Welcome to Show #97!

Hold onto your hats, people… business travel actually has Jeffrey and Tim landing in the same city and the same time, and that means they’ll actually be encouraging each other to ratchet the puns to new levels.

Voicemail: Monty Vorlon’s Flying Circus… nothing more need be said.

We go through voicemails and emails this time around, and truly, no one can stop the puns.

Babylon 5 Information Gathering: Can we and should we mount a Babylon 5 propaganda campaign, in order to get sales of The Lost Tales to the point where Warner really really wants to greelight more volumes of TLT? Let us know…

Also, if you know of a dead or abandoned B5 related website that may be in need of a new home, let Summer know!

Summer still wants to find the long versions of the B5 promos that ran on TNT prior to Season 5, the ones narrated by Keith David… anyone have any old VHS copies of S5 they taped from TNT? Specifically, the :30 spots, one featuring Ivanova and the other G’Kar… they were part of the series of ads TNT ran promoting the addition of B5 to their lineup.

Your feedback does matter, and is welcome! You can call us at 206-338-2259, or email us and tell us what you think… and likely hear it played or read on the show. Please try to keep the voicemail comments as brief as possible.

Welcome to Show #96!

Deep Geeking: This episode, the geeking revolves around “A Late Delivery from Avalon”. We look at cause and effect of choices with devastating consequences, and parallel mythologies, and Monty Python jokes.

We need more instances of agreeable thumps.

Welcome to Show #95!

We’re switching things up this week, and JEFFREY’s running the board, recording this episode from FarPoint Media’s Los Angeles studio. The only real downside was that there was no way to broadcast a live feed for this episode. It was truly a session that deserved to be on the feed, too.

Tim, Summer and Jeffrey are joined by Brad Bowyer, and we start out pondering why we never saw the B5 command staff come down with the flu or the runs, and the musing devolves from there.

Tim reads an email imploring fans to write letters in support of getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Walter Koenig, and he’s the last remaining original Star Trek member not to have a star.

Walk of Fame Committee Chairman Johnny Grant passed away a few hours after we recorded this show, so please address your letters to:

Chairman, Walk of Fame Committee
c/o Hollywood Chamber of Commerce
7018 Hollywood Boulevard, 2nd Floor
Hollywood, CA 90028

Deep Geeking: Tonight’s geeking focuses on “Sic Transit Vir”, and discussion on how the characters start adjusting to their new roles as leaders of a breakaway station all alone in the night.

It takes a few viewings to appreciate just how much humor is running just below the surface.

Listener Feedback: Tim reads an email from Ntozubod asking what one single episode you’d have someone watch if you only have that one shot to get them interested. We argue in a circle… a couple of times.

Welcome to Show #94!

Tim, Summer and Jeffrey ring in the first Babylon Podcast of 2008 with puns. And some New Year’s resolutions broken mere seconds after they’re made. But we’re playing on the new mixer, so it’s all good.

And many props to Brad Bowyer for editing together the Holiday Specials.

Voicemail: We’re playing catchup for the voicemails from the end of 2007; Andrew sent in the audio for a Season 1 blooper favorite of Summer’s; Kurt in St George noticed that Delenn didn’t reveal a secret to us in “Ceremonies of Light and Dark”, and surmises that she may have confided this secret to Lennier… both Summer and Tim disagree with this theory and list the reasons why; Keyboard: Purple, Mouse: Green… geek jokes ensue; Gary enjoyed seeing that Peter Woodward had a role in “National Treasure 2″ and wishes that there could have been a Crusade movie; Peter Woodward’s movie “Closing the Ring” has opened in the UK, directed by Richard Attenborough; a suggestion about what to do with those proof of purchase tags in DVDs; a comment about Buzz Aldrin’s comments for Jeffrey, and a vote against a Vorlon blog?

In the email feedback, Tim reads messages from Kate from Chicagoland, who wants to hear us chat with Kim Strauss about being “the alien of the week”; Mike S wonders if JMS may have intentionally picked a list of SF conventions to break during the evolution of the show; and Andrew laments how a Star Trek podcast made CNN, while a Babylon 5 podcast doesn’t… and would love to hear from Claudia again. The chat room, on the other hand, would love it if Keegan MacIntosh dropped in again.

The B5 library collection grows… if you are interested in buying/trading the books currently in the B5 library, leave us a comment!
