Lisää You Gotta Check This Out!

This is “You Gotta Check This Out” With Mike Slater and Dre Alvarez. Each season, we take a deep dive into one of our nerdy obsessions - giving each show, book, band, game, sport, hobby… whatever as much time as we see fit to get each other and you up to speed with something we love. For our first topic, we’re exploring the epic 90’s Sci-Fi series, Babylon 5. We’ll guide you through all five seasons of the show - featuring key episodes and using them as discussion points across the series. If you're curious about getting into Babylon 5, this is a good place to start. In a fitting twist of fate, Babylon 5 is no longer available for free or with a subscription on any service. We suggest looking for the DVDs at your library. Or if you live near Dre or Mike, we'll likely loan you our copies. To follow along with us, you can watch these episodes of Babylon 5. Season One • Episode 4: "Infection" • Episode 9: "Deathwalker" • Episode 13: "Signs & Portents" • Episode 22: "Chrysalis" Season Two • Episode 3: "The Geometry of Shadows" • Episode 13: "Hunter, Prey" • Episode 16: "In the Shadow of Za' Ha' Dum" • Episode 22: "The Fall of Night" Season Three • Episode 3 "Dust to Dust" • Episode 10: "Severed Dreams" • Episode 16 & 17: "War Without End" • Episode 19: "Grey 17 is Missing" • Episode 22: "Za'Ha'Dum" Season Four • Episode 1 & 2 "The Hour of the Wolf" & "Whatever Happened to Mr. Garibaldi?" • Episode 5: "The Long Night" • Episode 6: "Into the Fire" • Episode 14: "Moments of Transitions" • Episode 17: "The Face of the Enemy" • Episode 20 & 21: "Endgame & Rising Star" Movie: Babylon 5: In the Beginning Season Five Episode 18: "The Fall of Centauri Prime" Episode 19: "The Wheel of Fire" Episode 22: "Sleeping In Light" New episodes release every other Sunday, with a minisode on the off-weeks.
