In which the phrase “real honest-to-god hot water shower” is first spoken. “Points of Departure” brings us a Minbari experiment with the latest in mall ninja fashion, Keffer challenging Fred Jones for the title of “sexy ascot man”, and our extreme enthusiasm about Sheridan’s dork dad energy. In “Revelations”, Sheridan’s sister is a huge buzzkill, Ana rants about the costumers’ choices for Delenn’s hair, and we are all deeply disappointed by Garibaldi’s survival.

In which we reach our first season finale, and woof it’s a big one. In “Chrysalis”, Delenn evolves into Metapod, G’Kar lays some serious pipe, and the cast questions why the station has a hedge maze. Afterward, we look back at Season 1 and forward at Season 2. Plus, we answer some audience questions, including a broader speculation about alien genitalia and whether it’s truly “pipe” that G’Kar is laying.

In which we learn that Jude has strong feelings about Doctor Franklin. “Babylon Squared” brings us the show’s first, but certainly not last, foray into time travel, the introduction of the eponymous Zathras, and Ana saying “It’s just a real good episode” way too many times. In “Quality of Mercy”, we see a Centauri dick cheat at cards… and also his penis, explore the darker implications of the role of telepaths in the B5 universe, and share in a well-deserved round of dunking on Doctor Franklin.

In which Justen sings the Hokey Pokey and we are all reminded that Ivanova is God. “Legacies” features Delenn being surprisingly bad at corpse heist planning, MedLab peons drawing straws for Pak’Ma’Ra stomach-pumping duty, and Jude contemplating throwing cold spaghetti at Neroon. In “Voice in the Wilderness,” Londo pilots a shuttle like a small child playing Mario Kart, the introduction of Draal cosmically balances out Neroon, and Jude’s consolation prize for no G’Kar content is a discussion of Tolkein.

In which OH MY GOD THAT’S JEFFREY COOMBS’ MUSIC! “Grail” features the introduction of Centauri Dickmonsters, and prompts us to speculate about both whether the Babylon Project is a massive money laundering scheme, and whether male pattern baldness makes Centauri more aerodynamic. In “Eyes”, Ben Zayn rivals only Bester in sheer punchability, Harriman Gray is the universe’s slimiest kicked puppy, and Lennier builds a sex symbol.

In which we reach the eponymous episode for the first season. “Signs and Portents” features the fabled Centauri bedazzled MacGuffin, Delenn moonlighting as Sting (sword, not musician), and our first sighting of, in Justen’s immortal words, “That John Travolta-Looking Motherfucker”. “TKO” has truly the highest highs and lowest lows of the season, but reassures us all that Zima’s popularity persists to the 23rd century.

In which we skip two episodes because honestly we had nothing good to say about either of them. “Deathwalker” brings us Operation Space Paperclip, a reference to the ancient Earth technology known as a “VCR”, and our nostalgia that this show came from a time when punching Nazis was morally unambiguous. “By Any Means Necessary” features an exciting new look for Sinclair, Justen explaining teacher union contracts, and Garibaldi “oink”ing softly into the night.

In which we voice the praises of D.C. Fontana, a true sci-fi TV writing legend, and Jude and Ana definitely don’t plot Justen’s demise. “The War Prayer” begins the B5 tradition of awful exes, plus Vir is better over email and Delenn gives off strong distinguished queer vibes. “And The Sky Full of Stars” prompts Justen to ask if Sinclair is a Minbari plant, Ana to question why they’re using VR to go into someone’s mind when there’s perfectly good telepaths right there, and Jude to marvel at Doctor Franklin not being awful.

In which the cast delves into critique of both music and bulk goods food concessions. In “Parliament of Dreams” we admire G’Kar’s magical pipes and Michael O’Hare’s memorization skills, and deeply regret the lack of romantic chemistry between Sinclair and Sakai and its accompanying soft porn soundtrack. “Mind War” brings us WALTER KOENIG as our new favorite villain, a Zathras-abusing number of Stargate SG-1 references, and the unfortunate knowledge of just what it’s like when telepaths make love.
