We're switching things up this week, and JEFFREY's running the board, recording this episode from FarPoint Media's Los Angeles studio. The only real downside was that there was no way to broadcast a live feed for this episode. It was truly a session that deserved to be on the feed, too. Tim, Summer and Jeffrey are joined by Brad Bowyer, and we start out pondering why we never saw the B5 command staff come down with the flu or the runs, and the musing devolves from there. Tim reads an email imploring fans to write letters in support of getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Walter Koenig, and he's the last remaining original Star Trek member not to have a star. Walk of Fame Committee Chairman Johnny Grant passed away a few hours after we recorded this show, so please address your letters to: Chairman, Walk of Fame Committee c/o Hollywood Chamber of Commerce 7018 Hollywood Boulevard, 2nd Floor Hollywood, CA 90028 You can find more details here: http://www.walterkoenigsite.com/waltersstar.html Deep Geeking: Tonight's geeking focuses on "Sic Transit Vir", and discussion on how the characters start adjusting to their new roles as leaders of a breakaway station all alone in the night. It takes a few viewings to appreciate just how much humor is running just below the surface. Listener Feedback: Tim reads an email from Ntozubod asking what one single episode you'd have someone watch if you only have that one shot to get them interested. We argue in a circle... a couple of times.

Tim, Summer and Jeffrey ring in the first Babylon Podcast of 2008 with puns. And some New Year's resolutions broken mere seconds after they're made. But we're playing on the new mixer, so it's all good. And many props to Brad Bowyer for editing together the Holiday Specials. Voicemail: We're playing catchup for the voicemails from the end of 2007; Andrew sent in the audio for a Season 1 blooper favorite of Summer's; Kurt in St George noticed that Delenn didn't reveal a secret to us in "Ceremonies of Light and Dark", and surmises that she may have confided this secret to Lennier... both Summer and Tim disagree with this theory and list the reasons why; Keyboard: Purple, Mouse: Green... geek jokes ensue; Gary enjoyed seeing that Peter Woodward had a role in "National Treasure 2" and wishes that there could have been a Crusade movie; Peter Woodward's movie "Closing the Ring" has opened in the UK, directed by Richard Attenborough; a suggestion about what to do with those proof of purchase tags in DVDs; a comment about Buzz Aldrin's comments for Jeffrey, and a vote against a Vorlon blog? In the email feedback, Tim reads messages from Kate from Chicagoland, who wants to hear us chat with Kim Strauss about being "the alien of the week"; Mike S wonders if JMS may have intentionally picked a list of SF conventions to break during the evolution of the show; and Andrew laments how a Star Trek podcast made CNN, while a Babylon 5 podcast doesn't... and would love to hear from Claudia again. The chat room, on the other hand, would live it if Keegan MacIntosh dropped in again.

Apologies ahead of time for the audio quality for the Deep Geeking... there was a studio malfunction, resulting in the loss of ALL of the discussion about "Severed Dreams" (and you thought we were kidding about the helpful donations). Jeffrey actually sticks around for the geeking on this episode, and adds some anecdotes from his time on the set during the filming. Between witnessing hostilities between EAS forces, seeing the B5 command staff take stand and pick a side in the battle that's been building around them for well over a year, discovering how fine a line ISN has been standing on since the first rumors that Clark was involved with Santiago's death, Delenn's confrontation and dissolution of the Grey Council, and the heated battle between the station and Clark's forces and the intervention by the Minbari, the show truly embodies what's built up since the end of Season 1: "Nothing's the same anymore."

This is the first episode of the emotional roller-coaster that doesn't really come to a close until the end of Season 4. THIS is what we love the most. From Marcus rescuing Dr Mary Kirkish so she can tell the story of Earth's previously unknown involvement with Shadow technology, to Sheridan's decision to destroy the newly found Shadow ship on Ganymede, and the resulting encounter with the EAS Agammemnon and President Clark's declaration of martial law... this is one episode that bears much on it's story shoulders, and carries it all very well.

