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.

- Was the big revelation of this episode really that big a revelation?

- What does one co-host feel about what he calls "psychobabble" episodes?

- Just how desperate was the Battle of the Line?

- Which moment of Garibaldi & Ivanova dialogue did one co-host enjoy?

- Which character did one co-host like best in this episode?

- Which Sinclair line did one co-host particularly like?

- Which character had a couple over-acted moments, including a moment where he sounded like Gollum from "Lord of the Rings"?

- What were some of the other nitpicks from this episode?

- Which actors were originally supposed to play guest roles Knight One and Knight Two?

- What were some of the articles about from the newspaper Garibaldi was holding?

- Why did JMS portray San Diego as a bombed wasteland in the Babylon 5 universe?

- What improvised, practical object had to substitute for a special, expensive camera lens that was inadvertently rented to a different production?

- And, which co-host still has a landline phone as if it's still 1994?

Listen now for the answers to these & other psychobabble questions as we probe into a hole in the mind... "And the Sky Full of Stars."

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.)
