And we’re working on having a field reporter out at the next shuttle launch!! Voicemails: Rod in Nashville thinks we missed out on the full drama content of “Wheel of Fire”; Father B comments on Londo’s sacrifice in “Fall of Centauri Prime” matching up with Lady Morella’s prophecies; Edmund disagrees with Londo’s acceptance of his fate with the Drakh as part of being slave to his visions; Gary posits that he can come up a never-ending stream of voicemails for us to talk about, even if we run out of B5 material to cover; Arkle says the Sheridan surprise in “Wheel of Fire” was spoiled by the episodic trailer; Colin compares Elric’s prediction for Londo with the sky-holoprojection of Londo’s coronoation speech; Gary wonders what about having been influenced by Vorlons makes Sheridan immune to Lyta’s attempts at mind control; Rod in Nashville says the plot flow issues from “Movements of Fire and Shadow” stem from it really needing to be “Fall”, part 1; Rod has a theory about how far and wide the Drakh had planted bombs all around Centauri Prime; Gary muses on how different the Garibaldi intervention might have been if he’d been confronted by Ivanova rather than Lochley; Rod wonders about our fascination with the Drakh keeper removal scene, and doesn’t think the sound was authentically “squishy” enough; Gary draws a comparison between G’Kar’s rejection of the offer of leadership, and Londo’s resigned acceptance of leadership; Father B weighs in on the issue of alcoholism; Edmund adds his thoughts on the Lyta rummaging around in Garibaldi’s dreams; wonders where the name “Ulkesh” came from for the replacement Vorlon; Gary is bored enough to wonder why the podcast album art depicts Tim as a Centauri and Summer as wearing the Army of Light; Colin asks for some clarification on the original story timeline based on our comments about the way “Fall” felt like an ending; Edmund shows his appreciation for the holiday specials; Father B thinks that Tim might have deeper issues with “Day of the Dead” and other leaps of spiritual faith depicted in B5 than he’s letting on Submitting your own Feedback: If you have any suggestions or comments, please let us know!

Visit GoToMeeting.com/techpodcasts for a FREE 30 day trial!! Feedbackapalooza: Voicemail highlights this episode: Arkle theorizes on the real reason for some of the fans’ deep dislike of Byron; the three unproduced Crusade scripts are summarized in the Crusade supplement of the Babylon 5 Role Playing Game book… who knew? Hated Bunny wants to know if the “original trilogy” of novels will be amongst the books we’ll be covering when we start discussing the B5 novels… since those aren’t canon and are most likely the unauthorized books published by Mongoose, it’s doubtful and highly unlikely, since we thought that none of those were ever published; Gary relates to us a reason why 7-years-old may be too young to being indoctrination into Babylon 5; Cathy from the League of Non-Aligned Knitters lets us know that her daughter began watching B5 at 10-years-old, and has watched most of the episodes 5-6-7 times each, and is impressed by her daughter’s geek prowess; Neil listened to the JMS interview again and notes that the quality of the CGI for when it was done was tops for when it was done, and Summer wonders if the cases for the newly released “repackaged” DVD sets are the same or if they’re redesigned; In responding to more emails about “Day of the Dead”, the banter devolves into thumb wrestling battles and Rock-Em Sock-Em Robots challenges.

We miss the Vorlon, but he’s being wined and dined, so it’s all good.

