This week, we review "Signs & Portents," the Babylon 5 episode so important that J. Michael Straczynski named all of season 1 "Signs & Portents" as well.

 - Why is Dave slurring his words?

 - How far did Todd get in editing before the file failed to save and proved to be corrupted, such that Todd had to start the editing over from scratch?

 - What did Dave & Todd think about this episode?  What category is this episode starting to fall under for Todd?

 - What were the various subplots of this episode, and which ones worked better than others?

 - What is it about the damage to Kosh's encounter suit that Todd questioned?

 - Is there a greater importance to Lord Kiro, or is he just another noble?

 - When & where did Ed Wasser, the actor played Mr. Morden, show up on Babylon 5 previously as a different character?  What off-screen role did Ed Wasser also have on the Babylon 5 set before being cast as Mr. Morden?

 - What did Dave & Todd like so much about the scene with Londo & G'Kar waiting on the lift?

 - What did Todd think was so significant about Kosh's demand to Morden?

 - What aspect of the space battle didn't quite work for either co-host?

 - What natural catastrophe occurred during the filming of this episode, and how much -- or how little -- did it affect the filming schedule of this episode?

 - Which cast member got stuck on set during one of several frequent evacuations?

 - And, what topics did the co-hosts cover in the spoiler zone?

Public domain music used in this episode...

- Intro / Transition Into Spoiler Zone / Outro:  "P----'s Lullaby" by Alexander Nakarada via FreePD.com  (Note:  This song sounds perfect for the intro to season 1 of the podcast, but it has an unfortunate name that includes the last name of a war-loving leader of a certain Eurasian country that has recently attacked & invaded another country in 2022.  From now on, I'm just going to sensor the P-word in the name of the song.)
