Our Last, Best Hope for Babylon 5 Fans
Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Jeffrey talk about “Exogenesis”. Don’t forget, this is the episode where Steve “Snackman” Thorpe, Carrie Dobro and Jeffrey all appear as med techs (we didn’t, and we have a little fun with Jeff about that).
Remembrances: Jeffrey and John Radulovich pay tribute to producer / director Richard Compton, who passed away on August 11.
Deep Geeking: The Deep Geeking this week features Tim, Summer and in-studio guest Philip from Australia talking about “Dust to Dust”. Yes, Summer got to the studio, and yes, the geeking runs really long. Enjoy!
Deep Geeking: The Deep Geeking commences again with Tim, Summer and Keith talking about “Voices of Authority”, from Season 3.
Listener Feedback: Voicemails, and emails, and riddles… oh my! Summer misses the Haikus.
Listener Feedback: Lots of it! Emails first, then voicemails. Anyone out there interested in buying any of the last remaining VHS copies of “Babylon Park”?
Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer commence the geeking for the second Lost Tales episode, “Over There”, chronologically picking up right after the Keegan MacIntosh interview.
We talk about how smoothly Bruce has slipped back into the character of Sheridan, with a little more age and a lot more leadership experience added to season. This story truly showcases some of the best elements that die-hard Babylon 5 fans truly love.
Interview: Keegan Macintosh (Prince Vintari) joins the Babylon Podcast crew for an interview, “confesses” to listening to the show, and moves straight on to mastering the accent, how he got cast as Vintari, and what David Bowie had to do with it.
Interview: Peter Woodward joins an excited B5 crew to talk about his Babylon 5 experience, which all began with his being late for an audition for “A Call to Arms”, and how Galen’s enigmatic nature just *is*.
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”.
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!
Interview 1: Adam Francis, production assistant during Season 2, joins us to tell us about how far back his fan interest in Babylon 5 extends, some of the running around he did during his tenure on the show, and more.
Interview 2: Acclaimed conceptual artist Tim Earls rejoins us to give us some of the work he did for “The Lost Tales”, mostly storyboarding for all the scenes and visual effects.
