What does the phrase "techno-mage" conjure up in your mind? Robes with equations on them? Elite magical hacking? Or a surprisingly dry filler episode of Babylon 5? That, plus the promotion of Worst Boy of All Time, Warren Keffer, made this pair of episodes a bit tough to get through. But we're cresting a new horizon, and apparently better things are coming!

What place does a holy grail/magical old man plot have in Babylon 5 you ask? Well, not much. Magellan and Allen struggle yet again to find something to love in the first episode discussion, but "Eyes" proves surprisingly engaging in part thanks to the great acting.

A mysterious figure asks the Chatz hosts what they want, and the answer is "to put out a podcast that makes people happy while inspiring discussion". They ponder this scenario for a while, and then things get a little loopy as they try to find ANYTHING to like in "TKO". Ups and downs, folks.

Old diplomats tied down by the gravity of tradition, the role of racism in a post-human future, and the fundamental dissolution of a tenuous peace are the flavors of the day this week on Chatzylon 5.

If your ex from college turned out to be a weaponized telekinetic at the head of a government conspiracy, would you help them?
