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.]]> http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2011/02/24/babylon-podcast-show-227/feed/ 5 http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2011/02/12/babylon-podcast-show-226/ http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2011/02/12/babylon-podcast-show-226/#comments Sat, 12 Feb 2011 15:15:42 +0000 Summer http://www.babylonpodcast.com/?p=551 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.

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.]]> http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2010/12/10/babylon-podcast-show-222/feed/ 13 http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2010/12/03/babylon-podcast-show-221/ http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2010/12/03/babylon-podcast-show-221/#comments Sat, 04 Dec 2010 02:07:42 +0000 Summer http://www.babylonpodcast.com/?p=543 @babylonpodcast, Summer expressed her disappointment at finding dead space where the b5crusade.com website used to be.
