Epic Scope. Shakespearean Tragedy. Depth of Character. Training in Virtue. Tune in as our “Gathering” of panelists offers an overview of one of television’s most consequential Space Operas: Babylon 5. Panelists Richard Strube, Sam Cook, and Amy Browning-Dill join host Cindy Collins Smith to deliver elevator pitches for the themes, legacy, and terrific acting that make Babylon 5 a must-see for science fiction fans and to discuss the ways in which the series serves as an example of the good “pagan” literature that St. Basil the Great instructs young Christian men to study with discernment.
