The Babylon Podcast

Deep Geeking: This week, Tim and Summer delve into discussion about "No Surrender, No Retreat". We talk about the decision to ask the League to stay on the sidelines until the fighting's done; the timing of some of the events in the course of the episode; the difference between Sheridan choosing a philosophical solution to end the Shadow War versus resorting to a shooting fight to free the colonies that were under siege; and more.

Deep Geeking: This week, Tim, Summer and special guest Gary discuss "Moments of Transition". There's some disagreement on the perceived speed of Neroon's change of heart, some great appreciation of Ivanova's performance in the final scene, and more.

Interview: B5 fans have always been creative. This week, we are happy to introduce you to the "League of Non-Aligned Knitters"... B5 Fans Who Knit.

Tim, Summer, and Jeffrey chat with Catherine, Heather, Laura, Amanda, and Elizabeth about the convergence of Babylon 5 viewing and knitting (and other scifi shows). There are practical applications for scifi fans to know how to knit... you're going to have to make your own clothing after the zombie apocalyse, ya know.

Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer chat about "Rumors, Bargains and Lies". Everyone on B5's playing an angle, but who's really running the game and who's being played?

Zombielon 5?

Feedbackapalooza: Or would this week better be called Garypalooza? Either way, the Vorlon is easily amused when listening to phone spam with audio effects applied to the clip.

Deep Geeking: This week, Tim and Summer chat about "Conflicts of Interest". Tim points out how much more CGI was in this episode than usual, and appreciates how the heightened tensions were played out between characters.

We discuss how much of Garibaldi's alienation of his friends is likely the result of the programming "enhancing" some of his natural tendencies, and of the machinations that both Sheridan and Delenn must start putting in motion to save their resepective homeworlds.

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Brad chat about "Lines of Communication". The funny thing is, Tim has no recollection of seeing this episode ever before. There must be a rogue PsiCop around doing mind wipes, because it's very very hard to forget the dancing Drakh scene.

Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer talk about "Racing Mars", delving into the abundant humor playing around the relationship between Franklin and Marcus and their cover story for going to Mars, in Ivanova relieving Sheridan of duty and in trying to make deals with smugglers in the hopes of opening up new supply lines for the station.

Deep Geeking: This week, Tim and Summer talk about "Atonement", and we pick nits about the pacing and some aspects of the execution in this episode... notably on why Delenn's clan waited so long before taking issue with her relationship with John Sheridan, and what exactly is the purpose of the assistant in The Dreaming, anyway? Was Lennier's guidance colored by his feelings for her, and his subconscious hopes of separating Sheridan and Delenn?

Deep Geeking: This week, Tim and Summer talk about "The Illusion of Truth", and the impact of propaganda, and how Sheridan's hopes for getting their side of the story out to the people of Earth and the Earth Alliance by manipulating the ISN crew that comes on board backfire, creating the exact opposite impression that they wanted to make.

Discussion: Mike plays a B5/Gnome mashup that appeared in the Slice of SciFi Voicemail Show... Garden Gnome 5!