Feedbackapalooza Jr: Because of rogue tachyons bombarding the area around Draco Vista Studios, we are experiencing a causality break that threw spatial-temporal ordering into disarray, giving us 3 Summers but no Tim, no Jeffrey and no Mike. So in order to prevent any permanent damage to the space-time continuum, we bring you a special episode: Feedbackapalooza Jr! Gary wants to know if Lochley ever specifically stated which side of the Earth Civil War she was on; Gary was amused by the GoToMeeting ads; Gary is shopping for tequila and follows Jeffrey’s recommendation; Gary wonders if there was a parallel between the different seasons of B5 and the different chapters viewed in “Deconstruction of Falling Stars”; Gary muses on whether or not Lennier thinks joining the Rangers will improve his chances to be with Delenn after Sheridan dies in 20 years; Tom appreciates the looming feeling of dread cast over Season 5; Tom also loves that Season 5 also breaks all the main characters out of the delineations drawn up for them in Seasons 1-4; next, Tom gives a Star Trek analogy for the character shifts we see in Season 5. Arkle adds some perspective on the “Vorlon on the Roof”, and wonders why Summer didn’t like the segment with the monks from “Deconstruction”; Doug surmises that maybe the shrapnel from shooting through ducts caused the injury that bled (shenanigans!); Brian solves the problem of what color bunny ears the Easter Kosh would be wearing; Gary thought that Lochley had more of a command presence than Ivanova and Sheridan right from the start. Emails: Steven wonders if it would be possible to get an interview with Haley McLane, the voice of the station’s computer; Robinson wonders if Jerry Doyle could be the love child of Bruce Willis and Terry O’Quinn… and John provides some info on why the Space Shuttle couldn’t manuever from the Hubble to the ISS, and suggests playing with the Orbiter Flight Sim game. From deep in the Vorlon archives, Summer-3 reads a memo about a B5 story making the cover of a magazine called “The Screening Room”, and the article about the acquisition of B5 by TNT.

Discussion: Tim and Summer revisit the discussion about Ivanova’s “I am Death Incarnate” declaration before leading the White Star fleet up against the advanced EA Destroyer fleet. We compare it to President Laura Roslin’s speech from the recent BSG Season 4 episode “Blood on the Scales”, and Summer amends her previous assessment of Ivanova’s speech. She doesn’t hate it, like Tim and Mike do, but it definitely doesn’t rank as high in her estimation as before. Voicemail: Arkle adds his thoughts about and full support for Ivanova’s “Death Incarnate” speech; Todd from Grand Rapids adds his comments about the Ivanova speech; a comment on how maybe they did hang up on Ivanova during her speech and no one told her about it. Troy sent an email saying that Tim’s wrong about Ivanova’s speech, and how apropos it is for a warrior walking into her death; another email thinks that it appropriately displays her state of being near the breaking point, under the pressures of leading the fleet and being worried about Sheridan’s welfare in captivity. Bethany from Oklahoma is catching up after being without Internet access while in Colorado for a month, and she watched episodes of “Babylon 5″ on her drive back home through the Rocky Mountains… good thing she didn’t really have to watch the screen rather than the road; comments on the various themes in “Between the Darkness and the Light”, with the struggles of many of the characters being echoes of the title; Dave from Kentucky lets us know that there’s a large selection of Babylon 5 ships done in Legos; Doug calls in about #134 and the difference in sizes between the B4 and B5 stations; Gary has a question for Jeffrey about the Babylon 5 Mall Tour mentioned in some old issues of “The Universe Today”, and Jeffrey tells us what he remembers about the tour, a promotional venture by TNT to promote the upcoming new Season 5 episodes (paging Sandy Bruckner!) Gary sends his apologies to Jeffrey for bringing Ed Wasser to the show for us to talk with; Edmund from Greenville wants to chat about “Intersection in Real Time”, and how it originally was slated to be the Season 4 finale, and thinks the way we ended up receiving the shows works better than the original plan; Bethany from Oklahoma shares her thoughts on “Intersections in Real Time”; Kate from Chicagoland has issues with the Shadow War wrapping up too quickly; Neil from Bowie comments on his shiny new copy of the TV Movies Scriptbook; Bethany from Oklahoma comments on the discussion for “Exercise of Vital Powers”; Gary lets us know that JMS didn’t win the BAFTA for The Changeling, and Jeffrey says that the winner, In Bruges, is well worth checking out.

