Column Babylon 5 Rewatch Babylon 5 Rewatch: “The Long Dark” A hundred-year-old ship arrives at the station, and Dr. Franklin makes some ethically questionable decisions… By Keith R.A. DeCandido | Published on October 21, 2024 Credit: Warner Bros. Television Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Warner Bros. Television “The Long Dark”Written by Scott FrostDirected by Mario DiLeoSeason 2, Episode 5Production episode 205Original air date: November 30, 1994 It was the dawn of the third age… A very old ship, sending out an unfamiliar signal, is tumbling through space toward B5. It identifies itself as the USS Copernicus, which indicates that it’s a very old human ship, as Earth ships these days have the EAS prefix. Even as the signal comes in, a lurker in downbelow named Amis starts going completely batshit, desperately uttering the Lord’s Prayer, then running screaming down the corridor. He winds up in the Zocalo, screaming about armies of darkness and soldiers of the devil and so forth until he’s taken into custody by Garibaldi. Maintenance bots are dispatched to the Copernicus. Sheridan recognizes it as an old sleeper ship of a type used before the Centauri sold jumpgate tech to Earth. There’s one lifesign on board. A boarding party finds two capsules, one with a corpse, one with a living woman, who is rushed to medlab. Garibaldi checks on Amis, who is having nightmares that indicate that he fought in the Earth-Minbari War—mostly because, as Garibaldi explains to his subordinate, he himself has the exact same nightmares from his time as a GROPO (ground-pounder) in the war. Credit: Warner Bros. Television When Amis wakes up, he’s much more rational—but he has no memory of the incident, which he says is not unusual. Garibaldi lets him go, offering a counselor. Franklin saves the woman and does an autopsy on the corpse. The organs have been removed, which indicates that he was murdered. The woman wakes up, identifying herself as Mariah Cirrus. Her husband is Will Cirrus, and they volunteered for this mission. She’s stunned to learn that a century has passed since they launched, and even more stunned to learn that her husband is dead. Amis finds himself wandering to the Copernicus, until security chases him out of the loading bay. Franklin shows Mariah around the station, filling her in on the high points of the last hundred years, including the successful war against the Dilgar and the inconclusive war against the Minbari. He introduces her to G’Kar, who informs Mariah that she’d be better off back where she started a century ago. This prompts a hallucination, as Mariah sees images of herself in her tube with something looming over her. She passes out, and wakes up in Franklin’s quarters, because, he says, they were closest. Uh huh. The two of them almost kiss, which is howlingly inappropriate, with Mariah suddenly announcing that she and her husband were having problems. Franklin awkwardly says she needs rest and she lays down on the couch. Amis once again starts ranting in the Zocalo, saying that the Copernicus brought a “soldier of darkness” to the station, one he’s faced before. Amis was with a unit that was wiped out on a small moon during the war, with Amis the only survivor. Even as Garibaldi tries to calm Amis down, a lurker in downbelow is attacked and killed. Credit: Warner Bros. Television Franklin’s autopsy reveals that the lurker was killed the exact same way as Will. Meanwhile, Garibaldi has determined that the Copernicus passed within the gravitational pull of the very same moon where Amis’ unit was attacked. Franklin has an alibi for Mariah’s whereabouts when the lurker was attacked, which amazingly doesn’t get him reprimanded, but Sheridan insists on a 24-hour watch on her, just to be sure. A council meeting is called, and the Markab ambassador explains that they think a soldier of darkness has been brought by the Copernicus. A great darkness was defeated long ago, and it is now marshaling its forces for a return. Mollari dismisses the entire notion; G’Kar is genuinely interested in what the Markab have to say; Sheridan doesn’t know what to think, but promises to do everything he can to make sure there are no more murders. Garibaldi decides to use Amis to lure the creature. Amis explains that the creature left him alive to torment and feed off him. Amis runs away from Garibaldi, hoping to lure the creature where it can’t hurt anyone. Mariah says that whatever she’s been hallucinating is something that fed off her—and now is feeding off the people on B5. Garibaldi then asks her to do what he wanted to do with Amis before he buggered off, and she agrees to try to find it for him, with Franklin tagging along. There’s weapons fire in Brown Sector, and our heroes are able to stop the creature—who is tormenting Amis some more—by a crossfire of PPGs. Credit: Warner Bros. Television Amis survives, being treated in medlab. Mariah decides to return to Earth to grieve and get her