SF Signal: A Babylon 5 Shout-Out

Well, it’s not all about Babylon 5, but it’s fun, nonetheless.

In the most recent episode of the SF Signal Podcast, Patrick Hester and Tobias Buckell veer off into a STTNG/B5 discussion.

Babylon Podcast #227: The Well of Forever (Crusade)

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Bret chat about “The Well of Forever”, and there’s several points of disagreement on the content of the episode, and it could quite possibly be from either some lack of perception on our parts, or from looking to hard for a complex answer when it’s really much more simple than we think.

Summer believes the B story with Matheson and Mr Jones might have been served better as the A story, just because of the character depth and development potential that simmered underneath.

Additionally, Bret observes that Earth Alliance military ships with Greek names are doomed. They are the red-shirt ensigns of the B5 universe, and should be avoided at all costs.

Babylon Podcast #226: Visitors from Down the Street (Crusade)

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Bret chat about “Visitors from Down the Street”, an episode filled with snark and more than wink and nod towards The X-Files.

Time has changed Tim’s perception of this episode, and now Bret wishes he’d done his homework and watched it!

And where do captains of deep space exploration vessels get their supply of Hawaiian shirts? Inquiring minds want to know…

Babylon Podcast #225: Feedbackapalooza 2: Palooza Harder

Continuing the Feedback marathon, Tim, Summer and Bret discuss their alcoholic beverage selections for the evening. And Summer has kettle corn, so between salty, sweet, and hoppy, we’re all ready to go.

Listener Voicemails: Despite what you hear, this episode is not the Neilapalooza, and no, we still don’t know why Bret became fixated on Corwin having a mullet.

We really should have talked about the Booze of Babylon 5, shouldn’t we have?
