When a very large space station is rotten with ambassadors, the mousse budget is astronomical and the surfaces are very smooth. But when Commander Sinclair defies orders to keep the peace, Londo is the only one who doesn’t believe his nephew’s hostage video. Why isn’t there more science fiction tv? What’s the steel-to-person ratio of Babylon 5? How does a Star Trek podcast stay cool as hell? It’s the episode that’s banking sick voice!

Just a small correction: it's writer, not writers. Almost all (92 of 110 episodes) are written by series creator J. Michael Straczinski, which is one of things which makes the series unique, it's a really a singular artistic vision of one guy.

True, but most of the episodes with guest writers were in season 1. The uneven tone of the season was part of why he took over full writing duties.

Oh, I did not know that! Thanks for the correction, something new learned!
