Capital Punishment and Cards

What do you get when you mix capital punishment, an alien energy transfer device, and a Centauri playing cards with certain parts of his anatomy? You get “The Quality of Mercy,” the episode we discuss in this episode of Babble for Five. The former topics on the death-y side provoke moral questions on everything from Earth’s justice system to what it means to be a healer in 2258. On the latter side, we have the odd couple of Londo and Lennier stirring up trouble in the casino.
