Babylon Podcast #214: Technology and Gadgets in B5

by 22 Comments

Tim and Summer talk about the technology and the everyday gadgets found on the station and in the hands of its command staff, crew and folks just passing through.

On the list this time around: ship behavior in space; handheld weapons and ship-based weapons; medical technologies; personal hygiene (showers and laundry)

Also, Mike sends his heartfelt gratitude to all who have donated to the show, because your generous contributions helped us get the studio back up and running in a moment of crisis.

Summer and Bret wonder if Tim truly saw a scene that he remembers with extra dialogue between Lochley and Garibaldi about the potential of Sheridan losing his grip on reality due to his “condition”. Or, Tim could have been tripping, or lucid dreaming… we may never know.

Then, Summer’s mind is blown from learning of a previously unknown connection between “Fist of the North Star” and B5, and how that ties into her fanfic vision of Crusade.

Tell Us How to Discuss Crusade

We can’t seem to come to a consensus on whether or not to discuss Crusade in the original TNT broadcast order (which is the same order as on the DVD set), or in the JMS preferred story order (which can be found here).

So, you tell us how you’d rather we approach the series discussion and analysis.

Babylon Podcast #211: A Call to Arms (Movie)

by 2 Comments

Tim and Summer delve into “A Call to Arms”, and amongst other things, talk about how the movie functions as a standalone movie rather than direct pilot for the new series, argue back and forth about some of the character development and interactions, speculate broadly on newly interpreted happenings and how they might have influenced things during later Crusade episodes that we never got, and much more.
