The Babylon Podcast

Feedbackapalooza: Telepath smackdown? Either way, this episode seems to be chock full of questions from Adam from start to finish.

Tim and Summer chat with Marjean Holden, our honorary co-host for this episode!

Marjean talks about her ventures into writing for television and film, her love of the science fiction genre, the anticipation of experiencing Crusade's story shift after they'd found the cure but would be chased down to prevent them from distributing it, and the loss of not being able to follow and finish that story.

Let's start the rumor mill ourselves: Marjean Holden is on board for that secret Crusade miniseries project!

We have more voicemail from you guys to go through! Tim and Summer also lament the fact that they completely forgot to ask David Allen Brooks about the pak'ma'ra porn gag.

Kudos to Gary's April Fool's Joke that he posted here... but be wary of payback in kind, sweetheart!

Tim and Summer chat with David Allen Brooks, about how he got into acting, how he approached the character of Max Eilerson, the research into being a scientist and archaeologist, the differences he observed between working on a science fiction drama compared to "just another" police procedural, the fans of Max, where Max's story arc might have taken him, and much more.

The Babylon 5 Scripts Team sent Tim and Summer a surprise this week, and just around the same time that they are releasing this latest scriptbook into the wild, you can hear us give you a sneak peek into the book's contents.

Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer are joined by The Jason Davis and Edmund Boys to discuss "The Path of Sorrows".

Questions abound because of this episode, about the pasts of our crew, about how many more secrets may have been revealed to us over time, and much more.

Jason talks about how this episode was one of the points of contention between TNT and JMS because it was character building (just not how they asked for it?), and more.

Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer discuss "Patterns of the Soul", an episode that gives us our first glimpse of conspiracies and ulterior motives that may be exploiting opportunities brought about after the introduction of the plague to the human population.

They discuss what types of patterns the episode title might refer to, and how the various secrets being guarded by each party involved in this encounter are related, in how they color everyone's actions.

We have a report from Danny in Adelaide about Armageddon Expo! He talks about Pat Tallman's appearance and a Skype call from JMS. The big news is about the Sherlock Holmes Arthur Conan Doyle-Harry Houdini story that JMS sold to Dreamworks, and that there are whispers in the dark about a Babylon 5 project broached by WB to The Great Maker.

Summer has Stone Levitation, Bret has Jack Daniels and Diet Coke, and Tim is drinking red wine and eating M&Ms. That explains a lot about Tim, doesn't it?

It's Feedback Time

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Bret chat about "Each Night I Dream of Home", an episode that ties into the importance of Excalibur's mission, and shows us just how complex the task of decoding the Drakh plague virus truly is.

Tim recalls how he originally disliked this episode, because of what he thought was the "stunt casting" of characters from the original series to hook old fans; and Summer disagrees that it was "stunt casting" solely to garner ratings for TNT.
