Born to the Purple
The whole idea behind our Conspiracy of Light podcast is that you have 2 friends getting together to watch Babylon 5 together, and you the listener, get to hear the discussions we have after the episode ends. The discussions can be philosophical or silly, but we are exploring our relationship to the Babylon 5 universe and geeking out on the story. We hope that you guys are watching along with us and engaged in the discussion. If you are listening to our show, please let us know. The best way to do that is to talk to us on the Geek Therapy forums: http://forums.geektherapy.com or to chat with us over at the Discord: http://geektherapy.com/discord
In this episode, we chat about the intrigue and mystery of Babylon 5 as presented in Born to the Purple, episode 3 of season 1.

Midnight on the Firing Line
#3: This was the episode that made it clear to me that Josué and I were going to generate some good discussions out of the Babylon 5 story. When you join us on these journeys, it’s really not meant to be about a cult of personality. Hopefully, you do enjoy the conversation that Josué and I have here. We are after all giddy geek kids at play in the fields of science fiction, but the purpose is to help others geek out and play with us. On the one hand, this journey is very personal. Babylon 5 is such an important part of my life, and I want to share it with my friends. I want other people to find the meaning that I found, and I want to laud this fantastic piece of storytelling so that others might engage with this story. I also hope to wrest new meaning from the clutches of the story. Given that the story has taken me where it has, I don’t mind retreading the path to see if I left anything behind. Josué has fresh eyes, viewing this as a first- time viewer, he offers new insight that I might have missed. But then there is you, dear listeners and fellow geeks; your perspective matters as well. I hope that you join us in the discussion and take this incredible ride with us.
