Two veteran Star Trek podcasters watch Babylon 5 for the first time. Brent Allen and Jeff Akin search for Star Trek like messages in this series, deciding if they should have watched it sooner.

We read J. Michael Straczynski's autobiography, Becoming Superman. We explore what experiences made it into Babylon 5, the messages from the book, and we answer what might be the biggest question in all of Babylon 5.  

This show is produced in association with the Akin Collective, Mulberry Entertainment, and Framed Games. Find out how you can support the show and get great bonus content like access to notes, a Discord server, unedited reaction videos, and more: https://www.patreon.com/babylon5first
