Hi Tim, Summer, Jeff
Nice to see y’all back to early release times, ran out of the signal on the way in, and was faced with the horror of LISTENING TO MUSIC for the last ten minutes of my journey, least I’ve got your podcast to listen to on my way home this evening. While I agree that TKo was almost the worst episode of Season 1 (in fact I actually quite liked infection) I look forward to hearing your take on it.

Just in case any listeners cannot check out Jerry when he on live(like me). He has a subscription for five bucks a month. That will allow you to d/l his shows on mp3 sans commercials. I have sent a few e-mails to him extolling the virtues of being a guest on you’re show. Have not heard anything back however. May need some back-channel negotiations from Jeffery on that. Anyway, love the show. Keep up the good work.

I wasn’t too keen on TKO, and I agree that the whole anti-human racial facet would have been fun to explore. Clearly Earthers are new to the galactic social club, and they bought jump gate technology from the Centauri, and here they are building ships, starting wars, and creating a space station to facilitate peace…I can absolutely see older races fighting to keep us out. There are a lot of examples of this today (and when the show aired) – illegal immigration in the US and Europe, the fear in the 80s that the Japanese were buying up everythign American, etc. It would have been interestign to have this aspect seething in the background and help when Sheridan was trying to unite everyone to challenge the Shadows. Ah well, opportunity lost.
Grail was cool because the use of CGI with the Feeder had to have been one of the first appearances on television. Although cruide by today’s standards, it is still impressive. And Londo…my favorite by far. I can’t wait until you have him on the show.
Oh, and Jerry’s radio show is pretty good. I’m a subscriber. He’s exactly what he states, a “independent conservative” and he is very vocal about how he interprets what is going on in the world. Definitely worth a listen if you’re into talk radio. He’s not NPR, but he isn’t O’Reilley either.
Loved the show! Good job once again….just dropped a line to say that Malaysia is not showing B5 anymore, once they finish airing season 5 in around 2002,there has been no repeats….saaddd!
Jeffrey! Please get Jerry on the show! Please!
