S1 Ep 22S1E22 - Desperate Times and Desperate Measures

E

In which Justen blows Ana’s and Jude’s minds. “The Long Twilight Struggle” features both quantum states of Londo’s morality, prompts a discussion of Bruce Boxleitner’s attractiveness in 1995, and provides us with a show moral: don’t play D&D with a Vorlon. In “Comes the Inquisitor,” Jack the Ripper fails upward to Vorlon middle management, G’Kar takes his Cassandra act to the streets (err, halls?) of the station, and we learn that while Justen is a murder fan this does not extend to serial killers.

S1 Ep 21S1E21 - Harold, They’re Lesbians

E

In which the Babpod Crew is joined by Adira Slattery, who can be found on twitter @AdiraSlattery. “Divided Loyalties” brings us lots of gay shit including discussions of queerbaiting and the narrative parallels between queerness and telepathy, Susan and Talia in wonderful matching silk nightwear, and Ana being wrong about Lord of the Rings.Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectHelp us keep the lights on via our Patreon!Justen can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

S1 Ep 20S1E20 - Which One’s the Flarn?

E

Content warning for discussion of a virulent plague and denialism by the infected population. In which Franklin behaves like a reasonable scientist (mostly). “Confessions and Lamentations” features Delenn hosting a ritual dinner while Lennier would have rather made Sheridan a peanut butter and flarn sandwich and called it a day, a Pak’ma’ra with pre-existing conditions, and the revelation that 5G killed the Markabs. More seriously, we discuss the uncomfortable prescience of this episode, Mira Furlan’s death, and the beauty to be found in unanswered questions.Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectHelp us keep the lights on via our Patreon!Justen can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

S1 Ep 19S1E19 - A Station Full of Balls

E

In which we coin the true name of the Shadows: the Z’Ha’Doomed. “In the Shadow of Z’Ha’Dum” features Garibaldi’s excessive use of velcro in his outfit, a top-10 GIF-able moment, and Justen explaining that the Coventry story is really just a myth. In “Knives” (out) Jude explains the mechanics of a swordfight while Ana explains the mechanics of baseball in an Allen cylinder, Franklin auditions for the role of “small town doctor on Supernatural just before the monster attacks”, and we contemplate precisely what “swords” were crossed in that Centauri duelling club.Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectHelp us keep the lights on via our Patreon!Justen can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

Jun 15, 20211h 13m

S1 Ep 18S1E18 - Warcrimes and Filmcrimes

E

In which we hold the first meeting of the General Hague Memorial Court. “There all the Honor Lies” features Sheridan and Lennier pretending to be in a Dirty Harry movie, Delenn perhaps being more aware of John’s personality than the writer, and our wondering whether humanity has evolved beyond Karens. In “And Now for a Word” the show tries to emulate Fox News but comes a lot closer to modern CNN, although with a reporter who gives off strong TERF vibes.Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectHelp us keep the lights on via our Patreon!Justen can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

S1 Ep 17S1E17 - Tell Me About your Podcasting Portfolio

E

In which we witness the Ivanova Sex Dance in all its glory. In “Acts of Sacrifice” we discuss three flavors of nonintervention (chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla), Ivanova shows us how to do it “Human Style,” and Londo can has a little socialization as a treat. “Hunter, Prey” features some solid Vorlon content, brings the cursed knowledge that Nutrigrain bars are still consumed in the future, and prompts a discussion of what Franklin would bring with him if Garibaldi invited him to a swinger party.Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectHelp us keep the lights on via our Patreon!Justen can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

S1 Ep 16S1E16 - Hereditary Jackassery

E

In which both Ivanova and Sheridan should be more genre-conscious when speaking in C&C. “GROPOS” teaches us what a swagger stick is, prompts resentment from Jude that Franklin gets decent content, and introduces “Alfredo Garibaldi”, the new Olive Garden pasta special. In “All Alone in the Night,” Delenn tells some halloween store Roswell Greys to get back to their mom’s basement, the man in-between is looking for Sheridan (although maybe not because of his official EarthForce resume), and the cast are very excited to see an analogue of nose art on the starfuries.

