The White Rocket Babylon 5 Review Podcast

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."

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! Thanks to all of our patrons for making shows like this possible!

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.

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.

How close can Andy get to accurately guessing its P5 score?? Tune in and find out! Thanks to all of our patrons for making shows like this possible!
