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 just have to find that one word to say, that will make this episode of the podcast go better. They will leave it to you, the listener, to decide if things totally go off the rails this week, instead! It's the very long podcast of Londo Mollari!
Here's the audio interview (thanks, Emmanuel!) with the designers of the Sierra computer game for Babylon 5, right after it was canceled:

No, you haven't missed an episode! We promise!
As we have discussed in probably WAY too much detail, the numbering goes all kerflooey at this point in the series. So "502" is the first episode of Season 5.
Anyway! This time around, Andy and Van finally embark for the last full season of Babylon 5, where they meet Captain Lochley and "Remember Byron" again for the first time. How well does this one hold up? How close can Andy get to accurately guessing its P5 score?? Tune in and find out!

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!

Andy and Van travel to Thirdspace to get the lowdown on--and deliver judgment on--the first of the TNT B5 movies to be filmed, prior to Season 5. This podcast is just one of many Vorlon mistakes!

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...)
