We're reacting to Babylon 5 Season 2 Episode 10, "Gropos" (Ground Pounders), and NOTHING could have prepared us for this emotional gut punch. Dr. Franklin's estranged military dad shows up, 25,000 Earth Force Marines take over the station, and Dodger steals our hearts before JMS rips them out. In this reaction, the Babble On crew watches as General Franklin brings his toxic parenting AND a secret military operation to B5. We meet Dodger (we love her), get invested in Warren Keffer (finally!), and watch Garibaldi maybe-kinda-sorta catch feelings. But this episode isn't about romance, it's about the cost of war, father-son trauma that hits WAY too close to home, and why you should NEVER trust a character who mentions their wife back home. Our showrunner Jenn breaks down the screenwriting brilliance of introducing expendable characters we actually care about. Actor Gus points out the PS2 graphics on those ships (listen, it was the 90s). Writer Ali connects Dr. Steve's daddy issues to "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" (we see you, book club). And superfan Jenny? She knew this was coming and watched us suffer anyway. From "strokin'" slang to sacrifice, from General Doctor Dad to devastating final shots—this episode proves Babylon 5 isn't just sci-fi, it's prestige television before prestige television existed. RIP to Dodger, Yang, and everyone who said "when I get back." You deserved better. #Babylon5 #Gropos #SciFiReaction #BabbleOn #EarthForceMarines ✅ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@LezbiNerdy/?sub_confirmation=1 👉 Patreon (Early Access): https://patreon.com/babbleonpod 🎧 Audio Podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/babble-on--6550347 👉 Discord: https://discord.gg/mxYdyRk 👉 Bluesky (Jenny): https://bsky.app/profile/lezbinerdy.bsky.social 👉 Bluesky (Podcast): https://bsky.app/profile/babbleonpod.bsky.social 📩 Business: lezbinerdy@gmail.com 👉 Babylon 5 Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLY2pS1hgfF7m_JqDQsu3KCynwGYVtHbQn 👉 Star Trek Picard Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLY2pS1hgfF7l6iw7LmixsKBNZBQnWtMkP 👉 X-Men 97 Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLY2pS1hgfF7nXkHUQcPQoU3V7iOX13sSS
