Welcome to Show #153!
It’s “pick a random special day in April” hour! Hug An Australian Day, Pet Owners Independence Day, and Jeffrey waxes nostalgic over Thomas Jefferson’s birthday.
The innuendo runs amok. There must be something in the water…

Deep Geeking: This week, we take the first step into the final arc in the overall 5-year journey, embarking on Deep Geeking for Season 5.
“No Compromises” falls under the bright light of examination, and Jeffrey recounts an impressive Tracy Scoggins audition story.
Discussion: Gary promises to get us pictures of both space shuttles on the launch pads at the same time; and he also sent us a recording of the Babylon Files: Volume 2 foreword that Jeffrey wrote for Andy Lane. Interestingly enough, he lets us know that Pat Tallman also wrote the afterword for the same book… maybe Gary will read that for us sometime soon.
Jeffrey also recounts his experience being caught on both sides of the strike that affected the set for a short time, and the emotional impact it had on him at the time.

Deep Geeking: There is much discussion (and much lack of Vorlon recall) when the gang Deep Geeks on “The Deconstruction of Falling Stars”. Tim and Summer mildly disagree on the 500 years after and the 1000 years after sequences.

Welcome to Show #150!
Jeffrey pokes fun at Tim and Summer’s consternation at not having a larger pool of contest entries to choose a winner from… or even someone who’s gotten all of the voices guessed correctly. (this was recorded on March 18th, so the contest is already over)
We also hit a tangent about the death of the SciFi Channel. Summer rants. And she’s not the only one who’s a tad annoyed. Not by a long shot. Now she wants to implement a plan to create her owned damned spec-fic channel. Not a Cylon plan, but a plan nonetheless.
Interview: Stephen Furst joins us to reminisce about directing “The Deconstruction of Falling Stars”… at least, that was the initial plan.
And as we all know, the most entertaining shows always veer off their intended courses… “Babylon 5: The Musical”… ’nuff said!
Stay tuned next week for a super-sized Feedbackapalooza!
Discussion: In honor of Show #150, Jeffrey wonders how in the world we’ve done more podcast episodes than actual show episodes in existence, and Mike wonders how this tiny show grew to have a gravity well strong enough to pull him and Brad in for keeps. And then the talk wanders into the realm of space junk, and completely hijacks the intended topic of discussion… again!

Regarding the delay of the two Crusade books…it’s the B5 tradition.
I’ve been very pleased that so many folks who have received the Babylon 5 volumes have said great things about the them. Though, bear in mind that there is a ceiling on how long these final Crusade script books will be available at www.babylon5scripts.com so get in while the Cafe Press price breaks will give you maximum benefit.