life back together. Ivanova investigates and discovers that the soldier of darkness changed Copernicus’s course to Z’ha’dum. However, when it came proximate to B5, the ship’s automatic programming took over and changed course to a human facility. We close on G’Kar looking at a passage in the Book of G’Quan, which includes an image of the soldier of darkness. Get the hell out of our galaxy! Sheridan, dork that he is, recognizes the hundred-year-old ship for what it is. The household god of frustration. Apparently Garibaldi fought in the Earth-Minbari War as a ground troop, a fact that has somehow managed not to come up at any point prior to this. In the glorious days of the Centauri Republic… Mollari’s entire attitude toward both Amis’ rants and the Markab claims is disgusted disbelief, which is disingenuous, to say the least… Though it take a thousand years, we will be free. G’Kar is sure that he’s starting to get a line on the ancient foe that’s coming back. He’s also spectacularly rude to Mariah, and he quotes Yogi Berra while being so. (“The future isn’t what it used to be.”) Credit: Warner Bros. Television The Shadowy Vorlons. Apparently, the Shadows have helpers who’ve been just hanging out waiting for the call home… No sex, please, we’re EarthForce. Franklin is creepily lusting after Mariah from jump, starting with his stroking her hair in a manner that is not medical before she even wakes up. Welcome aboard. Anne-Marie Johnson is blandness personified as Mariah, but the big guest here is the great Dwight Schultz—best known for his roles as “Howling Mad” Murdock on The A-Team and as Reg Barclay on various Star Trek productions, and who lately has been doing a ton of voice acting work—giving us his usual fine job of portraying a complex crazy as Amis. Trivial matters. G’Kar has been concerned that an ancient enemy mentioned in the Book of G’Quan is returning, as seen in “Revelations.” This is the first mention of Garibaldi’s past military service. This is the only script for B5 by Scott Frost. We see a Drazi in the Zocalo, but he is not wearing a purple sash for some reason, as per the events of “The Geometry of Shadows.” The echoes of all of our conversations. “I have walked in the valley of—” “Good! Keep on walking!” —Amis trying to preach to G’Kar and G’Kar refusing delivery of same. Credit: Warner Bros. Television The name of the place is Babylon 5. “Evil sometimes wears a pleasant face.” I’ll take “Episodes That Have Aged Really Badly” for $1000, Alex… Seriously, I felt like I needed a shower after watching the episode. It started with Franklin stroking Mariah’s hair while she was unconscious in medlab, and it just got worse and worse, from him taking her to his quarters while she was unconscious when there’s a perfectly good medlab to bring her to, to the kiss and then letting her stay overnight in his quarters. There is nothing ethical in any nanosecond of Franklin’s behavior, and a lot that is creepy and oogy, and I found myself for the second time in this rewatch (after “Believers”) wishing that someone would report Franklin to the EarthGov equivalent of the AMA. Not aiding this disaster is a remarkably charisma-free performance from Anne-Marie Johnson. Also at this point I’m suffering from some serious foreshadowing fatigue. This is the sixth episode since we started getting warnings about a coming darkness in “Chrysalis,” and I find myself feeling like I’m in a Monty Python sketch where they cut to a crowd that shouts, “GET ON WITH IT!” The Markab ambassador this episode is just the latest, after Delenn, Lennier, G’Kar, and Elric—everyone’s just so sure there’s this nasty-ass thing coming, so you’d think we’d have more information. I know that J. Michael Straczynski is never happier than when he’s fulfilling prophecies, but I find myself growing incredibly weary of the portentous dialogue promising awful things at some vague future point. Luckily, the episode is redeemed by a typically brilliant performance by Dwight Schultz as Amis. Schultz has always been able to manage a perfect combination of subtle and over-the-top and somehow making it work, and Amis is a particularly strong example of Schultz’s strong suit. Amis is at once ridiculous and tragic, and Schultz absolutely nails it. Next week: “A Spider in the Web.”[end-mark] The post <i>Babylon 5</i> Rewatch: “The Long Dark” appeared first on Reactor.

