Welcome to Show #55!
Jeffrey’s back in LA, and is confused about his holidays. We are really running thin with the Kosh puns, aren’t we? Tim and Jeffrey wax poetic about NASCAR track experiences and memories, and who knew that Jeff raced?
The station is subjected to an unexpected influx of 25,000 troops, ground-pounders — GROPOS — who are told they are on their way to a standard rotation to Io, but are in fact on their way to a potentially questionable battle at the request of an alien government. Their commanding officer, General Franklin, is Dr Franklin’s estranged father, and their emotional strain is present the entire time.
“GROPOS” is available for download from iTunes.

Listener Feedback: Jarsto comments on Show #53, especially the contrast in behaviors between G’Kar and Londo and Refa; Gary from Jacksonville wants input on where Talia might have progressed had she stayed on the show; Alan from the UK thanks us for getting him hooked on Babylon 5, despite his misgivings about the CGI; Edmund from Greenville comments on the “Coming of Shadows” discussion is Show #53. Tim reads emails from Joshua, who gives an unlikely theory behind the appearance of a Morden doppleganger in “The Gathering”; Katrina comments on Matt Stoner’s possible involvement in the assassination attempt on Londo in “Soul Mates”; Roz sends a response to Jarsto to us… um, wait… when did we become Jarsto’s message service?! Warlord gives us canonical proof from “The Shadow Within” that it was not Morden stationed on B5 in “The Gathering”.
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.
Shameless related begging: Summer’s also really hoping to convince the publisher to eventually do a collection on Babylon 5. If you’d be interested in buying one if they did do a B5 collection, let Summer know.

Great show once again.
Summer, just to let you know, i’d buy the B5 collection, this would be the year to do it since The Lost Tales are coming out.
During the confusion in holidays, someone mentioned “Ash Wednesday” but somehow no one else heard it. Man, that one lends itself perfectly to a Kosh holiday. I bet you can guess what it is.
Additionally, I will agree that the guy in C and C was Borden, Morden’s long lost, non-shadow-influenced twin brother, whom no one, not even Morden, was aware of. Thanks Tim!
