The Earth Civil War is over, but the harder question is what comes next. Josh and John revisit season 4's "Endgame" and "Rising Star" to talk about how democracies recover from authoritarianism, why good people obey bad leaders, what makes Sheridan such an extraordinary leader, and why Babylon 5's vision of power, media, and moral courage feels uncomfortably relevant.This is a jam-packed episode folks. So put C&C in standby, head down to Earhart's, and crack open a Zima.

In which we attempt to get our arms around how B5 depicts mass media

What Minnesota has in common with Mars...and what it doesn't.