This November, education choice is on the ballot. Voters in three states—Colorado, Kentucky, and Nebraska—will decide Nov. 5 whether families should be able to choose the learning environments that work best for their children and have public funds follow their child. Two states are considering amendments to clarify that school choice is constitutional, while one is asking voters to ratify or reject a school choice measure passed by state legislators. Here’s a rundown. Preserving School Choice in Colorado In the Rocky Mountain State, voters will consider Amendment 80, which would add a section to the Colorado Constitution stating: that all children have the right to equal opportunity to access a quality education; that parents have the right to direct the education of their children; and that school choice includes neighborhood, charter, private, and homeschools, open enrollment options, and future innovations in education. Colorado has a long history of school choice. In 1993, it became one of the earliest states to enact a charter school law and, in 1994, adopted an open enrollment policy for public schools. In 2011, Colorado’s Douglas County created a school voucher program for low-income students. However, the Colorado Supreme Court struck down that program in 2015 under the state Constitution’s anti-Catholic Blaine Amendment. The case was vacated by the U.S. Supreme Court in its 2017 decision in Trinity Lutheran. However, the teachers union-captured school board terminated the program later that year, before the state Supreme Court had an opportunity to reconsider the case. Supporters argue that the constitutional amendment on the ballot is necessary to protect Colorado’s existing and potential future school choice policies from similar legal attacks. “This is a pathway to ensuring that school choice is preserved in Colorado, parental rights are recognized in our state’s Constitution, and that every child can have the best options in education,” said Kristi Burton Brown, executive vice president of Advance Colorado, the public interest organization behind the ballot initiative. Colorado's Amendment 80 is about making sure that EVERY child has the best options in education available to them. School choice recognizes that one size doesn't fit all and that all kids deserve a real chance at success. #YESon80 #copolitics pic.twitter.com/TKrQACGZzS— Kristi Burton Brown (@KBBColorado) October 2, 2024 School choice is quite popular in Colorado. According to Morning Consult, 7 in 10 Coloradans support K-12 education savings accounts, including 77% of parents of school-age children. Nearly two-thirds of Coloradans say they support charter schools, including nearly 70% of parents of school-age children. Kentucky’s School Choice Comeback? Voters in the Bluegrass State will consider a constitutional amendment to enshrine school choice in the Kentucky Constitution. Amendment 2, also known as the Students First Amendment, would give the state Legislature the explicit authority to “provide financial support for the education of students outside the system of common schools.” The ballot question comes as a response to the Kentucky Supreme Court’s flawed decision to strike down the state’s Education Opportunity Account Program, enacted in the wake of school shutdowns over COVID-19 in 2021. The state’s highest court ruled that the choice policy, which would have operated similarly to K-12 education savings account policies in several other states, violated a provision of the state Constitution. After the court’s decision, Kentucky dropped from No. 8 in the nation for education choice and No. 30 for education freedom overall on The Heritage Foundation’s Education Freedom Report Card to No. 38 in the nation for education choice and No. 41 overall. On Heritage’s most recent report card, Kentucky ranks No. 45 for education choice and No. 36 overall. Kentucky students fare poorly on the National Assessment for Education Progress, scoring 32nd nationwide in reading and 39th in math. But money isn’t the issue. Kentucky school districts spend more than $18,500 per pupil, on average, according to the most recent data from the Kentucky Department of Education. That’s up from about $13,500 per pupil a decade ago in 2022-23 dollars, a 37% increase. Meanwhile, teacher salaries have declined by 5%, adjusted for inflation, between 1992 and 2019, according to data from EdChoice. Public schools in Kentucky also have been rocked by a series of scandals and failures. Madison County’s school district reached a settlement agreement last year with the U.S. Justice Department over its failure to protect students from pervasive racial harassment. The most visible failure was when Jefferson County Public Schools—the largest district in the state—suffered a transportation meltdown on the first day of school last year. Some scared and hungry children weren’t dropped off at home until nearly 10 p.m. and some had soiled themselves. The school district canceled several days of classes to address its own mishandling of student transportation. The district later cut transportation services to “magnet” schools entirely. It’s no wonder Kentucky’s homeschooling rates have soared in recent years—up 56% since the 2017-18 school year statewide, and up as much as 75% in some areas, including rural Pulaski County and urban Fayette County. Yet instead of getting its own house in order, Kentucky school districts apparently used public resources to campaign against Amendment 2. As Corey DeAngelis and Dean McGee of the Liberty Justice