Babylon 5 vs. Deep Space Nine-"Race Through Dark Places" vs. "Defiant"

Race thru Dark Places S2E7(25 Jan 95) vs. Defiant S3E9 (21 Nov 94)

-A couple of cool alternative history novels that incorporate modern technology in Underground Railroad narratives are Colson Whitehead Underground Railroad (2016) & Ishmael Reed Flight to Canada (1976). Bob read the Whitehead after our recording & digs it. He hasn’t read the Reed yet but really digs his Yellow Back Radio Broke-Down (1969) & Mumbo Jumbo (1977)

-The group telepathy scene does seem to anticipate JMS’s concerns in Sense8 (2015-8)

-Bob’s ranking of Riker guest spots: Voyager, Lower Decks, Deep Space 9, Picard, & Enterprise
