Listen Later

Continuing to view episodes in the JMS-preferred order, the bottle episode "Eyes" is the next installment up for investigation.


 - What level of enthusiasm did the co-hosts have for this episode?

 - What were the interesting aspects of the Ivanova / Harriman Gray interactions?

 - Is this the only episode in which Major Atumbe is mentioned?  (This isn't a rhetorical question.  I'm actually asking, because I'm not sure.)

 - Which events from earlier in the season get name drops during Col. Ben Zayn's interrogations of the B5 staff?

 - Harriman Gray is played by Jeffrey Combs who's probably well known for his guest roles in Star Trek shows.  How many appearances?  How many shows?

 - What Garibaldi quote from this episode confused Todd and in what way?

 - What were two of Dave's favorite character moments from the episode?

 - What one thing or person encapsulates all of Todd's issues in Brown Sector?

 - Where does Dave stand on Todd's main complaint?

 - What is the main conundrum involving the motivation, mental status, and timing of the Ari Ben Zayn character?

 - How did this episode end up being the responsibility of script supervisor Larry DiTillio, and what were his challenges?

 - What circumstance led to one quick interior scene being done with computer graphics, and why was that perfectly fine with Garibaldi actor Jerry Doyle?

 - Which actor got caught by JMS trying to sneak the weird name of his band's next album into some alien dialogue?

 - Why is the episode called "Eyes"?

 - And, what do we cover in the Spoiler Zone this week?


Listen now for the answers to these and other probing questions as we take a deep look into..."Eyes."

Public domain music used in this episode...

- Intro / Transition Into Spoiler Zone / Outro:  "P----'s Lullaby" by Alexander Nakarada via FreePD.com  (Note:  This song sounds perfect for the intro to season 1 of the podcast, but it has an unfortunate name that includes the last name of a war-loving leader of a certain Eurasian country.  From now on, I'm just going to sensor the P-word in the name of the song.)