Center wrote in an August op-ed in The Wall Street Journal: In August, Pulaski County Schools urged voters to say no to Amendment 2 on its websites, Facebook page, and even a physical sign on school grounds. [Kentucky] Attorney General Russell Coleman, a Republican, responded with a formal advisory reminding school districts that “tax dollars appropriated for public education funds . . . must not be used to advocate for or against the Amendment.” The Liberty Justice Center, a libertarian public-interest litigation firm, also took action, sending a demand letter on behalf of Pulaski County taxpayers to the school district seeking the removal of all illegal campaign messages and the cessation of any further violations of the law. Pulaski County Schools has since removed the graphics, but replaced them with a statement by its superintendent, Patrick Richardson, that itself seems to violate the law. Mr. Richardson wrote that although he would follow the advisory, he disagreed with it and complained that the attorney general hadn’t consulted with him before issuing statewide legal guidance, which he called “partisan politics at its worst.” It appears that Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, a Democrat, essentially has given license to district schools to engage in illegal electioneering, erroneously claiming they have a “First Amendment right” to “fight for the future of public schools.” Of course, as individuals, school district employees have the right to say whatever they want about matters of public policy. But they have no right to use public resources to do so. BREAKING: Kentucky Democrat Governor Andy Beshear defends Pulaski County school district's illegal electioneering.He says the government school district has "1st Amendment rights" and that they're "fighting for the future of public schools."They broke the law, @AndyBeshearKY. pic.twitter.com/mA1abu51a8— Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist (@DeAngelisCorey) August 15, 2024 Given that license, it’s not surprising that the Kentucky Education Association’s Facebook page contains multiple examples of campaigning against Amendment 2 inside public school buildings. What the teachers unions don’t tell voters is that when parents have choices in education, so do teachers. Teachers generally get into teaching to help kids reach their full potential, not to be micromanaged or to do hours of administrative work. Freeing families from the constraints of district schooling also means freeing teachers. In states that have embraced education choice policies, groups such as MatchEd help teachers leverage that freedom to teach the way they want to teach and find families willing to pay them directly.  In Nebraska, Unions Oppose School Choice In the Cornhusker State, voters will decide whether to keep or repeal a school choice policy passed by the Nebraska Legislature earlier this year. In April, a bipartisan supermajority of Nebraska lawmakers voted 33-14 to pass a scholarship policy for students from low-income families. The bill received exactly the number of votes necessary to pass, since a supermajority was needed to overcome a filibuster. However, opponents of the scholarships for poor students gathered enough signatures to refer the measure to the ballot. Teachers unions urge voters to repeal the $10 million scholarship program. Tim Royers, president of the Nebraska State Education Association, claims that families already have enough options: “In 1989, Nebraska created ‘option enrollment’ that allows any family to attend any public school in the state as long as they are not at capacity.” In other words, you can have a Ford in any color you want, so long as it’s black. Ballot initiatives on school choice have not fared well in the past, but this year might be different. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, with widespread school closures and learning loss, as well as pervasive woke ideology infecting schools, families increasingly demand alternatives to traditional schooling. Parents who feel disillusioned with the status quo increasingly are choosing school choice. The post School Choice on the Ballot in 3 States appeared first on The Daily Signal.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. A large number of state-funded legacy public broadcasters from around the world have joined the Ottawa Declaration, which calls for combating “disinformation.” Among the declaration’s points is the one that goes into what its authors – CBC/Radio-Canada – refer to as “accountability from social media platforms.” The document wants to have these platforms implement “safeguards and processes to address where disinformation is disseminated.” We obtain a copy of the document for you here. CBC was joined in this and a number of other demands by the world’s largest public legacy media organization, the Public Media Alliance, and its Global Task Force. Members of that task force are the likes of