This is an episode entirely about lunch time and sandwiches, and definitely not about devastating betrayal, genocidal conspiracies, ongoing mind control, disturbing psychological torture, and fundamental reckonings with the nature of perception and truth.

Magellan's roommate Charlie joins us once again for a Babylon 5 film commentary! This week, we watched Thirdspace and recorded our commentary of it!

Babylon 5 4.07 "Epiphanies" & 4.08 "The Illusion of Truth" | Chatzylon 5 42 30.06.2019 1:32:12

It's FINALLY Zack Allan's time to shine as Babylon 5 takes a few episodes to reset the board. Lyta's a character now, Garibaldi's probably next up on the doomed list, and the best "news crew comes to B5" episode yet prompts a wonderful discussion about the showrunners' opinions on journalists and propaganda. All this and more this week...on Chatzylon 5. Our viewing order for Chatzylon 5,...

Babylon 5 4.05 "The Long Night" & 4.06 "Into the Fire" | Chatzylon 5 41 23.06.2019 1:40:42

Season 4 of Babylon 5 refuses to let off the gas for even a hot second this week, and the Chatz kids are still here for the ride! In a pair of episodes that feel very much like a series finale, our hosts discuss the moral implications of the Shadow War, the way Vir's reaction to seeing Morden somewhat let us down, and just where the show could possibly be going with so many episodes left. Our view...

Garibaldi's BACK in action, Sheridan's BACK to his old tricks, and Josh is FULLY canceled in a thrilling pair of Babylon 5 episodes this week. Enjoy our musings, would you?

Season 4 of Babylon 5 is off to a THRILLING start, and those dang nasty Chatz kids can't get enough of it! THIS, dear listener, is the show people told us we were watching.

Babylon 5 Season 3 Recap | Chatzylon 5 38 04.06.2019 1:24:32

With one of the busiest seasons of Babylon 5 under our belts, it's time to recap, re-examine, and re-categorize Season 3! As we move into the back end of this show, I just want to say thank you to all of our listeners for sticking around, old and new. As the Patreon has begun to finally pick up some momentum, we really love to see people still checking out the show for the first time. You're all a...

Babylon 5 3.21 "Shadow Dancing" & 3.22 "Z'Ha'Dum" | Chatzylon 5 37 26.05.2019 1:14:46

Franklin’s sassy twin Frunklin teaches us all about...something, Justin breaks our brains in half, and the Shadows have some sort of ideology! Season 3 recap next week should help us make sense of this whacky show.

Babylon 5 3.20 "And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place" | Chatzylon 5 36 19.05.2019 1:15:38

Hey folks! Before we even hit record on this episode, we realized that we'd rather do a meaty one episode discussion this week than force two quick ones in, especially during such a crucial part of the show. Also scheduling is hard! Regardless, please enjoy this deep dive into one of Babylon 5's best, most intense episodes to date. Our viewing order for Chatzylon 5: tinyurl.com/chatzseason6 Please...

Babylon 5 3.18 "Walkabout" & 3.19 "Grey 17 is Missing" | Chatzylon 5 35 12.05.2019 1:16:24

Franklin's walkabout turns into yet another romantic tragedy, "Kosh" is "back", and the Minbari B plot is exponentially better than Garibaldi's adventures in the oft-maligned "Grey 17 is Missing" this week...on Chatzylon 5!

Listener and patron Marcus comes on the show to discuss Londo's amazing teardown speech in "Ceremonies of Light and Dark" in our first segment, and Vir is the star of the show in "Sir Transit Vir".

This week's Babylon 5 episodes prove that filler does not mean bad this season! "A Day in the Strife" elicits a great discussion about imperialism and the different ways to rebel, and listener Stefan brings his Christian upbringing to our discussion of the wonderful "Passing Through Gethsemane".

Chatzylon 5 Season 3 has BEGUN. A new fancy British man joins the crew, the pieces are set, and...apparently a Unabomber plotline is appropriate on this sci-fi show. Sure Babylon 5, I'm gonna roll with you on this.
