A very detailed and solid podcast that goes over episodes of Babylon 5 in a very formal and critical manner whilst still injecting some humour.

This podcast is fantastic. I am loving the opportunity to rewatch B5 and enjoy the commentary and insights of two experts of both B5 and the overall sci fi genre. The hosts are both knowledgeable and entertaining and I look forward to my regular dose of this excellent podcast.
