Doxacast Remix
Darmok and Jalad on the Ocean
Our Babylon 5 panel was stunned in its previous episode to learn that Maggie had never seen the classic Star Trek: TNG episode “Darmok.” Now, along with “Maggie, her eyes uncovered,” part of our panel reconvenes to discuss Darmok… and Maggie’s response. Join us as we recount Captain Dathon’s faith and hope as he puts his life on the line to establish communication (and maybe communion?) between two races that communicate in mutually unintelligible ways. Frequently counted in TNG Top 10 lists, Darmok gives a masterclass in acting with an often opaque script.