Sizemore are still in on the Feedback Fun. Colin doesn’t appreciate the tone of JMS’ announcement; Freehold South chimes in on the JMS announcement, and feels blindsided by it; Bethany from OK comments on “Into the Fire”, agreeing with Tim’s desire to see what was going on in the Alliance ships saving Sheridan and Delenn, and disagreeing with Summer calling the Vorlons/Shadows “whiny”. Email from Jerry in Ashburn comments on alternatives to deeper explorations of the revelations from “Into the Fire”, and suggests that “Intersections in Real Time” could have been cut (we disagree!); Edmund weighs in on the JMS announcement, theorizing that JMS might be trying to flex his newly found status to see what he might be able to create; John in Birmingham agrees with Brad’s viewpoint on JMS’ announcement (a comment from PodCulture). New question: Vipers vs Starfuries? What do you think? Summer thinks the Vipers might actually take out the Starfuries, and while Thunderbolts might fare a shade better, they’d still lose out. Mike Smithwick responds with what he would have cut from B5, and what he would have added in; Ann in CA wonders if JMS’ announcement was more of an indication that he hasn’t had the chance to really focus on creating more B5 stories, be it lack of time or introduction of a block; an X-Files tangent leads to a comparison between Chris Carter’s long-term work versus JMS’ long-term work. Jeffrey notes that we haven’t gotten Christopher Franke and Ed Wasser for us to talk to, and promises to do better; comments on inconsistencies “Into the Fire”; Andy comments on the “Into the Fire” discussion, and chimes in on what he thinks could have happened had Londo failed in his plan to kill Cartagia and destroy the Shadow ships on Centauri Prime; Valerie in MD disagrees with Tim’s opinion that “The Long Night” was a bad title… she also would love to listen to a Lensman podcast, and is waiting for our commentary on the Script Books (we’re working on that last one). Go check out Deep Geeking when you get a chance, and if you want to contribute a geeking essay, get ahold of Summer.

Bill laments the poor portrayal of Nightwatch members in “Ceremonies of Light and Darkness”; Molly adds a theory about the failure (or non-activation) of the Z’ha’dum planetary defense systems; Brendan wants to know how young someone can successfully be introduced to Babylon 5, and we suggest he start listening to How to Grow Your Geek, hosted by Susie the Southern Geek.

Sorry this is late to the feed… technical issues ran rampant. Tim, Summer, Jeffrey and Michael are joined by Anna, live in studio (she’s in town for a conference), and she’s just in time to experience Feedbackapalooza! But first, Summer gets to ask Jeffrey about the production side of detonating Kosh’s helmet in “Falling Towards Apotheosis”, and we learn about the dangers of using too much primacord on a television set. Voicemail: Eli from Portland contrasts Vir’s and Londo’s ability to apologize; Gary wonders about the discrepancies between Vorlons creating human telepaths and the assumption that they were created as cannon fodder in the war; Gary again, wanting to know about the state of homelessness on Earth and buying into the government’s statement that no one was homeless; Bethany from OK is angry that none of the BSG people realize that their story’s roots come from trails blazed by B5 and other old scifi shows; Gary disagrees with Tim’s comment that the Shadows didn’t have a Sheridan contingency plan; John from Jersey got his Script Book Volume 15; Gary relays JMS’ comments on the monster in “Grey 17 is Missing”; Starfury spotted at the Air & Space Museum; Gary again, thanking Brad’s editing skills in pulling the finished show together; John from Jersey comments on the B5 episode scheduling during first run (one more time, it was different in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh); Gary wonders why it seems that Morden is still hanging out on the station after the Shadows start moving openly; Josh from Bangor weighs in on the Shadows picking Garibaldi’s Starfury out of the pack that was milling around.

