The Discerning Lurkers Portal endeavors to review every episode of Babylon 5, one of the greatest sci-fi TV shows ever and a favorite for hosts, Dave and Todd. We'll examine the plot, world-building, characters, performances, dialogue, behind-the-scenes info, and general good stuff and bad stuff of every episode. Near the end, we score each episode using the Psi-Corp P-rating scale from P1 to P12, saving spoilers for future episodes until the very end. We hope you'll also check out our other podcast, Discerning Geeks Portal, where we discuss more geeky topics, with a focus on movie reviews.

#004 - B5 1.03 - "Born to the Purple"

Listen now to our Jovian review of B5 1.03 "Born to the Purple."

- What's the Jovian deal with Ko'Dath, G'Kar's attache before Na'Toth comes along?

- What did one co-host particularly like about the Jovian portrayal of the Adira character?

- What did one co-host appreciate so much about a Jovian scene in which two adversarial characters agreed about something?

- Which Jovian co-host really enjoyed the Ivanova / Garibaldi / Gold Channel subplot, and why?

- Isn't "moon-faced assassin of joy" an awesome Jovian insult?

- Who said, "Don't give away the Jovian homeworld"? (Okay, they didn't include the word "Jovian," but I have to be consistent for the gag.)

- What question did Todd ask Dave about the episode, based on something co-hosts of another Jovian podcast were kind of obsessed with when they did their own review of this episode?

- Which character's final Jovian fate is revealed in Spoiler Zone?

- Which Jovian questions did Dave not want answered even in Spoiler Zone?

- And, why the #&!| am I putting "Jovian" in everything?

Find out the answers to these and other Jovian questions as we examine, "Born to the Purple."

We might have separate Facebook & Twitter accounts soon, 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 two additional co-hosts and with a frequent focus on movie reviews.

Public domain music used in this episode...

- Intro / Transition Into Spoiler Zone / Outro: "Putin's Lullaby" by Alexander Nakarada via FreePD.com (Note: I know with current events going on around Ukraine in March 2022, a song with "Putin" in the title is unfortunate, but I can't help it. That's the name of the song, and the song was picked out weeks ago when the first half of it sounded perfect for a Babylon 5 intro (with a few "swoosh" sound effects added to the end of the intro for added punch).
