Jeffrey wants to bolt and celebrate Kosho de Mayo, because his homemade margarita mix (using a "low carb" version) just isn't kickin' it... We chat a little bit about the Forbidden Planet and the leaking of the planned script, and the seeming addiction some people have that causes them to steal and leak unfinished products. Is it a cry for attention, an inner reaction to having no outlet for their own creative process, or just plain potential greed? Visit GoToMeeting.com/techpodcasts for a FREE 30 day trial!! Deep Geeking: This week, the Deep Geeking covers "The Paragon of Animals". Examination of B5's new telepath colony, and the start of Lyta's journey of independence, begins here. We also see the development of the Declaration of Principles, and how much it means to have the Alliance start off on the higher path that Sheridan and Delenn hopes they can all take. Discussion: Jeffrey wonders how the hell Tim and Summer can wrangle 250 podcast episodes out of a series that ran for less than half that total, and he's very afraid. We may not be Cylons, but we have a plan. Gary wants, gosh, he wants a digital version or cross-referenced index or, gosh, just something more 21st century when it comes to the upcoming "Asked and Answered" series; Todd calls in not from his Blackberry Storm, and wants to know if the Voices of Babylon crew might want to do a Crusade storyline after Three-Edged Sword is complete; Gary loved Garibaldi's "Rest Easy, Old Friends" line from the 500 year segment of "Deconstruction"; Gary has suggestions for lines for the podcast's Season 5 opener next year; Gary tells Mark from Miami/Daytona to go check out the forums and chat him up over there (yes, we've finally gone meta); Arkle busts Jeffrey's chops over football teams, and Summer returns serve over the hockey teams... And then the end of the episode runs off the rails because Skype threw Jeffrey a curveball, and he decided to listen to an episode of The Squint Squad podcast with us still on the line... yay technology! It is to laugh! Second Life Info: FarPoint Media's Second Life space is now part of the village that encompasses Third Life Books.

Jeffrey pokes fun at Tim and Summer's consternation at not having a larger pool of contest entries to choose a winner from... or even someone who's gotten all of the voices guessed correctly. (this was recorded on March 18th, so the contest is already over) We also hit a tangent about the death of the SciFi Channel. Summer rants. And she's not the only one who's a tad annoyed. Not by a long shot. Now she wants to implement a plan to create her owned damned spec-fic channel. Not a Cylon plan, but a plan nonetheless. Interview: Stephen Furst joins us to reminisce about directing "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars"... at least, that was the initial plan. And as we all know, the most entertaining shows always veer off their intended courses... "Babylon 5: The Musical"... 'nuff said! Stay tuned next week for a super-sized Feedbackapalooza! Discussion: In honor of Show #150, Jeffrey wonders how in the world we've done more podcast episodes than actual show episodes in existence, and Mike wonders how this tiny show grew to have a gravity well strong enough to pull him and Brad in for keeps. And then the talk wanders into the realm of space junk, and completely hijacks the intended topic of discussion... again!

Interview: This week, George Johnsen, Babylon 5 co-producer (and apparently one of Jeffrey's cohorts in mischief), at last joins us! Jeffrey had been trying for a while to get George on the show, but George is a busy busy guy. He's worked on a lot of the films and shows we love, and he loves the scifi! We talk to George about the show, including some of the questions sent in by listeners, and the anecdotes and production details are both fascinating and fall-down funny. Did you know George was also an original Cylon? Summer didn't, and that just warms her heart. This is an interview you have to hear again and again, and you won't care that it runs the full hour. 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. Second Life Info: FarPoint Media's castle is at http://slurl.com/secondlife/beraudes/203/151/49.
