S1E24 - Pour One Out for Maintbot

Episode(s) Discussed: S3E1 Matter of Honor S3E2 Convictions

In which we float the back-door pilot for Jude’s new parenting podcast, “Oh No, More Poop”. “Matter of Honor” features a station guest who is clearly unprepared for Londo’s fever prophecy dreams, Sheridan’s patented YOLO maneuver, and Londo and Morden negotiating joint custody of the galaxy in their divorce, plus the introductions of a new medlab set, a himbo, a U-wing tier ship, and the War Council Brunch Table. In “Convictions,” the Unabomber comes to the station, we marvel at Brother Theo’s majestic beard, and Lennier’s conversation in customs leaves us pondering why we miss the familiarity of public transit but not the actual experience.

S1E23 - In the Arms of the Vorlon

Episode(s) Discussed: S2E22 The Fall of Night and Season 2 Wrapup

In the arms of the Vorlon

flying through B5

a Centauri tried to explode you

so you jumped to perhaps stay alive

Delenn told Kosh to save you

the crowd saw him take flight

Now you're in the arms of the vorlon

May you find some answers here

“The Fall of Night” brings us Ana screaming about gravity, Justen speculating about similarities between Vorlons and Asari, and also... *fire bad*. In the season wrapup, the cast discuss the high and low points of the season, and answer burning questions including “how would you prepare your spoo?” and “who on B5 would make the best blind date?” (it’s G’Kar).

S1E22 - Desperate Times and Desperate Measures

Episode(s) Discussed: S2E20 The Long Twilight Struggle S2E21 Comes the Inquisitor

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.

S1E21 - Harold, They’re Lesbians

Episode(s) Discussed: S2E19 Divided Loyalties

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.

S1E20 - Which One’s the Flarn?

Episode(s) Discussed: S2E18 Confessions and Lamentations Content warning: Discussion of a virulent plague and denialism by the infected population

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.

S1E19 - A Station Full of Balls

Episode(s) Discussed: S2E16 In the Shadow of Z’Ha’Dum S2E17 Knives

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.

S1E18 - Warcrimes and Filmcrimes

Alt title: Jude hates News Crew episodes. Episode(s) Discussed: S2E14 There all the Honor Lies S2E15 And Now for a Word

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.

S1E17 - Tell Me About your Podcasting Portfolio

Episode(s) Discussed: S2E12 Acts of Sacrifice S2E13 Hunter, Prey

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.

S1E16 - Hereditary Jackassery

Episode(s) Discussed: S2E10 Gropos S2E11 All Alone in the Night

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.

S1E15 - The Babylon Project Fails

Episode(s) Discussed: S2E8 Race through Dark Places S2E9 Coming of Shadows

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.
