Tim and Summer lament about whether or not the entry requirements are too hard for the Chronologies contest, since we haven't received any entries yet. Not a one. Is the contest entry requirement too hard? Seriously, as of 2pm PT, March 11 2009, I have received ZERO entries for this contest. Is this too hard a task for our lurkers and rangers, or does everyone already have the Chronologies book? Tim also relays a note from JMS saying that the studio has completely scrapped the screenplay for the Forbidden Planet remake, so we hope the person that leaked it was held responsible for theft of intellectual property and is now working off a period of indentured servitude in that studio's salt mines. Contest: We've come up with a contest to give away a copy of the B5 Chronologies scriptbook! Can you identify all the voices in the podcast opening montage? If you think you can, submit your entries to contest [at] sliceofscifi [dot] com with the Subject line of Babylon Podcast Chronologies Contest, and include your mailing address. We need all 12 voices correctly identified and in order, and a single winner will be selected from all the people who submit fully correct entries, and participants who helped with the lines are not eligible to enter this contest... maybe next time, gang. Submit your entries by midnight Pacific time, March 3rd, and we'll randomly pick a winner from pool of correct entries live on the live feed on March 4th (extended to March 25th) Interview: Captain Jaclyn, Jason Davis and Amy Guskin from the Babylon 5 Scripts Team join us to discuss the new scriptbooks project that's been kept secret and tightly under wraps until now. Asked and Answered: JMS answers Thousands of Fan Questions about Babylon 5 is the title of the new series, and it's an exhaustive compendium of questions ever asked about B5. Starting in November 1991, and current through 2008, the team went through over 20,000 questions from many sources that aren't available online anymore (online chat transcripts, convention transcripts, etc) in addition to the newsgroup archives from GEnie, AOL and Usenet. It's arranged in chronological order, without editing, so it's a rare glimpse at the actual development process as the show is ongoing. Most people have seen some of the answers before, but a lot of work went into establishing the original question with the answer to preserve the original context. Keep an eye out at the Babylon 5 Scripts store for more details as the official announcement date of March 17th and the release date of April 7th (not April 1st) draw near. Feel free to ask the Scripts Team any questions about the project, and if you want to see that electronic version (for easier searching) or an electronic index, then let the Scripts Team know! (you know, there's a free Kindle app available for the iPhone and iPod Touch, if a Kindle version of the book could be made available someday) Discussion: Tim and Summer nitpick a little more about the contents of these new books, and are looking forward to having the finished product to dig into later. But now Summer won't get her Crusade books until 2010... grumblefrack. Second Life Info: FarPoint Media's Second Life space is now the penthouse suite of Third Life Books.

Interview: Jan Schroeder and Jason Davis of the Babylon 5 Scripts Team join us to talk about the TV Movie Scripts book, and to tease us about a series of mystery books that will be coming our way starting in March. Jason tells us how he came to the project, and his history of doing JMS interviews; both Jan and Jason talk about the finished movies vs the original scripts and extra materials that paint a different about of the movies, especially "Legend of the Rangers". Don't forget: the TV Movies book is only available for a limited time, so make sure that you order your copy before April 30th! We muse over the possibility of a feature length new B5 movie, since WB has thrown the thread out there in asking what dollar amount constitutes "feature" to JMS; and Tim and Summer throw out guesses about what the new series of books may contain, and we're shot down on every one, not that they'd acknowledge if any of them were correct. It's a long interview, so grab a beverage, put your feet up, and enjoy! Visit Deep Geeking, and if you want to contribute a geeking essay, send a note to Summer.

No Jeffrey this week, he's working hard on "The Amazing Race", but not to worry... for some reason, the Vorlon puns still filter their way into the show. Interview: This week, Tim and Summer talk with Jaclyn (pictured, L) and Jan from the Babylon 5 Scripts Project, and by a twist of fate, the date of this interview, October 29th, was the 3rd anniversary of the release of the first scriptbook! Jaclyn and Jan give us as many details as they can about how this project came about, and the scope of putting something on this scale together, possible future volumes, and much much more!

Call to Action: While we haven't set a travel date yet, it's time to start requesting donations to help fund Summer's road trip into Vorlon Space, to catalog the items in Jeffrey's storage locker, so we can help him consolidate his storage needs. Please donate, and make a notation that it's earmarked for the Excursion into Vorlon Space, and those who donate will get first crack at items, before they're made available to auction to the live feed listeners, and then to the general public.
