The Babylon Podcast ·

2010/11/27

Speculation abounds surrounding JMS' announcement that he's stepping away from the Wonder Woman and Superman monthly comics in order to focus on writing Earth One sequel instead. The full extent of his work slate seems to still be under wraps. Deep Geeking: Tonight, after a brief tangent into lamenting the short lifespan of most smart scifi shows, we geek on the Crusade episode "The Needs of Earth". Source

Babylon Podcast #217: Our “Best of Babylon 5”

The Babylon Podcast ·

2010/10/28

Discussion: Tim, Summer and Bret talk about the episodes they consider to be on their personal "best of" lists. It's so hard to stick to a "Top 5", and to make it fair we all intentionally didn't include the obvious episodes, like "Sleeping in Light", "War Without End", and a handful of others. Source

2010/09/30

Tim and Summer talk about the technology and the everyday gadgets found on the station and in the hands of its command staff, crew and folks just passing through. On the list this time around: ship behavior in space; handheld weapons and ship-based weapons; medical technologies; personal hygiene (showers and laundry) Also, Mike sends his heartfelt gratitude to all who have donated to the show, because your generous contributions helped us get the studio back up and running in a moment of

Babylon Podcast #212: Feedbackapalooza

The Babylon Podcast ·

2010/09/17

Summer and Bret wonder if Tim truly saw a scene that he remembers with extra dialogue between Lochley and Garibaldi about the potential of Sheridan losing his grip on reality due to his "condition". Or, Tim could have been tripping, or lucid dreaming... we may never know. Then, Summer's mind is blown from learning of a previously unknown connection between "Fist of the North Star" and B5, and how that ties into her fanfic vision of Crusade. Source

Babylon Podcast #211: A Call to Arms (Movie)

The Babylon Podcast ·

2010/09/10

Tim and Summer delve into "A Call to Arms", and amongst other things, talk about how the movie functions as a standalone movie rather than direct pilot for the new series, argue back and forth about some of the character development and interactions, speculate broadly on newly interpreted happenings and how they might have influenced things during later Crusade episodes that we never got, and much more.

Babylon Podcast #209: What Might Have Been, Part 2

The Babylon Podcast ·

2010/08/28

Last week, our heroes risked breaching the fabric of the space-time continuum by trying to follow alternate Babylon 5 storylines to parallel universes where they might have been fully played out... Discussion: Tim, Summer and Bret continue the discussion about alternate story possibilities within the original 5-year arc. Source

Babylon Podcast #208: The Babylon 5 That Might Have Been

The Babylon Podcast ·

2010/08/18

This episode scratches the surface of the untapped, the unexplored, and the fanciful and highly speculative Babylon 5 storylines that either never came to be or were never considered, leaving us little option other than to argue about whether or not they should have been, and how things might have worked out differently for the series as a whole. Fanfic aficionados got nothin' on us. Source

Babylon Podcast #207: Law and Justice in Babylon 5

2010/08/06

This episode is all about the justice, law, and the legal system as portrayed on Babylon 5, and how much it did or didn't influence the story as a whole. Source

Babylon Podcast #206: Surprises in Babylon 5

The Babylon Podcast ·

2010/07/22

Tim, Summer and Bret (and the entire B5 fandom) are glad to hear that Jerry Doyle is doing better and recovering well. We also discuss the lingering Hollywood accounting shenanigans, and how after all these years, Babylon 5 is still considered by Warner Bros to still be $80 million in the hole. The topic this episode is all about the surprises we experienced while watching Babylon 5, both the very first time, and the subtle new things discovered on subsequent viewings. Source

Babylon Podcast #205: Feedbackapalooza, Second Wind

The Babylon Podcast ·

2010/07/16

In addition to discussing our varying shower singing talents, Tim, Summer and Bret ponder yet more reasons why that shower curtain was there. The Vorlon encounter suits might have been used as practice rooms for Top 40 pop bands. We also settle the dispute on which of us right about when it was mentioned in the show when more than just Sinclair had been examined and interrogated by the Grey Council, but that only opens up a whole different can o' worms that bears further scrutiny and

The Babylon Podcast ·

2010/07/07

Tim, Summer and Bret jump back in the saddle in the new-old studio! Tim also reads an announcement about the new Wonder Woman outfit and story that's the result of JMS taking over the reboot of the comic that he'll be writing. Feedbackapalooza: Summer gets lost in a temporal loop of host love and fan love and fan feedback love. Everything else is dust in the solar winds... Source

Babylon Podcast #203: Religion in Babylon 5

The Babylon Podcast ·

2010/06/24

Tim was inspired by our discussion on "River of Souls", which leads to tonight's topic. Tim, Summer and Gary discuss religion, faith and spirituality as portrayed in Babylon 5. From the premise and purpose of the Soul Hunters, to the clashes between science and faith, to the waning old faiths contrasted with the rise of new ones, there are no simple answers, which is why we keep debating the questions.

Babylon Podcast #202: River of Souls (Movie)

The Babylon Podcast ·

2010/06/11

Summer wishes that we'd had more of a heads-up about Amazon's $100 sale on all 5 seasons of Babylon 5, so that we could encourage a buying frenzy and start an entirely new round of Deep Geeking on the series. Anything we can do to keep the podcast going. At a recent Orange County Screenwriters event, JMS stated that both he and WB are interested in doing a 20th anniversary story for 2013... so let the feeding frenzy begin. Source

The Babylon Podcast ·

2010/06/04

Leslie Erganian, artist and prop designer for Season 1, joins us to talk about the scrounging and other creative solutions that went into creating many of the iconic props seen in Season 1. Leslie talks about the craft behind making such items as the Grey Council staff, the translator, Adira's star laces, the statue of the Li, the Centauri Goddess of Passion, and many more items, including the phenomenon of bilateral symmetry in the alien races, and the utensil challenges that not having it can
