Sooner or Later, Everyone Comes to Babylon 5 For The First Time

Babylon 5 debuted when I was 8 years old. Having only experienced with TOS and TNG through reruns at the time, it was the first major sci-fi series I got to experience live during its original run. It holds a special place for me as THE formative sci-fi show in my life. I say this to underscore that, when I decided to pick a podcast to accompany one of my regular rewatches of the show, I didn’t do so lightly.

Following Brent and Jeff as they experience B5 for the first time is reigniting my love for the series all over again. Seeing their excitement as the characters, themes, and rhythms of the show’s storytelling click into place brings a fresh perspective that both reinforces what I’ve always loved about the show and challenges things I’ve come to take for granted.

I don’t know what your podcast… pleasure threshold is, but if you want to test that look no further!
