Babylon Podcast #197: Day of the Dead Smackdown
Tim, Summer and Bret and special guest Gary from Jacksonville weigh in from their respective corners for the “Day of the Dead” smackdown you’ve all been waiting for!
We field questions from the voicemail bucket, and argue amongst ourselves so long that we made Mike squirm, yet in the end, we still didn’t manage to do anything beyond continuing to agree to disagree.
But the fact that Tim still thinks that “Day of the Dead” is worse than “Thirdspace” is borderline criminal.
Babylon 5: An Influential Space Western
So, do you think Babylon 5 counts as a space western or not? I’m not 100% sure because I haven’t fully mulled it over yet, but if you look at everything from “Severed Dreams”through the end of Season 4, I would have to say “yes”.
Babylon Podcast #196: The Babes of Babylon 5
Tim, Jeffrey, Michael and Bret discuss just about anything and everything about the women of Babylon 5 and the portrayal of sex and sexuality on the show.
The only thing missing was a wall full of pinups for them to daydream over.
Fear not, there will soon be a girls night out where we’ll discuss sex a little bit more, and also the Babylon 5 beefcake selection!
House of the Rising Cylon
The guys of Sci-Fried finished the BSG parody song Summer wrote, and recorded a kick-ass rendition of the song to boot!
Babylon Podcast #195: Thirdspace (Movie)
Tim, Summer and Bret weigh in on “Thirdspace”, the good the bad and the ugly of the movie. One of the TNT projects, it was much anticipated, but contained a few more warts than the die-hard B5 fans had become accustomed to over the previous seasons.
Books for B5 Fans
I came across something interesting today… a Publishers Weekly blurb about a space opera series written by Mike Resnick, published by Pyr (one of my favorite imprints the past few years).
Babylon Podcast #194: Favorite and Least Favorite Things
Tim, Summer, Jeffrey and Bret discuss the story they love, in particular the moments or story arcs that they each would have liked to have seen more of (or seen much less of) during the course of the series.
The missteps, the grand designs, the twists that worked and the ones that didn’t, we open several cans of worms, and still manage to leave enough material untouched to continue this discussion at a later date.
