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.

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?

In this episode, Tim and Summer discuss “The Long Road”, the games technomages play, whether or not dragons should still invoke a primal fear in space-faring races, and more.
Tim has a different appreciation for this episode when watched in the current order, and Summer likes how much better some of the character relationships have developed in this current viewing order.

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Bret discuss “The Memory of War”, and this one, in Tim’s estimation, disappoints.
Talk ranges from the music matching the dramatic sequences and falling short on the action sequences, the quality of the CG scenes, and throwing the flag on gratuitous use of slow motion effects.
Discussion also touches upon the disappointment at the collapse of the show due to the complex situation surrounding Crusade on TNT and later on SciFi Channel.

A few weeks back on Twitter via @babylonpodcast, Summer expressed her disappointment at finding dead space where the b5crusade.com website used to be. This happened after 2am, and she happened to notice a tweet from Bear McCreary from earlier that evening expressing his excitement about his Human Target compositions… which led Summer to wonder aloud how cool it could be to have Bear score whatever new B5 project Warner Bros has been having secret talks with JMS about. Ah, to dream a little dream…

Speculation abounds surrounding JMS’ announcement that he’s stepping away from the Wonder Woman and Superman monthly comics in order to focus on writing Earth One sequel instead. The full extent of his work slate seems to still be under wraps.
Tim also recounts his appearance on Casting Game Podcast, and gives us a list of who he’d suggest in recasted roles in a new version of “The Gathering” (and yes, we know that Russ was under the shower curtain for the pilot)

Tim and Summer are joined by The Jason Davis to talk about the adventure that was the records excavation that became the new volume “Artifacts from Beyond the Rim”.
Jason talks about how they came across the material by chance, about the perfect timing of it to match up with the B5 Books 5th Anniversary, and the depth and breadth of the materials they found.
And Summer really hopes the merchandising gods smile down and make it possible for us to get a Psi-Corps manual based on JMS’ notes and input, and maybe get a few more original novels into the publishing pipeline.

The first minor quakes have begun: Warner Bros has called JMS regarding preliminary inquiries on another Babylon 5 project. We eagerly await more news!
Lensman Spotting: The over/under on Tim’s first Lensman comment was 4 minutes. See your boohkie, or drink 4 shots
