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.
Interview: This week, George Johnsen, Babylon 5 co-producer (and apparently one of Jeffrey’s cohorts in mischief), at last joins us!
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!
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.

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!

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!
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!
Tim, Jeffrey and Michael geek over some of the latest space flight news, and lament over the lack of space flight and space news coverage on the mainstream news.
Tim also lets us know that March 26 is the both Jesus Treviño’s and Ed Wasser’s birthdays.
Feedbackapalooza: Lots of voicemail and email. We answer and discuss.
