Babylon 5: 3x22 Z'Ha'Dum

So Z'Ha'Dum is, of course, the 22nd episode of season three, written by JMS and directed by some guy called Adam Nimoy.

That surname sounds slightly familiar.

I don't, I don't know who he is.

[laughs]

Um, but it aired on the 28th of October 1996 and is 66, the 66th in the broadcast order.

So let's get some brief thoughts before we, uh, deep dive into this episode because quite a lot happens.

Uh, Tony, let's go with you first.

What are your brief thoughts on this episode and a score out of 10?

Well, I, I genuinely had forgotten how brilliant this was actually, and I, I, I...

There are indelible images from this episode, particularly the ending, that have been in my mind for the last 30 years, as I'm sure is the case for all of you, probably many people listening.

But I watched this and I thought, "This is just absolutely fantastic." Like, what a great episode of television, regardless of it being a finale.

So do you know what? I'm go- I'm going all the way.

I'm going for a 10.

I think it's absolutely fantastic.

Loved it.

Loved it.

Loved it so much.

Brilliant.

10 out of 10.

And what about-

Yeah

... you, Clara? What are your, what are your thoughts and score?

Um, mm, so I kinda wanna give it a 10 out of 10, but I think I have to give it a nine out of 10, and it's partly because of one particular scene-

Mm

... that I think just feels a little clunky to me.
