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, โ€œAnd 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 Sheridanโ€™s final monologue left the entire team in tears.+4 ๐Ÿ”— Watch the reaction to this episode https://youtu.be/-eTlm7zZShQ โœจ Support us on Patreon for early access and full-length reactions: ๐Ÿ‘‰ http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod

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 heโ€™s becoming the heart of the station. ๐Ÿ”— Watch the reaction to this episode https://youtu.be/mhqdOmpHrVA โœจ Support us on Patreon for early access and full-length reactions: ๐Ÿ‘‰ http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod

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". Itโ€™s a race against EarthForce to find a fugitive doctor, but between Koshโ€™s 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. ๐Ÿ”— Watch the reaction https://youtu.be/SbkhQjwBjZ8.ย  โœจ Support us on Patreon for early access and full-length reactions: ๐Ÿ‘‰ http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod

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. ๐Ÿ”— Watch the reaction https://youtu.be/Cu0DCxgCvrM. โœจ Support us on Patreon for early access and full-length reactions: ๐Ÿ‘‰ http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod

S2E10 "Gropos" War comes to Babylon 5 this week as Jenny, Jenn, Ali, and Gus dive into Season 2, Episode 10, โ€œGropos.โ€ What starts as a familiar ground-pounder story quickly turns into one of the showโ€™s most devastating episodes. The crew breaks down how Gropos uses classic war tropes to lull the audience into a false sense of security, why the guest characters work so well so fast, and how JMS makes the cost of war feel painfully real. With three industry pros at the table, we dig into performance choices, structure, and why this episode hits harder than anyone expects. ๐Ÿ”— Watch the reaction to this episode https://youtu.be/U0AohB4bvtU โœจ Support us on Patreon for early access and full-length reactions: ๐Ÿ‘‰ http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod

Londo said โ€œbetโ€, Gโ€™Kar felt feelings, Kosh said ONE SENTENCE and changed our brain chemistry.

Also? Jeff.

S2E8 "A Race Through Dark Places" Psi Corps is here, consent is optional, and suddenly everyone is VERY uncomfortable - this week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Ali, and Gus dive into Babylon 5 Season 2, Episode 8, โ€œA Race Through Dark Places.โ€ The crew breaks down Besterโ€™s deeply unsettling debut, the moral horror of telepath control, and why this episode quietly reframes everything we thought we knew about EarthGov. With three industry pros at the table, we analyze how JMS uses sci-fi to interrogate power, fascism, and complicity, while Gus and Ali experience the full psychic damage of this storyline for the first time. ๐Ÿ”— Watch the reaction to this episode https://youtu.be/_HvOso2B4nc โœจ Support us on Patreon for early access and full-length reactions: ๐Ÿ‘‰ http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod

Did we just connect #Babylon5 to Growing Pains via a character named "Boner"? ๐Ÿคฏ Yes.

Meanwhile, Ivanova is officially the best hairstylist in the galaxy and we are OBSESSED with her salon skills. ๐Ÿ’‡โ€โ™€๏ธโœจ
