alexcatRewatch for Season 4, Episode 18 – Intersections in Real Time

And some interesting stuff from JMS at The Lurker’s Guide to Babylon 5.
My least favorite episode in the whole series. I do not watch torture and interrogation well. Hell, I can’t even roleplay being tied up online without feeling sick.
Through everything with his banal interrogator, John refused to give in. Period. I did love the line at the end, when the interrogator asked him if he could win and John said “Every time I say no.”
I did not consider it all a hallucination, but it is suggested at the Lurker’s Guide that none of this was real. As someone who suffered a similar thing when taken off a respirator several years ago, I can attest that this could actually be true and John would never know the difference.
I like that Delenn is the thing that he looks to remind him what is real and important.
This episode wore me out. I could not sit still and watch it at all – none of the several times I’ve seen it.
1. Do you think it was real or not?
2. Where is he? Mars? Earth?
3. Did you worry that they would break him?
4. Would forcing him confess really make any difference to Clark? He already rules Earth with an iron hand. Does he fear Sheridan will win the war to free earth?
