The White Rocket Babylon 5 & Sci Fi Review Podcast

Van Allen Plexico & Andy Fix, along with occasional guests, review the entire Babylon 5 series, plus the movies, Crusade series, novels, comics and more--with deep dives, humor, respect and a critical eye that still retains an enduring love for the material. They discuss each episode's Themes and Influences, Best Moments, Notes and Factoids, Guest Stars, and Episode Ratings and Evaluations, among other topics. As of 2026, having completed reviews of nearly everything Babylon 5, they have expanded the podcast to include other favorite SF TV series, including Stargate Universe, Battlestar Galactica, Space: 1999 and much more!
