Welcome to Show #33!
Interview: John Copeland, producer for Babylon 5
Listener Feedback: Tim sometimes doesn’t pay attention. This is what happens when he doodles too much. We have voicemails about why Talia had to do the mind scan in “The Quality of Mercy”, bringing up the question of nature vs nurture; a message about statute of limitations for punishment; Steve in Denver comments on Tim’s viewpoint on the Vorlons; Joe from Michigan comments on the alleged time paradox in “Babylon Squared”; Jonathan in California comments again on whether the Vorlons adhered to Valen’s prophecies or not. We also go through a handful of emails… and we’re still not caught up on your feedback!
Your feedback does matter, and is welcome! You can call, 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.

I can’t get this episode to download via iTunes. Other podcasts download fine. Is this an issue you are aware of, by any chance? If not, thought I’d mention it.
Great show. I hope you have John back to talk about some of the shows he directed — particularly “Objects at Rest” — the final episode shot of the series. It was a very emotional time for everyone and it would be interesting to hear his take on how it felt to see it all end.
I worked with John for three years on B 5 and I must say that he has not changed a bit. He is still as thoughtful and open as he was way back then. I hope we get to work together again some time soon.
Actually just to demon-straight how honest he was, when we were starting the third season of B 5 I went to him and asked if all of the grips names could be posted in the credits at the end of each show. He explained why that would not be possible. Then I said “What if we rotated everyones names so everyone on the grip crew got their name on every third show or so”? He thought about it, and agreed, and he did it. I can not tell you how much that meant to everyone on the crew to have their names represented.
Thanks Again, John!
