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!

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!

Over at Comic Book Resources, there’s a good summation of JMS’ appearance on the DC Comics Panel at Wondercon this past weekend. Thanks to Ian Smith for the heads-up link!

The highlights:
* More “Lost Tales” is on the way”
* Filming on “The Changeling” is complete, film due in November 2008
* “World War Z” adaptation still going
* “Silver Surfer” movie to include more Galactus
* “Rising Stars” and “Dream Police” under consideration for production
* No more “Jeremiah”, no more “Crusade”

So much for the in-joke opening for podcast Season 3!

Welcome to Show #100!

Jeff wishes everyone a Happy Vorlontine’s Day, and Tim, Summer and Jeffrey take a moment to recognize a podcast milestone… okay, moment over. Let’s get to the geeking!

Deep Geeking: We have a Deep Geeking treat for you… a guest geeker!

Mike McCafferty, actor and geek, joins us to share his long pent-up Babylon 5 theories. He believes that “War Without End” is the Grand Retcon of the series, and we all discuss a lot of points from casting to plot adjustments and future Retcon necessities in the series.

We argue about time travel and the story changes necessitated by Sheridan replacing Sinclair, the differences in the time compression between “Babylon Squared” and “War Without End”, and so many more nitpicks, that most B5 geeks should be quite satisfied.

Visit Mike’s website and say hello. And we’ll let you know when the Invisible Man DVD hits the shelves!

If you go to Starship Sofa, check out the episode containing “Going Through Changes” by Pat Murphy. Summer read the story, and people have been enjoying the reading.

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 needs to find the one more of 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.

Jeffrey has dredged up some treasures from the Vorlon vault for our loyal listeners. Here’s your chance to see why they put him in the fiberglass helmet.

For Fans in the US ….Claudia is offering some of her personal items for sale! These items will only be available for shipping to the United States. Proceeds will go to Charity. Here are the details.

Hi folks,

I have decided to keep all charitable contributions in the USA this year as we need it more then ever. Between all of the great funds in New Orleans to help people rebuild, local Children’s Hospitals and homes for battered women, I believe we can pump up the coffers a bit by getting rid of some personal belongings…call it recycling for a better cause! I hope everyone has a beautiful year and by then end of it, I hope to be able to make a nice donation to some of my favorite charities thanks to each and everyone of you.

Much love,
Claudia

So, how do you like the Babylon Podcast Season 3 open?

Deep Geeking: This week, we talk about “Ship of Tears”, an episode with a tour de force performance by Walter Koenig. We get to see Bester as his usual menacing self, and we’re surprised with a suprisingly human and vulnerable aspect to the character we’d come to despise.

Alliances are shaken and shifted. Lines are being more clearly drawn in the upcoming battle between the forces of Order and Chaos.

Feedback: Jeffrey’s really jonesing to get to that jacuzzi, so we buzz through a couple of emails really quickly.
