Babylon 5 - Heart of a Lion

***Spoilers!***




This is from the end of season 4 when Sheridan is captured by Earth Gov and is interrogated.

The interogation scenes and the parts where they try to break him are amazing. I love this particular scene - here you see his unbreakable will inspiring a Drazi prisoner not to give them what they want.

@ertyqwer though of course you also have to keep in mind that season 5 was a bit of compromise all along, due to the filming budget going back and forth. None of this was even supposed to happen in the original story, but then he had to wrap it all up in season 4, because he was told there won't be any funds to finish season 5 properly. And then he got the funding anyways, and had to quickly come up with something else to show.

@david10322 Babylon 5 was really high on drama. In reality it's far less dramatic, you don't have to be under threat of being physically interrogated and tortured and killed for this to have a point.

This isn't based in reality but what we want to be true. id rather cling to the idea then accept reality cause if you do why are you still breathing at all.

But in the real life he would be broken. All this philosophy is trash in real life

Once they break your spirit, and will, they've won. Hang on to your absolute hatred for your interrogators, it CAN give you strength.

This is my favorite episode in the whole series, not because it is pleasant to watch, but because it is one of the few treatments of torture on entertainment television that is realistic and at the same time unsympathetic. Bravo! If everybody watched this maybe the dialog on the matter in our country would be better.

One of the first indications of his decency of character.
