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 is the end of the first time. After this, we've watched it all. What did we think about this late-comer to the franchise?
