The Babylon Project Podcast

Yeah, we certainly do have a few lightbulbs going on.

Bester’s got a few ideas to help save his lover involving Z’ha’dum.

Londo has the idea that it might not be quite safe for him on Centauri Prime.  You know, killing the emperor, and all that, might have made a few people vengeful.

Zack thinks it might be a bad idea for Mike to quit and Mike is drawing faces in the mirror.

Lyta has the bright idea to stick it to Bester and Captain Sheridan passes along the idea that sometimes it is better to ask permission rather than forgiveness.

And then there’s all the lightbulbs popping off over the heads of Jim, JP, and Raul.  You’d think it was a camera expo.  Or maybe the lights just all went out and everyone’s in the dark.  You all will have to decide that in this next episode of the Babylon Project Podcast.

That’s one happy Vir!  Londo gave him what he wants.

And episode 406 is giving fans what they want.

What we have been building towards for over three years now comes to a head in this episode.  The Vorlons and the Shadows have been fighting it out … well, more like taking it out on the Younger Races.  Sheridan is going to make sure everyone, Vorlons, Shadows, and the Army of Light all know the truth.

Raul, Jim, and JP talk much about endings this episode.  That’s natural, since this episode marks the end of the Shadow War.  Raul starts on his oft repeated mantra throughout S4, that a particular episode could be a season finale.

But it’s also about beginnings.  Remember, this is only episode 406.  We still have 16 episodes to go in this season and a lot of problems back home for everybody.

Last time, G’kar had the long night.  This time, pretty much everyone else does.

Sheridan has been building the largest fleet in known history to fight both the Vorlons and the Shadows.  At the same time.  That weight certainly ruins the night.

Susan is Russian.  Of course she’s having a bad night.  On the bright side, she does get a promise of making a noble gesture at the end of all things.

Neither expect to be coming back.  Certainly a long night there.

If you’re a jester, in the Centauri royal court, I expect you have a lot of long nights.  Humor is so fleeting, after all, and it doesn’t sound like job security is high on the emperor’s list of priorities.

Emperor Cartagia has a bad night, as well.  The permanent kind, actually.  Bad for him.  Good for the rest of Centauri.

Vir also has a pretty bad night.  Then again, committing your first cold blooded murder really doesn’t make for a great evening watching the telly, now does it?

Jim, Raul, and JP, however, are not having a bad night.  Any time where they can get together and talk Babylon 5 is a good day in their book.  And of course, if they are having a good night, so are you, the listener.  Unless you’re listing during the day.  Then you get to have both a good day and a good night.

So sit back, relax, have the beverage of your choice and join us as we discuss The Long Night on the Babylon Project Podcast!

Well, we’re four episodes in and now Sheridan’s back, Garibladi’s back, even Mr. Morden is back.  In fact, everything is back to normal.  Or at least Babylon 5’s version of “normal” which is anything but.  You see, Sheridan is playing host to a Vorlon, the Centuari are playing host to a Shadow fleet, and Mike seems to have a host of problems with Lorien.

On the larger scale, the Vorlons are on a rampage, wiping out entire worlds – not the populations, but the whole planet – that have played host to the Shadows.  News of this is a bit concerning to Londo, but fortunately Emperor Cartagia knows Morden can’t be trusted.  Yeah. right.  I’m sure our listeners have seen enough of him to know there’s more to that.  Londo has a plan afoot to take save his people, but it seems that G’kar is the one paying the price so far.

Speaking of paying a price.  We find out that being brought back from the dead isn’t quite rainbows and roses.  Delenn finds out that price when the command staff address their own Vorlon problem.  John, it seems, has a bit of a shift in plans.  He’s not simply going to take the fight to the Shadows, he’s going to take on both the Shadows and the Vorlons.  At least we finally – after 3-1/2 years – get to see what a Vorlon really looks like.

This is just a taste of what is in store for everyone on this episode of the Babylon Project Podcast.  Jim, JP, and Raul discuss all this and much more in this pivotal episode of the series.

Interesting title:  The Summoning.

Cartagia summons Londo.  (A couple of times, actually.)

Lyta summons the Vorlon.  (Yeah, that probably won’t work out well.  Go figure.)

Sheridan summons the League.  (He’s better now.)

The Vorlons summon their big guns.  (And they’re not afraid to use it.)

Marcus summons unicorns.  (Let’s not go there…)

While the first may be the most obvious, the rest certainly apply as well.  Ok, perhaps not the unicorns, though it might be easier to find one than it seems in finding First Ones.  With all the summoning going on, it seems that great events are afoot.

And speaking of summoning, join Raul, Jim, and JP as they summon more fascinating thoughts and insights into the Babylon 5 universe as they discuss this game changing episode.
