Hunter, comma, Prey.
Your humble hosts pretty much agree that this is not only a good episode, it’s the first episode of Babylon 5 that is purely arc-driven: it’s all about what came before and sets up what is to come. Let’s talk about conspiracies, singing ships and hapless doctors!
Here you may discuss everything about “Hunter, Prey” that does not spoil future episodes, including Dr. Everett Jacobs’s magnificent mustache.
The Prime Time Entertainment Network reran “Hunter, Prey” approximately 597 times.
So you can probably discuss this episode and its future implications from memory.

The long-awaited Ivanova Dance edition of B5AG is here! Did anything else happen in this episode? As a matter of fact, quite a lot. Weep for G’Kar. Curse Londo. Snicker with Taq. Boom. Shubba-lubba.
And, as always, don’t miss our spoiler and non-spoiler discussion threads!
If you have never seen Babylon 5 before, you may be wondering what the heck was up with the Ivanova Dance. Rest assured, people who haven’t seen “Acts of Sacrifice” in years may be wondering that as well. But, hey! How about that G’Kar guy, huh? No spoilers for future episodes, please.
Your humble podcast hosts decided as they recorded the episode that this wasn’t so much a setup episode as a payoff episode, so not a lot of spoilery stuff this time around. Were we right? Talk about “Acts of Sacrifice” in the context of future episodes here!

This is possibly a first in Babylon 5 history: the B5AG crew cites Ross Perot in an otherwise serious critical analysis.
Meanwhile, Captain Sheridan is all alone in the night, Delenn is all alone in the night, a pilot whose call sign may as well have been “Dead Meat” is all alone in the night, and I seem to recall that a certain space station was described as being all alone in the night, I’m not sure. Oh, and it’s time for the series’s second jab at those poor, misunderstood abducting gray aliens.
Things have gone from bad to worse for Delenn, while a joyride to preserve his flight pay strands Sheridan in unknown space. What did you think of their misadventures, and about that revelation at the end when General Hague came to visit?
Sheridan flies a plane. Sheridan meets a Narn. Delenn has a meeting. Sheridan has a meeting. Yup, just a run of the mill day on Babylon 5 with absolutely no implications for the rest of the series.
Right?

Paul Winfield comes onto the station as General Richard Franklin (no relation to the Doctor Who actor, sorry) and brings 25,000 ground pounders with him as, one episode after the Narn-Centauri war began, our favorite space U.N. quickly takes on a decidedly military tone. Is “GROPOS” underrated? Were you squirming in your seats at Garibaldi and Dodger’s attempted assignation? For God’s sake, what about Keffer? And, for you folks who stick with us into the spoiler section–what is Chip’s greatest fear?
