Babylon Podcast #230: Tangentopalooza
We have a report from Danny in Adelaide about Armageddon Expo! He talks about Pat Tallman’s appearance and a Skype call from JMS. The big news is about the Sherlock Holmes-Harry Houdini story that JMS sold to Dreamworks, and that there are whispers in the dark about a Babylon 5 project broached by WB to The Great Maker.
Babylon 5: Now Streaming on Netflix
Netflix now has Seasons 1-5 on “Watch Instantly”.
None of the movies, including The Gathering, are on streaming yet, neither is Crusade.
But I’m going to call this an opportune time to tell your friends who haven’t yet watched much Babylon 5 that they can now check the series out before investing in their own copies of the show.
Babylon Podcast #229: The Palooza of Wine and Candy
Summer has Stone Levitation, Bret has Jack Daniels and Diet Coke, and Tim is drinking red wine and eating M&Ms. That explains a lot about Tim, doesn’t it?
It’s Feedback Time
Babylon Podcast #228: Each Night I Dream of Home (Crusade)
Tim and Bret mull over ways of keeping better tabs on their teenage kids than their own parents kept on them. It’s a losing proposition, but one you can’t refuse…
Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Bret chat about “Each Night I Dream of Home”, an episode that ties into the importance of Excalibur’s mission, and shows us just how complex the task of decoding the Drakh plague virus truly is.
Tim recalls how he originally disliked this episode, because of what he thought was the “stunt casting” of characters from the original series to hook old fans; and Summer disagrees that it was “stunt casting” solely to garner ratings for TNT.

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…

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?

Tim and Summer are growing concerned, because we don’t have any solid ideas for our 6th season opening yet.
Hopefully, Gary and Edmund have been plotting mischieviousness on our behalf.
Universal Studios has put the Lensman feature film project on hold, and Tim goes into mourning.
Listener Voicemails: Time to catch up on the voicemails from the end of 2010!! And we are happy to hear the new voices chiming in after all this time!
So how much alcohol will it take to get Bret to sing for us? Do we really want to find out?
