Monday Dec 11, 2023
Andy and Van go all the way back to THE BEGINNING to review the first-aired TNT B5 movie that shows us how the story began prior to the events of Season 1--including tying John Sheridan into the earlier events. With a budget more than three times the usual episode cost, this movie aimed to bring in new viewers for TNT. Did it work? Do the lads still like this movie? Find out!

Monday Oct 09, 2023
Andy and Van arrive at the end of Season 4, with the special "replacement episode JMS produced to take the place of Sleeping in Light, which was moved to the end of Season 5. It's the MacLaughlin Group in Space!! Jack Germondo!! NEXT ISSUE!!
(We have numbered this one 422 here, for purposes of it making as much sense as possible, relative to the rest of the series. But it's actually more like 510. Or something...)