Jeffrey’s happy, preparing to celebrate Kosho de Mayo, and giddy about the Dodgers winning big. Because Jeff’s heading out to Hawaii, talk wandered over to his appearance on the show in a Hawaiian shirt and overalls. Community Project: Find the Hawaiian shirts worn on the show. We need to make a list. JMS will be attending Cannes Film Festival, to screen Changeling, and is all sorts of busy writing other feature film scripts. Could JMS be writing the screenplay for Lensman? Summer is intrigued about the prospect of a movie about Rising Stars. Listener Feedback: Feedbackapalooza! It’s a word that’s sticking now. Mick comments on the baseball talk in both Babylon 5 and Star Trek: in B5, baseball is still alive, and in Star Trek the sport is long dead, but in DS9 baseball is back and strong. How’d that happen? Mick also points out other similarities between B5 and DS9. Gary wants to know what screen credits Jeffrey has where he can be seen sans encounter suit, and asks again about the Mayport story. Should there be a warning label for the George Johnsen interview? We can’t help it if you laugh out loud and distract your co-workers. One vote submitted for a SciFi AllStars baseball team… and a question on whether Marcus could play baseball extrapolated from his skill with a Minbari fighting pike. Bethany from OK comments on “And The Rock Cried Out…” and on the one B5 episode to show someone new to the series. Eli thinks we missed a point in talking about “Z’ha’dum”, the hypocrisy/irony of Justin’s statements to Sheridan. Scott from the Gigcast proudly announces that he’s rented Season 1 Disc 1 and is about to dive into the series for the first time. Theory: Zima is the modern replacement to the never-endingly regifted fruitcake. That’s the real reason why Zima exists in the 24th century… it kept getting passed on. Edmund adds some info from the Technomage trilogy to explain what happened during the White Star assault on Z’ha’dum (Galen did it). This leads to a discussion about what was going on on Z’ha’dum, if there was sleeping, or if it was a trap, or something else. Non-sequitur: Pixar, Disney, wha? Emails: Kurt from St George drops by the studio! Warlord adds commentary from JMS about the sacrifice of the White Star, taken from the back of one of the cards in the second series of trading cards. Aristotle wonders about how to direct new listeners to special podcast episodes first. Emily wonders about matching up Romo Lampkin vs Mr Morden. Jeffrey S wonders why human telepaths need to be on a line of sight when the Minbari telepaths could interfere with the Shadow ships from safely in the depths of their ships. Gene from Greenville wonders what we’d want from what might be your last care package from home. Bill points out what he thinks is the worst plot hole in “Grey 17 is Missing”. Kate from Chicagoland wonders what Kosh’s personal effects may have been. Second Life Info: FarPoint Media’s castle is at http://slurl.com/secondlife/beraudes/203/151/49.

In the email feedback, Tim reads messages from Kate from Chicagoland, who wants to hear us chat with Kim Strauss about being “the alien of the week”; Mike S wonders if JMS may have intentionally picked a list of SF conventions to break during the evolution of the show; and Andrew laments how a Star Trek podcast made CNN, while a Babylon 5 podcast doesn’t… and would love to hear from Claudia again.

B5 Audio Drama: The Three-Edged Sword Episode 15: “Moments of Reflection” (TS: 37:50-43:45) What you’re hearing here on The Babylon Podcast is just a small part of the story… the full audio drama can be heard at Voices of Babylon, so what are you waiting for? Go over and check them out! Babylon 5 Information Gathering: Can we and should we mount a Babylon 5 propaganda campaign, in order to get sales of The Lost Tales to the point where Warner really really wants to greelight more volumes of TLT? Let us know… Also, if you know of a dead or abandoned B5 related website that may be in need of a new home, let Summer know! Summer still needs to find the long versions of the B5 promos that ran on TNT prior to Season 5, the ones narrated by Keith David… anyone have any old VHS copies of S5 they taped from TNT? Specifically, the :30 spots, one featuring Ivanova and the other G’Kar… they were part of the series of ads TNT ran promoting the addition of B5 to their lineup. Yes, we really are still working out logistics on the Jerseys. We’ll keep you posted on when you can place your pre-order! 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. Shameless related begging: There’s a box of Babylon 5 novels sitting here, books that were rescued from unknown fates at used bookstores in his area by Brad from the PodCulture podcast. The B5 library collection grows… if you have a request, send it in.

Jeffrey is in the main studio in Phoenix, Tim the Younger has joined us, and Petter Hansen (Warlord in IRC), is visiting us. His server in Norway handling the live feed, and he has arrived bringing Norwegian beer for the boys to consume. Warning: This episode runs far off the beaten geeky path from the very beginning, and there is much silliness sprinkled in with the B5 content. Studio Banter: Jeffrey gets the scoop from Petter on Babylon 5 viewing and fandom in Norway; Michael and Tim the Younger try to raise elder gods, and we discuss various Lovecraftian influences in the Babylon 5 universe; Jeffrey wants everyone to change their names to fit into the Narn or Minbari naming conventions; Should we update the B5 drinking game rules?