ABC, BBC, France TV, Germany’s ZDF, and CBC/Radio-Canada, among others. The declaration they supported was adopted at the 2024 Public Broadcasters International conference in Ottawa, and features “public service media” (“PSM”) claiming that their news and coverage are of “high quality” and of the kind that contributes to the “health of democracies all over the world.” It then cites the demise of many local outlets and asserts there is now a rise in misinformation and disinformation, as well as that “professional news content” struggles with discoverability on the internet. Altogether, the declaration states, that this represents “a threat to democracy.” The document parrots what politicians in many countries, including the US and Germany, have been saying these last months when it warns about algorithms and malicious actors destabilizing societies by means of disseminating misinformation. For these reasons, the signatories committed to ensuring wide access to what they consider to be news, “combating disinformation” (and that includes the use of controversial “fact-checkers” but also “verifying content provenance”). These legacy broadcasters also pledge to restore “civil” democratic debate, and then go into what social media platforms should do. One demand is to provide distribution of their own content “on fair terms.” And then once again, the declaration returns to “disinformation,” this time in the context of social media. Legacy broadcasters seem averse to competition but are not above smearing it, and so the document reads that social media platforms “should also have safeguards and processes to address where disinformation is disseminated and impostor content masquerades as professional news media.” No battle in “the war on disinformation” is complete these days without the mention of “AI.” The outlets that backed the declaration say they will be complying “with principles of responsible AI use” that will provide them with transparency and “fair use of our content.” If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net.

Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance unequivocally declared Sunday that "Jesus is King."Speaking at a campaign rally in Wisconsin, Vance denounced Vice President Kamala Harris for spewing "anti-Christian rhetoric" and promoting "anti-Christian" public policy. That's when a rally-goer interrupted Vance's speech, shouting, "Jesus is King."'We're going to respect Christians.'But instead of admonishing that attendee — like Harris did last week when some of her rally-goers declared the kingship of Jesus Christ — Vance stopped his speech and affirmed the declaration."That's right! Jesus is King!" Vance said.Vance is an outspoken Christian, having been baptized in 2019 as a member of the Catholic Church. — (@) After affirming Jesus' kingship, Vance excoriated Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) for a "sacrilegious" viral stunt in which she appeared to mock communion."I don't think that we've seen anything like this in modern American politics," Vance said. "Gretchen Whitmer does this really bizarre thing where she acts like she's giving somebody communion, but it's a Dorito. And of course, Gretchen Whitmer isn't like a minister of anything — except for a church I don't necessarily want to talk about — but think about how sacrilegious that is, and think about how offensive that is to every person.""Frankly, whether you're a person of Christian faith or not, Donald Trump and I are going to fight for your right to live your values because that's what the First Amendment protects," Vance continued. "And I think whether you're a Christian, a Catholic, or any other faith or no faith at all, when you see an American leader, when you see a surrogate of Kamala Harris insulting people of the Christian faith, I think that we should say to every single one of those people, 'You're fired! We're not giving you any more power.'"In a second Donald Trump presidency, Vance promised, "We're going to respect Christians." Vance's reaction to hearing "Jesus is King" was completely different to that of Harris when she heard the same declaration at a campaign rally last week.While speaking at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, a pair of students shouted, "Jesus is Lord" and "Christ is King," resulting in what they said was heckling from Harris' supporters. But the moment went viral on social media when Harris paused her speech and appeared to address the students."You guys are at the wrong rally," she jeered. "I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street." — (@) Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Kamala Harris' latest attempt to pander to a group she has alienated with her politics and prejudices appears to be going very badly. After attempting to win back those black male voters now abandoning her and the Democratic Party en masse with the promise of federally legalized marijuana, Harris set her sights more broadly on