Welcome to Show #111! Jeffrey’s happy, preparing to celebrate Kosho de Mayo, and giddy about the Dodgers winning big. Because Jeff’s heading out to Hawaii, talk wandered over to his appearance on the show in a Hawaiian shirt and overalls. Community Project: Find the Hawaiian shirts worn on the show. We need to make a list. JMS will be attending Cannes Film Festival, to screen Changeling, and is all sorts of busy writing other feature film scripts. Could JMS be writing the screenplay for Lensman? Summer is intrigued about the prospect of a movie about Rising Stars. Listener Feedback: Feedbackapalooza! It’s a word that’s sticking now. Mick comments on the baseball talk in both Babylon 5 and Star Trek: in B5, baseball is still alive, and in Star Trek the sport is long dead, but in DS9 baseball is back and strong. How’d that happen? Mick also points out other similarities between B5 and DS9. Gary wants to know what screen credits Jeffrey has where he can be seen sans encounter suit, and asks again about the Mayport story. Should there be a warning label for the George Johnsen interview? We can’t help it if you laugh out loud and distract your co-workers. One vote submitted for a SciFi AllStars baseball team… and a question on whether Marcus could play baseball extrapolated from his skill with a Minbari fighting pike. Bethany from OK comments on “And The Rock Cried Out…” and on the one B5 episode to show someone new to the series. Eli thinks we missed a point in talking about “Z’ha’dum”, the hypocrisy/irony of Justin’s statements to Sheridan. Scott from the Gigcast proudly announces that he’s rented Season 1 Disc 1 and is about to dive into the series for the first time. Theory: Zima is the modern replacement to the never-endingly regifted fruitcake. That’s the real reason why Zima exists in the 24th century… it kept getting passed on. Edmund adds some info from the Technomage trilogy to explain what happened during the White Star assault on Z’ha’dum (Galen did it). This leads to a discussion about what was going on on Z’ha’dum, if there was sleeping, or if it was a trap, or something else. Non-sequitur: Pixar, Disney, wha? Emails: Kurt from St George drops by the studio! Warlord adds commentary from JMS about the sacrifice of the White Star, taken from the back of one of the cards in the second series of trading cards. Aristotle wonders about how to direct new listeners to special podcast episodes first. Emily wonders about matching up Romo Lampkin vs Mr Morden. Jeffrey S wonders why human telepaths need to be on a line of sight when the Minbari telepaths could interfere with the Shadow ships from safely in the depths of their ships. Gene from Greenville wonders what we’d want from what might be your last care package from home. Bill points out what he thinks is the worst plot hole in “Grey 17 is Missing”. Kate from Chicagoland wonders what Kosh’s personal effects may have been. Second Life Info: FarPoint Media’s castle is at http://slurl.com/secondlife/beraudes/203/151/49. Babylon 5 Information Gathering: If you know of a dead or abandoned B5 related website that may be in need of a new home, let Summer know! Maybe we can mirror it here or house it on a sister site.

There will not be a Babylon Podcast live feed or recording tonight. Sorry for the short notice, but we’ll try to make it up to y’all next week. Babylon Podcast: Show #110
Welcome to Show #110! When the boys are away, the girls will rule the geekdom. Or just play harder. Deep Geeking: Summer welcomes Cat (SciFi Ranter Girl from the Lipstick Aliens), graphics designer and huge B5 fan (and long-time FarPoint Media chat room denizen) Cat Hulberg, and Susie the Southern Geek (host of How to Grow Your Geek) to come onboard and Deep Geek on “The Hour of the Wolf”, the Season 4 premiere episode. Here you have the women in John Sheridan’s life going through various stages of denial, grief and bargaining, in an attempt to find out for sure what happened to him at Z’ha’dum, and by the end of the episode, there’s still no closure in dealing with what happened, nor any new insight into knowing what did happen. The girls geek on. Second Life Info: FarPoint Media’s castle is at http://slurl.com/secondlife/beraudes/203/151/49.