Jeffrey enlightens us as to what it's like to live "in fire", and how to avoid problems and still managing to keep abreast of the World Series. Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Jeffrey talk about "Exogenesis". Don't forget, this is the episode where Steve "Snackman" Thorpe, Carrie Dobro and Jeffrey all appear as med techs (we didn't, and we have a little fun with Jeff about that). While this episode is really a low mark in Season 3, there are a few tidbits in it that reflect in later episodes, and later character behavior. We see the first time that Marcus and Franklin work together, we find out a little more about Corwin, and we witness a comedy of errors that leads to Ivanova inadvertently encouraging Marcus' romantic intentions. We can only imagine what this episode might have been like if JMS' creative process hadn't been so greatly interrupted.

Go over and check them out! Yes, finally, it's here! The long-awaited Deep Geeking #8482; for "Over There", the second episode in Volume 1 of "Babylon 5: The Lost Tales". Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer commence the geeking for the second Lost Tales episode, "Over There", chronologically picking up right after the Keegan MacIntosh interview. We talk about how smoothly Bruce has slipped back into the character of Sheridan, with a little more age and a lot more leadership experience added to season. This story truly showcases some of the best elements that die-hard Babylon 5 fans truly love. We also talk about Sheridan's diatribe about being pulled again into the forefront of seeing a horrible future that needs to be countered before it's too late, and the implications that Technomages and others who keep turning to Sheridan out of a belief that he can change the course of destiny, and make large sections of the universe bend to his will. Talk also ventures from city skyline landmarks of today lasting long into the future, where Vorlon technology may have been scooped up to be analyzed and adapted by humans, and more. Discussion ranges around Sheridan being faced with the conundrum of meeting a jaded innocent, knowing that he might be destined to devastate Earth, and the reality of seeing and talking to a young man who hasn't done anything yet save being born into a poisonous royal court and growing up with the fallout of what his own father almost did to the planet. What to do? What manipulations and machinations truly lie deep in the heart of a Technomage? We may never know.

Summer's literally so rushed off her feet she doesn't have time to post this, so notes by Jarsto. Please, be gentle. Summer, Jeffrey, Tim (the first one) and Tim (the younger) open up the show. The opening pretty soon moves two universes over into the realm of the Jedi. Then it goes to Summer's life as a girl geek. And then to an apology from Jeffrey, for a bad joke he made. Somehow they manage to close the opening and move on with the show. Interview: Keegan Macintosh (Prince Vintari) joins the Babylon Podcast crew for an interview, "confesses" to listening to the show, and moves straight on to mastering the accent, how he got cast as Vintari, and what David Bowie had to do with it. The discussion moves on to the "no mercy" atmosphere among the B5 cast on the set, the nature of green-screen work, and the joy of being a Starfury, both while filming and watching it back on the screen. The "start at season two" B5 recruitment advice leads to a discussion of good television series. Then a brief look back at how Keegan first heard about the role, and a discussion of the potential for more Lost Tales (and more Vintari). Doug Netter's (and JMS's) sense of humor, comparative times spent in makeup for Vintari's hair versus Galen's lack of same, the need to be careful with the hair, the convention scene, Keegan's current lack of website, and possible future parts round out the interview. Fan Cast: The Three-Edged Sword Episode 13: "Examinations and Recalibrations" (TS: 35:06-44:33) This is the long version of TES that will normally only go out on Voices of Babylon, because of the short(ish) show. Finally our intrepid editor Brad, and his lovely assistant Christina, provide a close and explain what's going on with the end of this show (and where the promised geeking on Over There is).

Summer, Jeffrey, and Tim are joined by Brad and Tim A, and the sock puppets just plain take over the joint. Tim throws out a theory for JMS' sock puppet escapade, that maybe there was a method behind the faux madness. And just how can we convince WB that more B5 product from them would be just as well received, if not better, with just a little bit of well-placed advertising? How can it make sense to not advertise a project because you're worried about the financial risk, when running an ad in a space targeted to Babylon 5 fans will ensure maximum saturation in the group most likely and most interested in buying said project? Summer's confused and upset about the lack of support and promotion for "The Lost Tales" DVDs, and Brad wonders if WB does it on purpose. Which opens up ten other cans of worms, but we want to do more, and in return, receive more B5 for it. Interview: Peter Woodward joins an excited B5 crew to talk about his Babylon 5 experience, which all began with his being late for an audition for "A Call to Arms", and how Galen's enigmatic nature just *is*. We hear how yet another cast member would gladly rent out body parts to continue to do more B5 projects, and gives us as much insight into Galen as he can without activating the remote zapper feature in JMS's secret B5 cast crew implant. Peter's also been a cog in other genre shows, with appearances in "Brimstone" and "Stargate", and portraying the Source of All Evil in "Charmed", and he tells us about growing up watching Doctor Who, and enjoying science fiction and it's characters, and more. The Galen-focused show titles get a little silly. images courtesy of Legion Six Victorius and their "Conquest" gallery Fan Cast: The Three-Edged Sword Episode 12: "The Aftermath" (TS: 41:04-46:29) We promise to get to the Deep Geeking on "Over There" next week.

