This one’s a standalone episode that doesn’t have a lot to do with the overarching plots of the Shadow War and the Earth conspiracy–or is it? Please include your spoilery thoughts about “Convictions” here.

New season! New ship! New title sequence! New characters! Babylon 5 takes an assured step forward as Captain Sheridan and Delenn take the fight to the Shadows, while Morden’s malign influence spreads to the capitals of Centauri Prime and…Earth.
How do we celebrate this momentous episode? With another stupid song parody.

The Audio Guide to Babylon 5 welcomes Lynne and Michael Damian Thomas of Uncanny Magazine and numerous SF podcasts to talk about “Comes the Inquisitor”! As you might expect, the five of us go on at great length about whether a Creepy Victorian Antagonist makes this too Star Trekky an episode, a pivotal elevator scene, the continued development of G’Kar, and of course just what this interrogation means for Delenn and Sheridan. And, in the spoiler section, shade shall be thrown at certain long-haired actors.
