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.

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.
