Babylon Podcast #161: Interview with J. Michael Straczynski, Part 1
Interview: JMS, The Great Maker, graciously allows Tim and Summer to throw a seemingly endless stream of questions about the origins and creation of Babylon 5, the production and growing pains of the show, and dealing with the vagaries of the industry of Hollywood, the bizarre perfect storm surrounding Crusade on TNT, and more.
Added treats for Babylon Podcast subscribers
I have to toss a shout-out to Gary from Jacksonville for this one. He’d noticed that more podcasts were adding bells and whistles that enhance the listener experience, such as cute little displays for folks who use the iPhone and iPod Touch. So, starting with Show #160, people can choose to view the show notes […]
To Arc or Not to Arc
Jonathan Wright, a blogger at The Guardian, wrote an article last week about “Torchwood: Children of Earth” and it’s 5-part story arc. He laments the fact that all of the scifi he loves has become more heavily laden with story arcs, and at first glance, this fact irks him, and he lays blame at our feet
Babylon Podcast #160: Learning Curve (Season 5)
Deep Geeking: This week, Tim and Summer delve into “Learning Curve”, and Tim admits that while he likes this episode, there are a few dramatic elements throughout the story where the cliches fell flat for him.
Was it pacing? Timing? Something else entirely?
Babylon Podcast #159: Feedbackapalooza Jr
Feedbackapalooza Jr: Because of rogue tachyons bombarding the area around Draco Vista Studios, we are experiencing a causality break that threw spatial-temporal ordering into disarray, giving us 3 Summers but no Tim, no Jeffrey and no Mike.
So in order to prevent any permanent damage to the space-time continuum, we bring you a special episode: Feedbackapalooza Jr!
Orbiter – your last, best time sink
In the wake of our conversation about the last mission to repair Hubble, John Bucsek sent us a link to Orbiter, a spaceflight simulator. A quick glance at the website reveals an app which realistically models the behavior of spacecraft, from liftoff to rendezvous to return. You can fly the Space Shuttle or the Deltaglider, […]

Babylon Podcast #158: A View From the Gallery (Season 5)
Deep Geeking: This week, Tim and Summer discuss “A View From the Gallery”, the story of a day in the life on the station as seen from two maintenance workers who still need to go about their usual duties in the middle of a dangerous battle situation.
Do you think this episode appropriately captures a view of life on the station for the regular people?
