Who knew there was a Ducktona 500 and a Kenducky Derby?
Feedbackapalooza: Tim and Summer try to burn through the buildup of voicemails, and we haven’t even gotten to the ones commenting on the JMS interview yet.
The Babylon Podcast, Season Four
Babylon Podcast #162: Interview with J. Michael Straczynski, Part 2
In this hour, JMS talks more with Tim and Summer about the development of Babylon 5 and the pros and cons of continuing or expanding the series, the real reason for putting his foot down on “big budget or nothing”, the broader realities of the hammer lock of Warner Bros has on any future “expanded universe” properties, and more.
Babylon Podcast #161: Interview with J. Michael Straczynski, Part 1
Interview: JMS, The Great Maker, graciously allows Tim and Summer to throw a seemingly endless stream of questions about the origins and creation of Babylon 5, the production and growing pains of the show, and dealing with the vagaries of the industry of Hollywood, the bizarre perfect storm surrounding Crusade on TNT, and more.
Babylon Podcast #160: Learning Curve (Season 5)
Deep Geeking: This week, Tim and Summer delve into “Learning Curve”, and Tim admits that while he likes this episode, there are a few dramatic elements throughout the story where the cliches fell flat for him.
Was it pacing? Timing? Something else entirely?
Babylon Podcast #159: Feedbackapalooza Jr
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!
Babylon Podcast #158: A View From the Gallery (Season 5)
Deep Geeking: This week, Tim and Summer discuss “A View From the Gallery”, the story of a day in the life on the station as seen from two maintenance workers who still need to go about their usual duties in the middle of a dangerous battle situation.
Do you think this episode appropriately captures a view of life on the station for the regular people?
Babylon Podcast #157: Feedbackapalooza
Voicemail: That’s right folks, it’s time for another Feedbackapalooza!
And really, if you hear any messages when you play any of the podcasts backwards, be sure to tell us… it means we didn’t hide them well enough.
Babylon Podcast #156: Interview with Russ Johnson
Interview: We have found the First Vorlon! Russ Johnson, who wore the glide suit during Season 1, before Jeffrey took over the electraglide harness, joins us to reminisce about the early days on set at Babylon 5, and trying to one up each other for… something smelly?
Russ tells us all about the fun he had as part of Optic Nerve, escapades in both the encounter suit and as the drug-dealing cricket in Down Below, having to repeatedly tell TV fans that he was not the actor who played the Professor on Gilligan’s Island, and more.
Babylon Podcast #155: The Paragon of Animals (Season 5)
Deep Geeking: This week, the Deep Geeking covers “The Paragon of Animals”. Examination of B5’s new telepath colony, and the start of Lyta’s journey of independence, begins here. We also see the development of the Declaration of Principles, and how much it means to have the Alliance start off on the higher path that Sheridan and Delenn hopes they can all take.
Babylon Podcast #154: The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari (Season 5)
Deep Geeking: This week, the Deep Geeking covers “The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari”. The introspective journey that Londo takes, and the one that Lennier is about to take, all start here.
Discussion: Welcome to the Dead Tech segment of The Babylon Podcast!
