Still, I've read what happens when you're exposed to hard vacuum. It's gruesome. One of the most horrifying deaths there is. I think only the cruelest of people deserve such a death - like sex abusers and murderers, people who torture others needlessly and get off on it. Other than that, this dude? Well, he committed a crime, sure, but spacing? OMG. Just lock him in jail for life! I get treason is bad, but spacing for treason seems... wrong...
I mean, pretty sure this dude WAS a murderer.
I mean, I agree vacuuming is wrong and horrid...but by your own logic, he deserves it.
So lock him up or execute him. Spacing I see as excessive punishment, too much for this kind of crime. Unless he pissed on the corpse or something. Which he didn't.

True... well, only specific kind of murderers. That looked damn near instantaneous with Garibaldi. If he'd died, there'd have been less pain than, say, a serial slasher. That dude would deserve spacing. I was trying to communicate that.

He was at the very least complicit in the murder of the President, as part of a plot to the new guy in power.
Chuck doesn't mention this but in a previous episode he also murdered three people and claimed it was self-defence.
I'd argue spacing would only count for Clark then. Not everyone involved on the lower tiers. Only those in the high tiers of the conspiracy.
Which three people? It's been a while since I was in Season 2.

Still, with a PPG, that's also quick. And I maintain it would be better to just shoot him or lock him up for life, and reserve spacing for those in the high tiers of Clark's conspiracy. Btw, why did I wanna type Trump instead of Clark instead? No, seriously, I wrote Trump and had to rewrite it.

Probably my favorite scene in all of B5, and that's saying something. An eloquent, maybe even flowery build-up, leading the listeners one way, then blunt three syllables to tell them they've ended up in a very different place. I'm really glad SFDebris put that in there.
Oh yes indeed. It shows what the Centauri truly are, what "making Centauri Prime great again" really entails.
