    S2x21 "Comes the Inquisitor"

    (00:00:00) Zocalo (01:10:33) Grey Council Jack the Ripper has arrived on Babylon 5, and the Vorlons sent him - this week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Ali, and Gus dive into Babylon 5 Season 2, Episode 21, "Comes the Inquisitor." The crew unpacks one of B5's most philosophically dense hours: ego death, the "Who are you?" vs. "What do you want?" dialectic, and what it means to act in service of something bigger than yourself. With two industry pros at the table, we dig into JMS's psychology-heavy script, the production notes behind the infamous East End/West End flub, Vir's apology scene and what a genuine "I'm sorry" actually costs you, and the Londo vs. Jack the Ripper comparison nobody expected to make - but absolutely had to. 🔗 Watch the reaction to this episode here ✨ Support us on Patreon for early access and full-length reactions: 👉 http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod

Jenn drops some craft knowledge on "trigger heaping" and why this episode is simultaneously an ending and a beginning. Also: Gus was under anesthesia today and is a hero for being here. 🔗 Watch the reaction to this episode here ✨ Support us on Patreon for early access and full-length reactions: 👉 http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod

    (00:00:00) Zocalo (00:54:26) Grey Council Monkey's paw episode, anyone? This week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Ali, and Gus dive into Babylon 5 Season 2 Episode 19, "Divided Loyalties." Lyta Alexander is back, a major character is gone (kind of), and it turns out the silk pajama sleepover was never just a sleepover. Jenn breaks down what JMS was building from the very beginning, Ali is furious and in denial, Gus almost gets canceled (again), and Jenny tries very hard not to steer too obviously while absolutely steering. 🔗 Watch the video version of this discussion here. ✨ Support us on Patreon for early access and full-length reactions: 👉 http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod

    S2E15 - "And Now For A Word"

    (00:00:00) Zocalo (00:55:19) Grey Council ISN has arrived on the station, and the "truth" is looking a little bit like a hatchet job – this week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Ali, and Gus dive into Babylon 5 Season 2, Episode 15, “And Now For a Word”. 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 Sheridan’s final monologue left the entire team in tears. 🔗 Watch the reaction to this episode here ✨ Support us on Patreon for early access and full-length reactions: 👉 http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod

    S2E14 "There All the Honor Lies"

    (00:00:00) Zocalo (00:56:29) Grey Council Industry secrets, "Deep Space" shade, and the return of Peter David—this week on Babble On, Jenny, Jenn, Ali, and Gus dive into Babylon 5 Season 2, Episode 14, “There All the Honor Lies.” 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 he’s becoming the heart of the station. 🔗 Watch the reaction to this episode here ✨ Support us on Patreon for early access and full-length reactions: 👉 http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod
