Our Histories with “Babylon 5”
New Podcast: Babylon 5: Thirty Years Later
Jon M. Wilson and I will be launching a podcast about Babylon 5, starting on January 19, 2024. The first promo is here. It’s safe for first time viewers, and episodes come out 30 years after the original broadcast date of that episode or movie (in most cases). We are also crossposting this podcast to YouTube.
TV Review: Gen V, Season One (2023)
A young girl gets her first period. Her mother comes to check on her.
Her blood turns deadly and kills both her parents.
Years later, she attends a school for people with superpowers.
We’re at Godolkin University (“God U”), an elite college for aspiring superheroes. It’s run by Vought, the evil corporation behind metahuman mutation in the universe of the dark, deranged, and brilliant comic and TV series, The Boys. Along with Boysish shenanigans among the sidekick set, we have an incendiary suicide and a sinister secret lurking, literally, beneath the well-manicured campus lawns. Actually, God U has quite a few sinister secrets. Finding the truth behind the façade can be dangerous. To paraphrase Voltaire, it is dangerous to be right when powerful people are wrong.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2023 January 22
This week looks pretty similar to last week. First, the Midwifes have to deal with some tummy troubles, and not the baby bump type. His Dark Materials attempts to lead the dead against the Metatron. The Bad Batch ends up entombed. On the Legend of Vox Machina, the group walks away through fire and into Rimecleft. My Hero Academia tries to help, but doesn’t know the right way to put out the fire.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2023 January 15
The cold weather has slowed the new episodes coming out, but we get the return of The Legend of Vox Machina. Hopefully the new series won’t accidentally spoil my DM’s plot, if Wizards of the Coast don’t spoil everything, first. Speaking of beginnings, the midwives on call reveal some secrets of their own. His Dark Materials visit the land of the dead. The Bad Batch, My Hero Acadamia, and The Owl House also drop new episodes, even if details are light.
