S1E9 "Deathwalker" War criminals, immortality serums, and some classic Vorlon nonsense—oh my! In this episode of Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, and Gus delve into the ethically tangled Babylon 5 episode “Deathwalker.” We tackle the political chaos sparked by Jha’dur’s arrival, the uneasy alliance of former enemies, and that big philosophical question: would you take the serum? Gus is still recovering from Hat Man™, Jenn dissects the episode’s bold narrative risks and allegorical layering, and Jenny wonders just how many people on this station are ready to sell their soul for eternal youth. And of course, we all have thoughts about Kosh’s cryptic final move. 🔗 Watch the video reaction to this episode https://youtu.be/hug9BdJFB0k:          ✨ Support us on http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpodfor early access and full-length reactions:         👉 http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod Thanks for joining us on the station—whether you’re a first-time viewer or an old Narn soul.

S1E8 "And The Sky Full of Stars" Sinclair’s missing memories, shady interrogators, and trauma lighting—oh my! In this episode of Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, and Gus unpack the mind-bending Babylon 5 episode “And the Sky Full of Stars.” We explore the layers of Sinclair’s PTSD, the weird dream interrogation chair (complete with overly dramatic lighting); and Gus is on high alert, theorizing about government conspiracies and psychic manipulation, while Jenn points out noir influences and symbolic lighting. Jenny, meanwhile, wonders if these are noble cheekbones... or villainous ones. 🔗 Watch the video reaction to this episode https://youtu.be/1NJ0PEtsmS8 ✨ Support us on Patreon for early access and bonus content:         👉 http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod  Thanks for joining us on the station—whether you’re a first-time viewer or an old Narn soul.

Season 1 Episode 3 Born to the Purple Welcome to BABBLE ON – a Babylon 5 podcast! Join re-watchers Jenny and Jenn, and first-time viewers Ali and Gus, as they embark on a voyage through J. Michael Straczynski's epic science fiction series! This week, we discuss Season 1, Episode 3 – “Born to the Purple.” There’s romance in the air as Londo falls for a mysterious dancer named Adira — a subplot that wins over our crew, thanks in no small part to that dress.  Meanwhile, Ivonova faces a deeply personal loss, and Garibaldi hovers awkwardly on the fringes. 📺 To watch our LIVE REACTION to the episode on YouTube, click https://youtu.be/X4IITVp8kuY: Follow us on https://bsky.app/profile/babbleonpod.bsky.social

Also: they met the new doctor and immediately fell in love. 🩺💫
