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.

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.

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.

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. Finally, everyone discusses what they’d like to see in a reboot of the show, and whether they’d actually want to watch a reboot.

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.
