THE SERIES WRAP-UP

I could rehash a lot of the show, here… or go into more detail about various minutiae concerning editing, or scheduling. Or try to find a more gripping insight not stated in the show itself, or in our podcast.

 

Where are we now, as opposed to FIVE YEARS ago? Well, Nick has a very different job, Jinny and I have a rapidly growing toddler/preschooler, and Life Itself Goes On. 🙂

 

But that’s kind of the Meaning of Life, as stated  by author Spider Robinson: Do the Next Thing. The story’s never over, and the journey never ends. Thank you for taking THIS journey with us. 🙂

EPISODE 123 – TV MOVIE: River of Souls

A human, digging where he shouldn’t, finds a crypt full of shining spheres, and steals one containing the essence of an entire civilization. Escaping attack, the archeologist flees to Babylon 5, with Soul Hunters hot on his heels! Meanwhile, Zach must deal with a holobrothel in Downbelow, defended by a snarky owner, and an even snarkier lawyer. In his quarters, the lost souls begin to exert control over the archeologist, and through him, the station’s reactor! Lochley, Garibaldi, and Zach must work with a Soul Hunter, a species not seen since early Season One, to contain the mad souls before they blow up the station to set themselves free! We think EVERYone needs a Love Bat(tm), this week, on Jumpgate!

EPISODE 122 – Sleeping In Light

Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. There would never be another. It changed the future. And it changed *us*.

It taught us that we have to create the future, or others will do it for us.

It showed us that we have care for one another, because if we don’t, who will? And that true strength sometimes comes from the most unlikely places.

Mostly, though, I think it gave us hope, that there can always be new beginnings…

even for people like us.

EPISODE 119 – The Wheel of Fire

G’Kar returns to Babylon 5 and a teeming mass of his fellow Narn await him – philosophy groupies wanting to sit at his feet… and then hoist him WAY up over their heads. They even have *action figures*! Meanwhile, Garibaldi’s drinking finally collapses into it’s inevitable outcome: professional censure. President Sheridan puts his wayward Head of ISA Intelligence on ice pending Garibaldi getting his shit together. Meanwhile Lyta’s anti-PsiCorps efforts, funded by G’Kar’s money, have been traced back to the station, and it’ll take Sheridan’s quick-draw skills (and a quick right hook by Lochley) to pin her down… but for how long? G’Kar finds a solution to his relentless fame, Garibaldi is spiritually bodyslammed by Lochley in a lift, Lyta wears a sexy straightjacket in a cell (for now), and the mechanisms of the final pieces of the great series arc begin to click into place… This week on Jumpgate!

EPISODE 117 – Movements of Fire and Shadow

As the major Alliance fleets pressure Sheridan to attack Centauri Prime in retaliation for their now-proven unprovoked raids, Delenn is sent to Minbar to ask the Grey Council for help in curbing their enthusiasm. Meanwhile, Vir sends Lyta and Franklin back to the Drazi homeworld to recover Centauri bodies lost in the fighting, leading to a horrifying discovery. Londo raps with the Emperor, G’Kar pukes, and 500,000 credits is a small price to pay, this week on Jumpgate!