Tim is back, and Jeffrey is Kentucky, and Summer is always here. Jeffrey's wrangled up some "Lost Tales" fan related interviews for us! Also stay tuned for more video content as part of the Lost Tales-apalooza month long (or longer) fest. Interview 1: Adam Francis, production assistant during Season 2, joins us to tell us about how long his fan interest in Babylon 5 extends back, some of the running around he did during his tenure on the show, seeing and talking with the cast and crew he worked with after so much time, and more. Fan Cast: The Three-Edged Sword Episode 10: "The Storm" (TS: 24:01-28:30) What you're hearing here on The Babylon Podcast is just a small part of the story... the full audio drama can be heard at Voices of Babylon, so what are you waiting for? Go over and check them out! Interview 2: Acclaimed conceptual artist Tim Earls rejoins us to give us some of the work he did for "The Lost Tales", mostly storyboarding for all the scenes and visual effects. He also talks about some of the updates that went into set and ship design, and how some of his changes were incorporated into the finished product. Will we ever see the CG-intensive Garibaldi-focused story that Tim laid out? Tim's currently the set designer for the new fall show, "Pushing Daisies", and is working on a still-secret new Serenity project for Quantum Mechanix Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer conclude the geeking for the first episode, "Over Here". We talk about the possible implications of Lochley's theory and solution to the problem of what to do with Simon Burke... what could humanity do without the threat of devils and demons to haunt their dreams, and without a need for the Church amongst the stars? Will ancient evil be left behind when the cradle of humanity vanishes into dust when Sol goes nova? Will new battles be waged for the souls of all races, not just humanity, out beyond our galaxy? And how do we know that all of this couldn't have been investigated by a telepath? Lochley used to have a good relationship with Bester... did what happened during the Telepath War change her willingness to use a telepath first, or did her upbringing cause her to lean towards something in her comfort zone? Babylon 5 Information Gathering: Can we and should we mount a Babylon 5 propaganda campaign, in order to get sales of The Lost Tales to the point where Warner really really wants to greelight more volumes of TLT? Let us know... Also, if you know of a dead or abandoned B5 related website that may be in need of a new home, let Summer know! Summer still needs to find the long versions of the B5 promos that ran on TNT prior to Season 5, the ones narrated by Keith David... anyone have any old VHS copies of S5 they taped from TNT? Specifically, the :30 spots, one featuring Ivanova and the other G'Kar... they were part of the series of ads TNT ran promoting the addition of B5 to their lineup. Jerseys Are Go! (really... we're still moving forward with these!) Interested? Let us know if you'd place a pre-order! Your feedback does matter, and is welcome! You can call us at 206-338-2259, or email us and tell us what you think... and likely hear it played or read on the show. Please try to keep the voicemail comments as brief as possible. Shameless related begging: There's a box of Babylon 5 novels sitting here, books that were rescued from unknown fates at used bookstores in his area by Brad from the PodCulture podcast.

Jeffrey attended the West Hollywood Best Buy "The Lost Tales" release event, which featured Bruce Boxleitner, Tracy Scoggins and Peter Woodward promoting the release of the DVD on July 31, and signing DVDs and other keepsakes for fans. In this first video, Jeffrey interviews the first people in line, including Adam Francis, a former production assistant during the second season, and Robert, who has a rare and collectible B5 item: an original logo design t-shirt that was given out at Comic-Con before production was completed on "The Gathering". It's nice to see other true fans turning out with goodies such as this one! Enjoy! Shows,,Year,2 Tim Callender, Summer Brooks and Jeffrey Willerth no No
