S1E8 - The Planet... It’s Alive...

Episode(s) Discussed: S1E17 Legacies S1E18-19 Voice in the Wilderness. Check out our new Patreon!

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.

S1E7 - Gawain and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Episode(s) Discussed: S1E15 Grail S1E16 Eyes

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.

S1E6 - Londo Makes a New Friend

Episode(s) Discussed: S1E13 Signs and Portents, S1E14 TKO

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.

S1E5 - The Hour of Scampering

Episode(s) Discussed: S1E9 Deathwalker S1E12 By Any Means Necessary

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.

S1E4 - Virtual Reality Mind Games

Episode(s) Discussed: S1E7 The War Prayer S1E8 And the Sky Full of Stars

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.

S1E3 - All (Psi)Cops Are Bastards

Episode(s) Discussed: S1E5 Parliament of Dreams S1E6 Mind War

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.

S1E2 - Alien Fascist Bioweapons

Episode(s) Discussed: S1E3 Born to the Purple, S1E4 Infection

Zathras notes: Due to some confusion over hyperdimensional coordinates, Justen was stuck at the edge of the Rim and had comms problems. Zathras regrets the error immensely.

In which we realize that some things, including Centauri secrets and alien artifacts, are better left buried. In “Born to the Purple”, we’re all shocked by Londo being a decent person, Justen shows off their mastery of Roman history trivia, and Jude has beef with data crystals. “Infection” is forgettably similar to contemporary sci-fi shows, but lets us all fantasize about Ivanova literally, as well as figuratively, slapping a nosy reporter.

S1E1 - Not Quite a Pilot

Episode(s) Discussed: S1E1 Midnight on the Firing Line, S1E2 Soul Hunter

In which we watch the first two episodes of B5 - but not the pilot. Don’t worry, we’ll explain. In “Midnight on the Firing Line”, we learn about Jude’s everlasting love and respect for G’Kar, Ivanova’s philosophy about chins in politics, and just what the heck “spoo” is. “Soul Hunters” brings us the first of many discussions about spirituality on B5, the introduction of running source of facepalms Doctor Franklin, and Ana’s excitement to see W. Morgan Sheppard as a creepy alien.

In memory of Mira Furlan

Okay, So: The Babylon Podject

Justen made the horrible mistake of livetweeting their first watchthrough of Babylon 5 where their friends could see. Ana and Jude summoned poor Zathras to the council chamber to edit the audio as the three friends watch (or rewatch) this classic 1990s JMS science fiction epic. No, you're not stuck in a time vortex, this is the Babylon Podject. Full episodes start January 26.