Go over and check them out! Listener Feedback: Mike discusses new B5 swag and props he saw at Dragon*Con; Tim is a recent B5 fan, and has managed to lure his mom into watching the series too; Tim reads an email from Australian contest winner Mark; Steve in MD enjoyed Lost Tales and wants more, but argues about the use of “Colonel” in a ranking system that’s obviously naval based; Mark H comments on Lochley’s comments about leaving the demons behind, thinking that maybe that’s one of the reasons for causing Sol to go nova and destroy Earth in “Deconstruction of Falling Stars”; Neil comments on the argument between Tim and Summer about “Liquid Sky” being a far worse movie than “Armageddon”. Voicemails: Edmund responds to his Fake Edmund responder; John from Jersey begins the commentary on the “Over There” segment of “Lost Tales”, criticizing the portrayal of the Centauri bombardment of Earth as the worse thing Sheridan could have seen… when it’s really not; John from Jersey reminds us that his side is part of the three-edged sword; John in Michigan is on the “Deathwalker” episode, and comments; Edmund on Bronzethumb’s list of LoTR-B5 parallels, and the source of “Last, Best Hope”; John from Jersey with more thoughts on “Over Here”.

We’re running a little behind because of Dragon*Con Recovery Syndrome. Jeffrey is back home in LA, and Summer reminds him that the desert in Phoenix is really hot, and he has to come visit in it, but Tim the Younger promises to take him out to keep hydrated. Jeffrey also assures us that he survived his encounter with military training runs in Fort Knox, with no major or minor injuries to report. Tracy Scoggins scored a movie gig, so she was unable to join us this evening… but she promised to talk to us when she’s got a free moment. Listener Feedback: “The Lost Tales” seems to have brought out many comments from the listeners, and we address a bunch of them here… and in case it wasn’t apparent: Spoilers are contained herein! Molokov from Australia submits a listener review of “The Lost Tales”… we could use more of these.

We think he’s doing research into how the destruction of the agave crops may impact the world’s tequila supply. Summer also mentions that she has a copy of Claudia Christian’s memoir, sent to the studio by Yard Dog Press. Michael is also fascinated by the pencil sketch of Claudia included in the memoir, drawn by Douglas Shuler. This is also a show where being in the chatroom listening to the live feed pays off. The universe can do funny things from time to time, and this is one of those times. Instead of having a regular show, tonight will be all talk with chatroom regulars. First up, is Lambo, co-host of The AstroCast, and he tells us how he got into B5, and how his fascination with the story of “Holy Blood, Holy Grail” led him to assert that Sinclair was truly Valen years earlier than the rest of us. Next, Jan from Denmark defies the late/early hours and joins us in teasing Tim about his phone connection, and shares how he became hooked on B5. He tells us about how the series was aired in Denmark, making it a little more work to get the story in full. He also laments missing out on the con experience so far, and what appealed most to him about the story presented in the show. Lastly, we talk to frequent commenter Gary from Jacksonville, who we seemingly have inspired to not only record segments to send in to the Babylon Podcast, but maybe to eventually create a podcast of his own. Gary tells us about he was a hardcore Trek fan and how his hardline stance against any other SF TV franchise was changed by viewing 5am TNT reruns of B5, and how he went online on dialup to gather the episodes he’d missed to see them. Luckily for him, the DVDs came out and he was able to scarf them all. He also tells us about his comic book collecting, his B5 collecting, and a few things in between. Hey, if you know of a dead B5 website that may be in need of a new home, let Summer know! Listener Feedback: Remember, the FarPoint tag is officially spelled “boohkie”, all because Google kept pulling up websites for bookmakers. Make a note of it. James in Dallas explains his theories on why there’s more than one Zathras, which leads to all sorts of crazy speculation on temporal distortions and duplication of living creatures; Kurt in St George counters Tim’s opinions on “Divided Loyalties”; Edmund phones in a comment about the connections between B5 and events in WWI, WWII, and other historical events; wishes for a History Channel documentary on Babylon 5 like the existing ones for Star Trek and Star Wars. We also intercept a report from Operative Six on the appearance of the alternate personality that we talked to last week, and play a report from Citizen T’jon’s commentary about guests on the show. Summer would also still like to find the B5 specials that aired on TNT and SciFi Channel, especially the long versions of the ads that ran on TNT, the ones narrated by Keith David. Jerseys Are Go!

Listener Feedback: Starting out with comments and emails: Casey on what new Grey Council members are told after they join; Jim Carr on the details of Sinclair’s assignment to Minbar after Santiago’s assassination, as told from the novel “To Dream in the City of Sorrows”; PFerg muses on Psi Corps using mindwipes to create a willing and submissive army of minions.
