Babylon Podcast #169: A Tragedy of Telepaths (Season 5)
Welcome to Show #169!

Babylon Podcast: new website look
Along with the changes to the show post information, I’ve also been working on a new layout for the website. The main “shows” listing in the blue navbar will give a listing of all shows, so it’ll be easier for folks to see at a glance which show contains which interviews. The “year” listings will [...]

Babylon Podcast #167: Day of the Dead (Season 5)
Tim and Summer disagree on “Day of the Dead”, and boy, do we chat about THAT difference of opinion! Written by Neil Gaiman, it’s the first produced episode not written by JMS since Season 2 (since “Knives”?).
Tim thinks it’s a weak effort, and Summer thinks it’s one of the better episodes of Season 5 (and everyone knows how Summer feels about most of Season 5). But Summer still calls shenanigans on Tim’s refusal to accept quantum physics as a way to explain how that section of B5 becomes linked to the Brakiri homeworld.
Babylon Podcast #166: Secrets of the Soul (Season 5)

The first secret revolves around Byron discovering the extent of the Vorlon’s involvement in the creation of telepaths, and the guys chat about Byron’s dramatic shift from peaceful resistance to enraged outcast because of that new knowledge.
