Andy and Van barricade themselves inside the recording studio after demanding a planet just for Babylon 5 podcasters! Unfortunately, Sheridan and Delenn don't seem to think we deserve one!

Andy and Van welcome Bester onto the station, to see if he will relieve them of some guests that have perhaps overstayed their welcome.

No, you haven't missed an episode! We promise! As we have discussed in probably WAY too much detail, the numbering goes all kerflooey at this point in the series.

This time around, Andy and Van finally embark for the last full season of Babylon 5, where they meet Captain Lochley and "Remember Byron" again for the first time. How well does this one hold up? How close can Andy get to accurately guessing its P5 score?? Tune in and find out! Thanks ...
