  • There's Nothing Like the First Time

    I came across this incredible podcast on YouTube, and I'm so glad I did. As someone who watched Babylon 5 way back when it first aired, I'm seperated from my first watching experience by decades. Listening to Brent and Jeff go through the series for the first time, hearing their thoughts, comments, guesses, and predictions has been such wonderful nostalgia. more

  • Rousing team of reviewers

    I’m a watcher from the very beginning of the series and I have watched all of the sequels and read the novels. The insights that the guys express fascinate me and I look forward to each episode dropping. I hope that they will cover all of the material including Crusade!

  • Show that perfectly fuses B5 & Star Trek

    I’ve been a longtime fan of both B5 and Trek. Brent and Jeff do a great job of introducing B5 to new viewers while helping longtime fans like me relive the excitement we felt watching the series more than 25 years ago. Their links to Trek show both franchises can coexist harmoniously. I’m doing a slow rewatch of B5 and it’s been great hearing their perspective of Season 3, which I consider to be the best season of sci-fi of any show. I heartily recommend the pod.

  • Great way to watch and rewatch the show!

    Two veteran Star Trek podcasters take a stab at watching Babylon 5 spoiler-free. Predictably, they become fans of the show. Jeff Akin and Brent Allen comment their impressions on each of Babylon 5's 110 episodes (they're in mid-season 4 now) and draw connections to their life experiences and to that other space franchise we're not supposed to talk about. A refreshing view of the series, even for someone like myself, who's rewatched B5 quite a couple of times since it first aired in the 90s.

  • Akin and Allen’s Discovery Experience

    Jeff Akin and Brent Allen openly and honestly reflect on their own experience while watching the science fiction series Babylon 5 for the first time, and it’s a bit disappointing. I’ve been saying for years that Babylon 5 is the best TV series ever written, for a whole host of reasons. Now that these podcasters are midway through the 4th season, I (SciFiGrandma), need to rethink my 5-star rating. They made a big deal about a giveaway several months ago, and then never followed up. It is also bi... more