Christian voters, insinuating that "putting faith into action" means casting a vote for her — despite her zealous support of abortion and gender ideology, her past anti-Christian remarks, and her efforts to run roughshod over religious liberties. The online component of Harris' "souls to the polls" campaign, which corresponded with her visits Sunday to churches in Georgia, was overwhelmingly met with ridicule. Harris tweeted an image of herself standing on a church platform with crosses in the background, stating, "We each have the power to make a difference — in our communities and in this election. Now is the time to come together to show faith in action and service." Despite netting nearly 2 million views on X, the post received fewer than 8,000 likes. 'This is such disgusting, superficial, disingenuous pandering, it's beyond words.' BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey quipped, "Christian Nationalism is so scary." Auron MacIntyre, the host of BlazeTV's “The Auron MacIntyre Show” who helped "ratio" the vice president's post, responded, "I think you're at the wrong rally." MacIntyre's comment, which received roughly 9,000 more likes than Harris' post by the time of publication, referred to the vice president's remarks at her campaign event last week in La Crosse, Wisconsin. On Thursday — the day Harris blew off the Archdiocese of New York's 79th annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner — the vice president reportedly told a pair of Christian college students who yelled "Jesus is Lord" that they were "at the wrong rally." Grant Beth, one of the pro-life students mocked by Harris and elements of her crowd, told "Fox & Friends," "This is what you are going to get with a Kamala Harris presidency." "You are going to get the Kamala Harris that alienates over 50% of the U.S. population that is Christian," continued Beth. "You're going to get the Kamala Harris that skips the Al Smith Memorial Dinner." When an audience member yelled, "Jesus is King," at a campaign event for Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), Trump's running mate said, "That's right. Jesus is King!" "Christians won't be fooled," tweeted Trump campaign adviser Alex Bruesewitz wrote in response to Harris' "souls to the polls" post. Popular YouTuber David Freiheit wrote, "4 days after telling a rally-goer who said 'Jesus is Lord' that they were 'at the wrong rally', Cackling Kamala puts out this message. This is such disgusting, superficial, disingenuous pandering, it's beyond words. And if it works on you, you are an idiot." One user wrote, "Christians are voting for Trump." Harris told members of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest, Georgia, on Sunday, "Our country is at a crossroads, and where we go from here is up to us as Americans and as people of faith," reported CNN. 'She has done nothing to support people of faith and what we believe and what we stand for.' "We face this question: What kind of country do we want to live in?" said Harris. "A country of chaos, fear, and hate, or a country of freedom, compassion, and justice?" Like the booster group Evangelicals for Harris, the vice president attempted to use scripture to paint her political cause as morally righteous, casting herself, for example, as the protagonist in the parable of the Good Samaritan. This might be a big reach for a great many American Christians, including Billy Graham's son, Franklin Graham. Blaze News recently reported that Franklin Graham said his dad would never have supported a candidate like Harris, highlighting how her positions are antithetical to Jesus Christ. "My father was a strong conservative all of his life, theologically as well as politically," Graham told Premier Christian News. "He would have never voted for or supported someone like Kamala Harris — someone who is almost anti-Christ in her positions. She has done nothing to support people of faith and what we believe and what we stand for." Harris has found numerous ways to alienate Christians, including suggesting that Catholic judicial nominees who embrace the Vatican's moral teaching should be disqualified from serving on federal courts; co-sponsoring the "Equality Act," which Kenneth Craycraft, the James J. Gardner Chair of Moral Theology at Mount St. Mary's Seminary and School of Theology, indicated would compel Christian hospitals "to perform gender transition surgeries, open women's restrooms to men, and force girls and women to compete against boys and men in athletic competitions"; introducing and sponsoring the Do No Harm Act, which would force religious individuals and organizations to engage in activities that directly violate their firmly held religious beliefs; attacking abstinence education; supporting overturning the Hyde Amendment, thereby freeing up federal funds for abortions; and authorizing a raid on the home of a pro-life activist who exposed Planned Parenthood's alleged trafficking of baby parts.
