The station is officially open for business! Join re-watchers Jenny and Jenn, and first-time viewers Ali and Gus, as they dive into Babylon 5’s explosive first episode, "Midnight on the Firing Line"—where the politics get messy, the cast gets shuffled, and Londo’s sleeves get even bigger.

🔥 This episode’s chaos includes:

• "Wait, where’d everybody go?!" Gus and Ali react to the massive cast changes (RIP Takashima, hello Ivanova! Lyta who? Talia’s here! And… where is the doctor?!).
• Londo vs. G’Kar: The greatest frenemy rivalry in sci-fi kicks off—who won your sympathy?
• That Narn/Centauri action: Space battles! Moral dilemmas! And a very ’90s CGI explosion.
