- Intro / Transition Into Spoiler Zone / Outro:  "Putin's Lullaby" by Alexander Nakarada via FreePD.com  (Note:  I know with current events going on around Ukraine in March 2022, a song with "Putin" in the title is unfortunate, but I can't help it.  That's the name of the song, and the song was picked out weeks ago when the first half of it sounded perfect for a Babylon 5 intro (with a few "swoosh" sound effects added to the end of the intro for added punch).
