Description

We are back!  After an unintended hiatus, we return to review one of the most divisive episodes of Babylon 5, season 1 episode #010, "Believers."




 - Which other Babylon 5 podcast got a mention at the beginning & end of this episode?


 - What years did Dave & Todd graduate high school?  How is that relevant?  (Hint:  It's not.)


 - What was one co-host's biggest issue with the A-plot, and did he wish there was more to the B-plot?


 - Does this episode give a fair shot to religion?  Does it make religion look bad?  Or, is it a little of both?


 - What were some of the best quotes in this episode?


 - Which other dialogue was clunky & downright maddening?


 - Who was most right or most wrong in this episode?  Franklin?  Sinclair?  The kid's parents?


 - Did Sinclair handle the situation well?


 - Did Franklin learn a lesson?


 - Did this episode hurt one co-host's opinion of one of the characters?


 - What information did one co-host feel was most lacking from the episode?


 - So...  Gloppit egg...  Any strong opinions?  (Hint:  Be prepared to adjust your volume almost 2/3 of the way through.  Sorry; it's actually adjusted in editing but probably not enough.)


 - What were some of this episode's best & worst moments?


 - And, is this episode too much like a Star Trek episode, very different from a Star Trek episode, somewhere in between, or is there just no comparison?




Do we address these & many more controversial questions?  I...*believe*...we do.  Listen now if you want to be..."Believers"...too.  (See what I did there?)

We might have separate Facebook & Twitter accounts "soon" (okay, *eventually*), but for now, you can also check us out at the sites for our "parent" podcast, The Discerning Geeks Portal, where we take a discerning look into other geeky topics with an additional co-host and with a frequent focus on movie reviews.

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.)
