Jenny, Jenn, and first-timers Ali and Gus (with guest Ian!) dive into “The Quality of Mercy,” one of Babylon 5’s most chaotic and thought-provoking season one episodes. This week’s banter includes: • The crew losing it over Centauri “anatomy” trivia and JMS’s fever-dream writing.• Ali declaring herself an alien anatomy expert.• Jenn connecting mercy, morality, and Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice.• Gus insisting on the ethics of not whipping it out at the poker table.• Jenny explaining the JMS lore behind mind wipes and space justice.• Plus: June Lockhart, universal healthcare, and Londo’s questionable poker face. 🎬 Watch our LIVE REACTION to the episode here✨ Support us on Patreon for unedited reactions and bonus content!👉 http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod📲 Follow us on Bluesky: @babbleonpod.bsky.social🎶 Music: “Discovery” by Alexander Nakarada
