The Babylon Podcast

Tim, Summer and Bret and special guest Gary from Jacksonville weigh in from their respective corners for the "Day of the Dead" smackdown you've all been waiting for!

We field questions from the voicemail bucket, and argue amongst ourselves so long that we made Mike squirm, yet in the end, we still didn't manage to do anything beyond continuing to agree to disagree.

But the fact that Tim still thinks that "Day of the Dead" is worse than "Thirdspace" is borderline criminal.

Tim, Jeffrey, Michael and Bret discuss just about anything and everything about the women of Babylon 5 and the portrayal of sex and sexuality on the show.

The only thing missing was a wall full of pinups for them to daydream over.

Fear not, there will soon be a girls night out where we'll discuss sex a little bit more, and also the Babylon 5 beefcake selection!

Tim, Summer and Bret weigh in on "Thirdspace", the good the bad and the ugly of the movie. One of the TNT projects, it was much anticipated, but contained a few more warts than the die-hard B5 fans had become accustomed to over the previous seasons.

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer, Jeffrey and Bret discuss the story they love, in particular the moments or story arcs that they each would have liked to have seen more of (or seen much less of) during the course of the series.

The missteps, the grand designs, the twists that worked and the ones that didn't, we open several cans of worms, and still manage to leave enough material untouched to continue this discussion at a later date.

Voicemails, plus emails.

With conjecture and tangents.

More Lazy Show Notes.

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer, Bret, Jeffrey, and Chuck discuss "In the Beginning", the first of the Babylon 5 TV movies, and how it functions as a vehicle to introduce the series to a brand new audience coming in via TNT, and to the existing fans who may not have been able to see all of the previous four seasons due to inconsistencies in syndicated broadcast times.

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer, Jeffrey, and Bret embark on the emotional journey that is "Sleeping In Light".

Even after 12 years, the emotional impact of Sheridan realizing that his time is up, and that he has to say goodbye to Delenn still stings us.

Interview: The Jason Davis, Senior Editor at Synthetic Worlds Publishing, chats with Tim, Summer, and Bret about Crusade: Behind the Scenes, which is available for purchase right now at Babylon 5 Books.

At long last, Jeffrey has found his snow. And we're working on having a field reporter out at the next shuttle launch!!

And now, for the voicemails:

Interview: Jerry Doyle stops by to chat with Tim, Summer, and Bret about his time on Babylon 5 and his memories of working on the series, his new career as a talk show host, his observations on the political and financial state of the country, and his new book Have You Seen My Country Lately?
