A space genie with bad vibes, the Shadows finally emerge, and a debate over the future’s worst invention: the open-concept bathroom? 👽😈🚽 Jenny, Jenn, and first-timers Ali and Gus are joined by guest Ean to unpack "Signs and Portents," a massive turning point for Babylon 5. This week’s jam-packed discussion includes:

Gus introduces the archaic verb "ensorcelled" to a baffled room.
  • Jenn breaks down why "What do you want?" is both a screenwriting sin and a stroke of genius.
  • Ali drops a bombshell prediction about Sinclair, Delenn, and a conveniently timed marriage reveal.
  • We get a deep dive into JMS's surprising history with Christian communes and cults.
  • Plus: The team discusses expensive CGI, the pains of 90s TV production, and Centauri hairline politics.
