Oof that has not aged well
It hasn’t?
I dunno, do you think police officers randomly threatening to murder journalists has stood up as a humorous exchange? I think it’s pretty cringe personally.
Interesting. I didn’t think of Sheridan and Ivanova as pigs back then. Garibaldi for sure. But you’re right that they’re at least military. I could see it as a satire of authoritarianism nowadays.
I admit I’ve never seen the show, kinda before my time. But they seem like space police on what I assume is a space station :)
They are rebel military governors of a station that seceded from the earth government. The media in question is a part of a propaganda wing of an anti-democratic authoritarian government they are under blockade and misinformation campaign from.
By no means are they saints nor are they anything but military governors at this point. But in their defense the station was a military installation and they later go on to form a democratic government and cede control of the station back to it. So it’s definitely a show that has a stand up to those giving immoral and illegal orders vibe. Not saints, definitely military and wield it heavily sometimes. But overall the message is one of following the democratic process and respecting the freedom of the press.
The rest of the episode is centered around Sheridan allowing the freedom of the press and then getting burned in the end by the propaganda machine twisting everything that is said an seen to their own advantage. But still ends on the note that they were right to open up and right to believe in continuing to be open.
I love that cheeky lesbian.

The one with Drummer or the one with Ashford work well, too.
Oh? I haven’t seen that one.
'Ere ya go, beltalowda. To go on every bulkhead, on all ships, sasa ke?
It’s literally the same “no-yes” space billionaires meme with Klaes Ashford and the same one with Camina Drummer. I can’t find them at the moment, but if you use your imagination, it’s almost as good. If I get a chance later, I’ll see if I can’t dig them up
Inyalowda big talk till dem taste vacuum, sasa key?
Is this space creole from the expanse?
Dui, friend mi.

Blood on the wall, beratnas!
Shiiit, man. That honky mofo messin’ mah old lady–got to be runnin’ cold upside down his head, you know?
I think Musk should go to space. I’ll even donate to help make it happen! But it’s a one-way trip.
Let’s reunite him with his stupid car.
The car he stole from one of the actual founders of Tesla.
