Our Last, Best Hope for Babylon 5 Fans
So our discussion about the collection “The Parliament of Dreams: Conferring on Babylon 5” was pushed back a week because of Tim’s work commitments. Without Tim’s input, I don’t think the discussion would have been as lively as it could have been, so I made the executive decision to push for one more week.
But the SF Foundation has given us permission to give you all a gift.
It’s taken longer than anticipated, but the random Babylon Podcast quotes are back in action (see the top of the sidebar).
Thing is, there isn’t a hearty collection of our one-liners, outtakes and gaffes just yet.
Earlier this month, Rowan Kaiser began a rewatch and review of Babylon 5, beginning with the pilot episode, “The Gathering”. His comments led to us having a discussion about Stewart Copeland’s original score, and from there we continue to have more fun talking about one of our all-time favorite shows.
We’ll be taking the month of June off as a hiatus, but we plan to be back on the live stream recording new shows on Wednesday, July 11 2012.
As promised, here are some photos of both the starfury and station models, with comparison shots between the normal stand for the station, and the now-mangled stand for the starfury, complete with the gouge in the base, and snapped off starboard side gun.
This is the Ponyville 5 intro parody that was mentioned in the chat room not too too long ago.
Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves, here in comments!
For upcoming discussions once we’ve finished with Crusade and Legend of the Rangers, we’ll be talking about the comics first, then some of the specialty books, followed by the novels.
We have a big backlog of recorded episodes that Summer is editing. Thanks for your patience as we work through all this.
Recently, io9 (they come from the future) ran a top ten list of all-time best space battle smack talk. Number one of course was from “Wrath of Kahn”. Number 2, however, was Ivanova’s “God sent me” speech.
