Story: The Illusion of Truth
Written By: J. Michael Straczynski
Season: 4
A reporter and news crew from ISN, the former news network that is now President Clark’s propaganda machine, try to sneak aboard the station. When their equipment is discovered when trying to get on the station, Sheridan decides to cooperate with a story, even though he knows it will probably all be turned around in the end.
I have to admit, I thought of ways to twist their words against them when they were giving the interviews. And alas, they were used against them. Maybe not all twisted in the way I assumed, but mostly. It is a decent episode that helps to start the changing gears of the series now that the Shadow War has ended and is all wrapped up. The obvious next step is to deal with the real repercussions of breaking away from President Clark and Earth.
The episode is decent, but kind of predictable. I was actually hoping the Garibaldi stuff might be more shocking, but it was kind of a letdown. So war with Earth is imminent, not a real surprise, it was kind of covered in the preceding episode.
NEXT TIME: Between Wars
