Babylon Podcast #259: Legend of the Rangers (movie)

The Babylon Podcast ·

2012/02/15

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Jeremy discuss the last Babylon 5 made-for-TV movie, Legend of the Rangers, which aired in January 2002. Yes, ten years ago, people. A treatment for this movie exists in Scriptbook Volume 10, and the full script is in the TV Movies scriptbook, so compare and contrast at your leisure. Let the nitpicking begin: there aren't many real issues with the actual story, just some execution miscues. Source

The Babylon Podcast ·

2012/02/01

Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer discuss the unproduced Crusade script, "Little Bugs Have Lesser Bugs", which was written by Peter Woodward and slated to be a Season 2 episode. The larger implications from the plot of this script are intriguing, given that it revealed a previously unknown vulnerability in the Drakh, and also gives us a storytelling conundrum, trying to obsessively figure out where in Season 2 this episode would have aired.

Babylon Podcast #256: The End of the Line (Crusade)

The Babylon Podcast ·

2011/12/14

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Jeremy discuss the unproduced Crusade script, "The End of the Line", which was slated to be the Season 1 finale. As always, Captain Gideon's dogged pursuit of the truth behind the destruction of his old ship leads him and his crew into knowledge that shakes their trust in their superiors, and Gideon himself to a personal crossroads... and a cliffhanger that could have been as intriguing as Z'ha'dum leading into Hour of the Wolf.

Babylon Podcast #255: The Dureena Trilogy (Crusade)

The Babylon Podcast ·

2011/11/30

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Bret talk about the unproduced Crusade scripts that would have made up the Dureena Trilogy (the stories to explain her absence after her initial contract expired): "War Story", "The Walls of Hell" and an untitled story by JMS. Also discussed are three spec pitches by Richard Mueller, for "Fire in the Blood", "House Odds", and "Mixed Blessings". Source

Babylon Podcast #254: Tried and True (Crusade)

The Babylon Podcast ·

2011/11/16

Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer discuss the unproduced Crusade script for "Tried and True", which can be found in the "Crusade: Other Voices, Vol 2" scriptbook. This would have been a remarkable Dureena performance, and comparisons can be drawn between this draft and what we saw in Season 4's "Intersections in Real Time", especially given the "one room play" stage-like setting in both stories.

2011/09/23

2011/08/13

Tim stumbled across the iFanboy website, and relays to us an article by Ron putting JMS at #10 on his list of "worst things in comics in 2010," and explains where he feels the JMS shortcomings fell. Maybe Tim should be upset about him also dropping the ball on the Lensman movie. Source
