In which B5 throws a victory party, but no one is really having a great time, as we discuss "Epiphanies". Then Jude pitches a fit about having to watch another journalism episode in "The Illusion of Truth". Topics (relevant and otherwise) in this episode include: G'kar body cavities, Garibaldi's lack of fashion sense, Sailor Moon Villains, Franklin Sucks, Franklin Sucks Again, and the uncomfortable similarities between ISN and Fox News.

In which Justen valiantly attempts to get through summarizing the end of the Shadow War in "Into The Fire" with a minimum of interruptions from Jude about Sheridan's love of war crimes, theories about Morden's origins, and how John and Delenn christen the White Stars. We also complain about depictions of telepathy and compliment B5's prop department.

Content Warning: discussion of suicide and parental death

In which Ana gets momentarily too real for Jude and Justen as we cover "The Long Night". This episode includes: the impending apocalyptic battle, a baby Bryan Cranston, and of course, regicide. Also, the continuation of the Jesus metaphor and discussion of active camouflage in murder weapons.

In which we cover "The Summoning," where we discuss Ivanova's Duolinguo courses, Jude and Justen argue about Top Gun, and JMS makes two Jesus stories in the same episode. In "Falling Towards Apotheosis," we discuss the architectural need for a murder hall, talk about the most awkward marriage proposal, and Londo makes an offhand comment that leads to disastrous consequences. Also, do Zoomers know what collect calls are?

In which we begin season 4 with “The Hour of the Wolf". Everything is falling apart except Ivanova’s late night fashion sense and Ana’s Lytvanova ship. In “Whatever happened to Mr. Garibaldi” we talk human political philosophy, Narn haberdashery, and discuss what's less erotic, an 8 foot portrait of Daffy Duck-- or Michael Garibaldi.

It's the Babbies! The group takes a break to abuse poor Zathras and force them to award "prizes" in various categories as we look back on three seasons of Babylon 5.

In which the question “how long can one of Jude’s summaries go?” is asked and answered as we discuss “Z’ha’dum”, featuring a lengthy debate about Sheridan’s love of warcrimes. We meet both his and his actor’s wife, and dive into the extremely shallow waters of the Shadows’ moral and political philosophy. Jude rants about the origin of telepaths, Justen expounds about 90s neoliberalism, and the gang talks about the toll that writing two seasons of TV in a row took on JMS.

In which the crew have varied opinions regarding the merits of blue Centauri jello cubes. “The Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place” features historical context for hiding things in hollowed-out bibles (although not for unlabeled data crystals), Vir’s continuing bad luck in elevators, and some headcanons regarding the Narn language. In “Shadow Dancing,” we get some great Ivanova/Marcus content, the crew ponders why there are Earth tourists on B5 and how air miles work in the future, and we propose that the reason for all the waxed chests on B5 is that G’Kar is an extremely sexy trendsetter.

In which Garibaldi fights a Gorn. “Walkabout” introduces a new Vorlon who may just be Mr. Sinister, gives the disheartening information that the American medical system persists to 2260, posits that Swedish Meatballs are the carcinization of food, and prompts an in-depth discussion about Foundationalism’s relationship to the concept of “walkabout” and Australian aboriginal people. In “Grey 17 is Missing”, we are sorely disappointed that a great Marcus plot is paired with a godawful Garibaldi plot, that Robert Englund’s physical acting abilities are sorely underused here, and that Franklin is bad enough at computer security that he doesn’t even put his secret files in the “porn” folder.

Ana finally succumbed to peer pressure and binge watched... then binge rewatched... Ted Lasso and sent up the Babpod Signal to talk about it. Scott Paladin joins the regular crew to discuss our favorite parts of the show, the ways in which it manipulates tropes and viewer expectations, and our predictions for the rest of Season 2. For listeners who haven't watched the show, this episode is officially All Spoilers No Warnings, so you may want to skip this recording if you don't want to be spoiled. So much so that Scott guest-edited the episode, as Aaron had not watched the show at the time of recording!

Scott can be found on twitter @scottpaladin and online at scottpaladin.com, as cohost on the Monster Mechanics Podcast @monstermpod and monsterpod.org, and as writer/director/editor on the Breathing Space, Fading Frontier audio drama @BreathingXSpacebreathingspace.lawofnames.com.
