Season 1

S1E36 - Might As Well Jump

Episode(s) Discussed: Z’ha’dum

In which the question “how long can one of Jude’s summaries go?” is asked and answered as we discuss “Z’ha’dum”, featuring a lengthy debate about Sheridan’s love of warcrimes. We meet both his and his actor’s wife, and dive into the extremely shallow waters of the Shadows’ moral and political philosophy.

S1E37 - Hungry like the Narn

The Hour of the Wolf and Whatever Happened to Mr Garibaldi?

In which we begin season 4 with “The Hour of the Wolf". Everything is falling apart except Ivanova’s late night fashion sense and Ana’s Lytvanova ship. In “Whatever happened to Mr. Garibaldi” we talk human political philosophy, Narn haberdashery, and discuss what's less erotic, an 8 foot portrait of Daffy Duck-- or Michael Garibaldi.

S1E40 - Nuclear Tentacle Envy

Episode covered: Into the Fire

In which Justen valiantly attempts to get through summarizing the end of the Shadow War in "Into The Fire" with a minimum of interruptions from Jude about Sheridan's love of war crimes, theories about Morden's origins, and how John and Delenn christen the White Stars. We also complain about depictions of telepathy and compliment B5's prop department.

S1E42 - Model of a Modern Minbar Warcriminal
