such a trippy episode. The dudes with vulvas in their foreheads... geez. But they also reminded me way too much of religious fanatics we see in the world.

They also remind me that the fanatics aren't new - though I do believe their numbers are growing.

I really like Franklin and I like that through it all, he learned but never did lose his idealism in the face of harsh as hell reality.
