Magellan's roommate Charlie joins us once again for a Babylon 5 film commentary! This week, we watched Thirdspace and recorded our commentary of it! An image of the sync point will be posted on twitter.com/chatzpod along with this episode, and you can skip to 1:38:00 if you want to just hear us discuss the film afterwards. It's...an interesting little movie they made! We'll be back to regular episode discussions next week, so please enjoy this fun little jaunt through the second film in our B5 w...

It's FINALLY Zack Allan's time to shine as Babylon 5 takes a few episodes to reset the board. Lyta's a character now, Garibaldi's probably next up on the doomed list, and the best "news crew comes to B5" episode yet prompts a wonderful discussion about the showrunners' opinions on journalists and propaganda. All this and more this week...on Chatzylon 5. Our viewing order for Chatzylon 5, including movies and side shows: tinyurl.com/chatzseason6 Please consider backing the Chatz Patreon, where yo...

Season 4 of Babylon 5 refuses to let off the gas for even a hot second this week, and the Chatz kids are still here for the ride! In a pair of episodes that feel very much like a series finale, our hosts discuss the moral implications of the Shadow War, the way Vir's reaction to seeing Morden somewhat let us down, and just where the show could possibly be going with so many episodes left.

Hey folks! Before we even hit record on this episode, we realized that we'd rather do a meaty one episode discussion this week than force two quick ones in, especially during such a crucial part of the show.
