Join Sara, Ren, & Zylla every other week to discuss Babylon 5 and Deep Space Nine. Two shows with similar ingredients, but different creative approaches. We're not looking at who did it better, but what we can discover when we put them in conversation with each other and with our present cultural climate.

I recently stumbled across Farscape on Pluto TV and my addiction took hold again. I then found the full series on Amazon Prime and have started binging.

Due to their insights, I am looking at each episode with a new perspective that I did not see before. It’s amazing to me how well this show has held up after nearly ... more