May 25, 20211h 8m

S1 Ep 15S1E15 - The Babylon Project Fails

E

In which we learn how many Minbari it takes to screw in a lightbulb. “Race through Dark Places” introduces a spicy new look for Delenn, Bester’s spam filter, and our confusion about what precisely the value of a credit is in this universe. In “Coming of Shadows” we discuss design considerations for ships that are black on slightly darker black, a cameo from Aragorn son of Arathorn (wait, wrong podcast, Jeffrey Sinclair), and the fact that EarthGov… Dome… Force… Alliance… really needs a style guide.

May 18, 20211h 12m

S1 Ep 14S1E14 - Londo Gets a Divorce

E

In which Delenn has a bad hair day. “Spider in the Web” features the introduction of an almost-himbo to the show, Franklin’s befuddlement at the concept of blood transfusions, and revelations that Justen is 100% pro-Muppet and Ana first learned the word “badinage” through B5. In “Soul Mates” we contemplate the implications of Londo’s wives being “Famine” “Pestilence” and “Death”, the awkwardness of explaining the birds and the bees to a human-Minbari hybrid, and the bizarre revelation that the Centauri have an Olympic Games. CW for discussion of sexual assault in the summary of “Soul Mates”, from 34:10 - 39:00.Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectHelp us keep the lights on via our Patreon!Justen can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

S1 Ep 13S1E13 - Strange Things from the Rim

E

Haha “Rim”. In which Franklin sucks. “A Distant Star” reminds us that we are all star stuff, highlights the more dubious aspects of hyperspace, and prompts regret that a Earth Alliance exploration ship was named the Cortés. In “The Long Dark”, we have a great performance from Dwight Schultz, an alien monster that really creeps out Ana, and the cast discuss the merits of just spacing Franklin as punishment for gross violations of medical ethics.Help us keep the lights on via our Patreon!Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectJusten can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

S1 Ep 12S1E12 - WIZARDS

E

In which we all love wizard shit so much that it gets its own standalone episode. In the B plot, the Drazi have a very strange notion of natural selection, and all look stunning in purple. In the beef, nay, the turducken of the episode, technomages make LARPing cool, Michael Ansara sticks the landing with his charisma and acting chops, and the cast speculate on whether technomages are the carcinization of magic.Content Warning for discussion of firearm suicide, 18:00 - 19:10Help us keep the lights on via our Patreon!Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectJusten can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

ISN Exclusive: Catherynne Valente

bonusE

In which the Podject crew are joined by a guest star: SFF author Cat Valente! Cat shares what she loves about B5 and why it means so much to her, in prose and poetry! She and the crew discuss the show broadly as well as Cat’s recent tweet thread on technology, the Nobel effect, space travel feasibility, Babylon 5, and sci-fi in general.

S1 Ep 11S1E11 - B5 Gets a New Boss

E

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.Help us keep the lights on via our Patreon!Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectJusten can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

S1 Ep 10S1E10 - Everything Goes to Hell

E

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.

S1 Ep 9S1E9 - Time Shenanigans

E

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.Help us keep the lights on via our Patreon!Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectJusten can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

S1 Ep 8S1E8 - The Planet... It’s Alive...

E

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.

S1 Ep 7S1E7 - Gawain and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

E

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.Fanfic with starfury telepath mentioned by Justen:@dragoncobolt on twitterhttps://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/babylon-5-copilots-starfury-pilot-quest.71826/Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectJusten can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

S1 Ep 6S1E6 - Londo Makes a New Friend

E

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.Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectJusten can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

S1 Ep 5S1E5 - The Hour of Scampering

E

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.Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectJusten can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

Mar 2, 202155 min

S1 Ep 4S1E4 - Virtual Reality Mind Games

E

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.Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectJusten can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

S1 Ep 3S1E3 - All (Psi)Cops Are Bastards

E

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.Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectJusten can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

S1 Ep 2S1E2 - Alien Fascist Bioweapons

E

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.Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectJusten can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.

S1 Ep 1S1E1 - Not Quite a Pilot

E

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.Connect with the show at @babylonpodjectJusten can be found at @justenwritesAna can be found at @The_Mianaai, and also made our show art.Both Ana and Justen can also be found on The Compleat Discography, a Discworld re-read podcast.Jude Vais can be found at @eremiticjude.
