The books in order are "The Long Night of Centauri Prime", "Armies of Light and Dark", and "Out of the Darkness" (the third book is out of print, but not quite as hard to find as it had been in previous years). This was the second of the Babylon 5 trilogies that are considered canon. Tim feels this is the weakest of the trilogies, while Joe feels it's stronger than most people give it credit for, and one of the strongest franchise series he's ever read.

Where to begin with the commentary and the criticism? Much of the dissatisfaction that we feel with these books likely comes from a combination of the main characters authentic voices being slightly off, plus the impression that the events of the books didn't matter, that they fell into the trap of hitting the "reset" button after the end of the "episode", which is one of the things that we loved about Babylon 5 that the various Star Trek series couldn't adhere to most of the time. editor's note: And yes, Summer made an error, the novelization that JMS rejected way back when was the one for "River of Souls", not for "Thirdspace"]]> http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2012/08/03/babylon-podcast-show-269/feed/ 12 http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2012/08/02/babylon-5-tweets-seen-today/ http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2012/08/02/babylon-5-tweets-seen-today/#comments Fri, 03 Aug 2012 05:30:48 +0000 Summer http://www.babylonpodcast.com/?p=702 http://www.babylonpodcast.com/2012/08/02/babylon-5-tweets-seen-today/feed/ 0
