Yes, ten years ago, people. A treatment for this movie exists in Scriptbook Volume 10, and the full script is in the TV Movies scriptbook, so compare and contrast at your leisure. Let the nitpicking begin: there aren't many real issues with the actual story, just some execution miscues.]]> http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2012/02/15/babylon-podcast-show-259/feed/ 2 http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2012/02/01/babylon-podcast-show-258/ http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2012/02/01/babylon-podcast-show-258/#comments Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:05:10 +0000 Summer http://www.babylonpodcast.com/?p=640 Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer discuss the unproduced Crusade script, "Little Bugs Have Lesser Bugs", which was written by Peter Woodward and slated to be a Season 2 episode. The larger implications from the plot of this script are intriguing, given that it revealed a previously unknown vulnerability in the Drakh, and also gives us a storytelling conundrum, trying to obsessively figure out where in Season 2 this episode would have aired.]]> http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2012/02/01/babylon-podcast-show-258/feed/ 1 http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2012/01/18/babylon-podcast-257/ http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2012/01/18/babylon-podcast-257/#comments Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:22:48 +0000 Summer http://www.babylonpodcast.com/?p=639 Feedbackapalooza Time!

As always, Captain Gideon's dogged pursuit of the truth behind the destruction of his old ship leads him and his crew into knowledge that shakes their trust in their superiors, and Gideon himself to a personal crossroads... and a cliffhanger that could have been as intriguing as Z'ha'dum leading into Hour of the Wolf.]]> http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2011/12/14/babylon-podcast-256/feed/ 3 http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2011/11/30/babylon-podcast-show-255/ http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2011/11/30/babylon-podcast-show-255/#comments Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:26:33 +0000 Summer http://www.babylonpodcast.com/?p=635 Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Bret talk about the unproduced Crusade scripts that would have made up the Dureena Trilogy (the stories to explain her absence after her initial contract expired): "War Story", "The Walls of Hell" and an untitled story by JMS. Also discussed are three spec pitches by Richard Mueller, for "Fire in the Blood", "House Odds", and "Mixed Blessings".

This would have been a remarkable Dureena performance, and comparisons can be drawn between this draft and what we saw in Season 4's "Intersections in Real Time", especially given the "one room play" stage-like setting in both stories.
