Braving Babylon 5
Episode 13 - Flower Power

"By Any Means Necessary" - Season 1, Episode 12

Phil does his best not to out himself as too much of a lefty and ends up sounding a bit righty as we get into political posturing in this intriguing episode. Also, hands up who's starting to like G'kar more than Londo, much to their surprise! *Raises hand*

Episode 8 - B5IP

"The War Prayer" - Season 1, Episode 7

Art imitates life this week as Babylon 5 mirrors the European elections. Sort of. Phil tries not to offend anyone with his lefty liberalness.

Episode 6 - Rebirths, Marriages and Deaths

"Parliament of Dreams" - Season 1, Episode 5

Babylon 5 starts to feel more sure of itself, but isn't immune to the odd misstep here and there as Phil finds this episode to be a mixed bag. But he's interested to see how different B5 is to Star Trek in their outlook on human religions in the future...
