Van Allen Plexico & Andy Fix, along with occasional guests, review the entire Babylon 5 series, plus the movies, Crusade series, novels, comics and more--with deep dives, humor, respect and a critical eye that still retains an enduring love for the material. They discuss each episode's Themes and Influences, Best Moments, Notes and Factoids, Guest Stars, and Episode Ratings and Evaluations, among other topics.
As of 2026, having completed reviews of nearly everything Babylon 5, they have expanded the podcast to include other favorite SF TV series, including Stargate Universe, Battlestar Galactica, Space: 1999 and much more!

Andy and Van take a brief break from B5 to check out 2 more episodes of Stargate Universe: the two-parter 104 "Darkness" and 105 "Light." How will Andy react, never having seen the show before?

Van and Andy are on the run from the Psi Cops! They've got 273 split personalities between them, and they're not afraid to use them!!
Join the lads this week as they break down this interesting one-off episode spotlighting good ol' "Al" and his two young protogees as they visit Babylon 5 in pursuit of a (stop us if you've heard this one before) renegade telepath. One of them liked it, the other... not so much. Join in as they dig into Psi Corps!

Andy and Van welcome Ta'Lon back to the station while buying Michael a drink or twelve. Ouch. Plus a discussion of exactly what type of governments the various B5 races actually have--and much more. It's a very fun episode of the podcast about a pretty darned good episode of the show!

Andy and Van have reached the conclusion of the Telepath Saga at last--and things go out with a bang! (I guess there WAS a Boom Tomorrow!) How did the lads feel the storyline ended? Did it elevate what came before, or should we dance on the ashes of Byron's severed dreams? Tune in and find out!!

Andy and Van escape from a long-forgotten prison cell underneath the Centauri Palace to bring you discussion of episode SOMETHING OR OTHER IN THE 500s (!!) better known as "A Tragedy of Telepaths." Just when you despaired of Season 5 getting good, this episode actually moves the needle back in the right direction!

Andy and Van barricade themselves inside the recording studio after demanding a planet just for Babylon 5 podcasters! Unfortunately, Sheridan and Delenn don't seem to think we deserve one! Meanwhile Londo and G'Kar take a road trip like Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, that ends with G'Kar once again sleeping on somebody's floor. It's "In the Kingdom of the Blind," where the one-eyed Narn is king!

Andy and Van purchase a section of the station in order to talk to dead people! Or really just to Andy's cat, who shows up partway through to punch Andy in the face. Repeatedly. For not liking Rebo and Zooty. Ok, maybe we made part of that up. But otherwise, it's a mercifully GOOD episode of Season 5! Join us!!

Andy and Van welcome Bester onto the station, to see if he will relieve them of some guests that have perhaps overstayed their welcome. Unfortunately, Sheridan demands that Lochley find a way to get rid of Bester (for now) instead. The episode concludes with Andy and Van singing a happy song about suffering and misery! Just kidding.

Andy and Van go off to Ranger Training Camp, but there's quite a steep Learning Curve between what they're expecting and what they end up with! Van has some strong words for Lochley, as well!
Here's the link I mentioned in the show, from Drazi Green. Possible spoilers!!! I haven't watched all of it yet but it talks about Byron in Season 5:
