The Babylon Podcast

Dylan Neal joins us to talk about portraying Ranger David Martell on LEGEND OF THE RANGERS, working on CAPTAIN POWER, and with Bruce Boxleitner on THE GOURMET DETECTIVE series.

Macaulay Bruton joins us to talk about not only his work as "Jack" on the show, but also his work as an acting teacher and coach, and how that led to him working with Michael O'Hare and to getting his role in Season 1. Source

Writer Christy Marx talks about writing the Sierra Games Babylon 5 space simulation game that, unfortunately, was never finished and released as a game. Source

Tim, Summer and Jeffrey gather together to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our starting this podcast, a labor of love decidated to one particular TV series, BABYLON 5. Source

Since "The Gathering" is on all our minds again, it's only fair to talk with the musician who gave us the first sounds of Babylon 5 : rock and roll legend Stewart Copeland. Source

It was something of a milestone when Babylon 5 returned to Amazon Prime in December, because the original edit of "The Gathering" was included. Source

Tim and Summer's enjoyment of "The Road Home" extends to the soundtrack, and we talk with the composers Kristopher Carter, Lolita Ritmanis, and Michael McCuistion about creating that sound. Source

Tim and Summer have watched "Babylon 5: The Road Home" to enjoy the story, and watched to make note of the hidden nods to die-hard fans, and the details shared in both the audio commentary track and the featurette. Source

The full trailer for "Babylon 5: The Road Home" has been released and well received by fans. Speculations on the story have run rampant, and now, we're going to add ours! Source

Discussion: JMS called. We answered. The hashtag that surpassed The Queen's Funeral on Twitter for a few hours on Sep 20. Of course we had to talk about it. So we answered the call, and hopped in a conference call to discuss things. Source

Speculation: Time changes us all, in many ways. So given how busy JMS is writing many things other than new stories for the new Babylon 5, it isn't likely he'll want to or be able to do all the writing himself. So naturally, Tim posits the questions about writers and writers rooms, and we run amok from there. Source

Discussion: Tim and Summer just can't help themselves. We indulge in some wildly unfounded speculation on the announcements about the new Babylon 5 series , plus ask a few questions out loud about what we could be watching on The CW someday. Source

Thank you, everyone, for allowing our love of Babylon 5 to help fuel your own love for the show, and we are grateful that our efforts to explore a show we love also provided entertainment and enjoyment for you. Your voices and support over the years have meant a lot to us, and that you still want to hear us keep talking about everything B5, and not just Day of the Dead, warms our hearts. Source

Interview: Tim and Summer chat with author Jane Killick, whose Babylon 5 Season Guides are a vital resource for any fan of the show. Source

Interview: Tim and Summer welcome Tracy Scoggins, whose command of the station in Season 5 and Crusade was a welcome addition to the field of leading lady military roles in science fiction television. Source

Interview: Tim and Summer swoon in the presence of Mira Furlan, whose regal stature on Babylon 5 made an impression to last beyond the end of time. Source

Discussion: Tim and Summer discuss most of the contents of J. Michael Straczynski's memoir, Becoming Superman . Source

Interview: Marie Marshall ("Dodger") stops by to talk about her brief but passionate and impactful appearances on Babylon 5 , about how one short stint turned into such a long-term fan favorite, acting in New York, and so much more. Source

Interview: The Jason Davis stops by to talk his current project, "The Babylon 5 Preservation Project", to preserve the history of BABYLON 5 using archival paperwork and interviews with cast and crew to create a definitive making-of book. Source

Interview: Marshall R. Teague ("Ta'Lon") stops by to talk about the philosophy and wisdom of the warrior-sage Ta'Lon, the talks he had with JMS about expanding that character beyond the unnamed Narn who, along with Sheridan, survived being kidnapped by the Streib (S2E11 "All Alone in the Night"), how the creation of Ta'Lon's sword played a role in that development, the fun of being a cowboy, and s...

Interview: Josh Coxx ("Lt. David Corwin") stops by to talk about his time on C&C, the character growth over all 5 seasons and the movies, and so much more. He even chats about his time as a Frost Giant in Thor . Source

7 years ago, in December 2012, Tim and Summer closed the book on that particular journey, having spent nearly 300 episodes and quite likely well over 500 hours of discussion and more with the many cast, crew, creators and fans on all sorts of topics about and around Babylon 5 . Today, we're back from beyond the rim, for just a little while. Source

It's not goodbye, it's farewell... we'll meet again, and if we don't, we will see each other again in the place where no shadows fall. We've always been here, and so have you all. Jeffrey returns from his explorations along the Rim to join Tim, Summer and Jeremy for the final official episode of The Babylon Podcast. Source

Feedbackapalooza: Gary from Jacksonville, quite likely the most prolific feedback producer the Babylon Podcast has ever had, joins us to go through the messages for the last official feedbackapalooza. He may have to replace Babylon Podcast with Kick-Ass Mystic Ninjas on his voicemail speed dial... Source

Tim relates an article from io9's Charlie Jane Anders article, Please explain Babylon 5 to us! , and the offer is still out to Charlie if she wants to join us some day for a roundtable Q&A, where we'd do our best to answer her questions, and to keep those responses to under 5 minutes each. And then, the Feedbackapalooza! Source
