Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer discuss "Between The Darkness and The Light", the episode which marks a significant turning point in the war to take back Earth from Clark's forces. The morale hit taken by Sheridan's capture is turned around by them breaking him out and rescuing him, and by the White Star fleet's destruction of Earth's advanced, Shadow-tech cruisers. Is this the first glimpse we see of Lyta's steps towards her dark, angry side?

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and special guest Jarsto delve into "Intersections in Real Time", definitely one of the most difficult episodes to watch the first time around. The psychological abuse we see Sheridan being subjected to is also felt by the viewer because of the structure of the episode... there is no cut away to a B story, no time jumps in scene, and the relentless manipulation in pursuit of a truth they want to use for their own purposes. It's also another wonderful example of the use of a stage play composition, both in set design and writing/acting, to intensify the the emotional impact of the interactions and the reasons for them.

Interview: It's the interview almost everyone has been waiting for. Ed Wasser joins us this week, and he tells us how he thinks that the attraction to Morden comes from the undeniable allure of the mystery and the appeal of the bad guy. We also talk about how he came to Babylon 5, and how his asking for a more dangerous part led to him getting the role of Morden, his fan club and convention visits, and more. The depth and reach of Morden's plans definitely affects the entire series, even though he was only on screen for 13 episodes. It's a testament to the writing and the performances that major characters that only appear from time to time can have such a large impact on the overall series story arc.
