Babylon Podcast #254: Tried and True (Crusade)
Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer discuss the unproduced Crusade script for “Tried and True”, which can be found in the “Crusade: Other Voices, Vol 2″ scriptbook.
This would have been a remarkable Dureena performance, and comparisons can be drawn between this draft and what we saw in Season 4′s “Intersections in Real Time”, especially given the “one room play” stage-like setting in both stories.
Also, folks preparing to review and discuss the comics and novels with us (or for us), get ready… your turn will be coming up soon!
