S2E15 - "And Now For A Word"
ISN has arrived on the station, and the "truth" is looking a little bit like a hatchet job โ this week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Ali, and Gus dive into Babylon 5 Season 2, Episode 15, โAnd Now For a Wordโ.
The crew breaks down the groundbreaking documentary-style episode that gave us our first look at the station from the outside. We discuss the terrifyingly relevant world of interstellar propaganda, the horrifying "subliminal" Psi Corps commercials, and the deep dive into Jungian psychology that had Gus and Ali questioning the very nature of humanity. With three industry pros at the table, we analyze the "60 Minutes" aesthetic, the use of early drone-camera tech, and why Sheridanโs final monologue left the entire team in tears.+4

Industry secrets, "Deep Space" shade, and the return of Peter Davidโthis week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Ali, and Gus dive into Babylon 5 Season 2, Episode 14, โThere All the Honor Lies.โ
In this episode, we explore the "Pink Elephant" writing trick and the hilariously pointed dig at a certain other deep space franchise. The crew debates if Sheridan's "Black Star" tactics constitute a war crime , while Londo faces the ultimate indignity: a lack of "attributes" on his official merchandise. We also share a touching look at the history of the actor behind Zach Allen and why heโs becoming the heart of the station.

S2E13 "Hunter Prey"
Psychology, 90s noir vibes, and a space station manhunt for a "Space Snowden" - this week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Ali, and Gus discuss Babylon 5 Season 2, Episode 13, "Hunter, Prey". Itโs a race against EarthForce to find a fugitive doctor, but between Koshโs singing ship and a "creepy" lesson in Vorlon philosophy, things get weirdly existential.
Ali and Gus dive into a deep-dive theory on Jungian psychology and the "hedonic treadmill" of desire , Jenny shares a legendary (and unrelated) middle school story , and the crew highlights the "inside baseball" of 90s sci-fi props and production quirks. Also: Kosh lore, the return of the "Trash Jim" presidency, and why everyone on the station seems to be a Jeffling.

S2E12 "Acts of Sacrifice"
Delenn gets kicked out of the Grey Council, Londo spirals deeper into war criminal territory, and Ivanova engages in the most uncomfortable diplomatic mission in Babylon 5 history - this week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Ali, and Gus discuss one of the most tonally whiplash episodes of the series.
The crew dissects the episode's jarring duality: 90% is devastatingly poignant (Delenn reclaiming her authority through violence, the ethics of using civilians as shields, Londo's tragic refusal to make better choices), while 10% is... thatย scene. JMS's writing choices get scrutinized, Claudia Christian's commitment to the bit gets praised, and the cast debates whether you can separate a character's likability from their war crimes.

Ali goes full research mode on raven and dove symbolism, Jungian shadow selves, and biblical references to Elijah and the Hand of God. We decode "the man in between," discuss Ivanova's telepath moment, and celebrate the formation of the resistance against President Clark โ all while questioning why this episode's structure feels so weird despite its incredible foreshadowing.
