    Storyline

    Edit
    Captain Lochley now has solid proof that Garibaldi is a disaster magnet: when he comes to the station to meet with one of his new company's subordinates, she's being sued by the owner of an illegal virtual reality "holo-brothel" and besieged by Soul Hunters looking for one of their soul vessels, this one containing the souls of the long-lost Ralga alien species. —Jeff Cross <blackjac_1998@yahoo.com>

    • Quotes

      Michael Alfredo Garibaldi: [when the first Soul Hunter ship arrives] All I know is the only time they show up is when someone's about to die.

      Zack Allen: [Zack coughs] I just have a dry spot in my throat from the air conditioning. I feel fine! Stop looking at me like that!

    Fun little stand alone film
    Okay, I kinda loved this one. I was weird and a bit experimental. Not like, "twin peaks the revival" experimental, but it tried some things. It was off beat, cheesy. A lot of weird CGI worlds and stuff which is always fun! The brothel was aesthetic for sure, probably not what holographic brothels are gonna look like but seems like a plausible thing. Also, you learn more about the Soul Hunters, which if I recall correctly, are the only things that really grind Delenns gears. And I think that was season 1. I love it when they take deeper looks into races that, you know they wanted to, but just wasn't pertinent to true overall plots. But yeah, if you go into this just expecting something cool, fun, weird, and just want to see a few friendly faces and adorable bald heads, then you should enjoy this