Welcome to Show #109! No Jeffrey this week. No Vorlon puns. Tim and Summer are sad, but it passes after a moment. Deep Geeking: Call it uber geeking. Mike McCafferty rejoins Tim and Summer to discuss “Z’ha’dum”, the season 3 finale, containing one of the most delicious and exasperating cliffhangers ever visited upon scifi tv fans.

Babylon 5 Information Gathering: If you know of a dead or abandoned B5 related website that may be in need of a new home, let Summer know! Maybe we can mirror it here or house it on a sister site. Guess what? Thanks to “Babylon Podcast” listener Don McMillan, Summer is finally going to get copies of the remaining TNT B5 promos! Yes, once they’re ready, we’ll make them available for you to listen to and download. Promo: Obscure 80s Podcast America Cancer Society Fundraiser Babylon Podcast: Show #108
Welcome to Show #108! Interview: This week, George Johnsen, Babylon 5 co-producer (and apparently one of Jeffrey’s cohorts in mischief), at last joins us!
We talk to George about the show, including some of the questions sent in by listeners, and the anecdotes and production details are both fascinating and fall-down funny. Did you know George was also an original Cylon? Summer didn’t, and that just warms her heart. This is an interview you have to hear again and again, and you won’t care that it runs the full hour. 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. Second Life Info: FarPoint Media’s castle is at http://slurl.com/secondlife/beraudes/203/151/49.

Welcome to Show #107! It’s baseball season again, and Jeffrey has already started in on the Dodgers geeking. The conversation really does take a science fiction turn… B5 loves baseball, and Star Trek does not. What’s up with that? Deep Geeking: “Z minus 7 Days”. After the silliness dies down, Tim and Summer discuss “Shadow Dancing”, the episode that culminates in Sheridan’s and Delenn’s goal to get all of the League Worlds to work together in mutual self-defense against the Shadows. The B-story deals with Franklin dealing with the consequences of his actions and his choices, by literally talking things over with himself. And Jeffrey adds his own perceptions on why the cast (and crew?) were starting to look shaggy and scruffy towards the end of Season 3. Feedback: Tim reads a comment from Katie on the website, wondering where Jeffrey’s pants got to in the picture on the website. Jeffrey reveals that budget concerns led to people not getting hair cuts, and needing to share the pants allotment. Is that TMI, or what? Jeffrey also regales us with an anecdote about a guessing game involving Polaroids and boobs. Michael is really trying to insert boobs into every FarPoint Media show… and Summer really doesn’t know if she can make it stop! 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.

Babylon 5 Information Gathering: If you know of a dead or abandoned B5 related website that may be in need of a new home, let Summer know! Maybe we can mirror it here or house it on a sister site. Summer is still looking for one more of 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. We have a copy of the G’Kar one, now we’re holding out that someone out there has the Ivanova one! Link: Heavens Above “Five Years” again
Why? Because I didn’t know someone had made a music video for this song. Because we still need to get Tom Smith on Slice of SciFi one of these days. Site additions

Not quite. But the two women who ran Babylon 5 while Sheridan took care of other business are considering a project together. Claudia Christian has posted this. (You must register for a free login to access this part of Claudia’s website.) I had dinner with Tracy Scoggins last night and we have decided to finally fulfill a long time dream of ours……to work together! We have some terrific ideas but would love your input and feedback. Anyone interested in letting us in on what you think can go to my forum on www.claudiachristian.net. There you will find a forum called “Claudia’s Place” and in that you will find the section “Claudia Wants to Know”. That is where you can discuss what you would like to see. I will have questions there that you can answer and you will have the opportunity to tell me what you think! Tracy and I look forward to hearing your ideas. “Thanks folks and here’s to the future!” Claudia Source: Claudia Christian Newsletter « Previous Entries

Jeffrey had been trying for a while to get George on the show, but George is a busy busy guy. He’s worked on a lot of the films and shows we love, and he loves the scifi!
