Before I get to Brad’s final installment I was thinking, how hard could this song stuff be?  Hmmm…….

We wish you a Merry Koshmas;

We wish you a Merry Koshmas;

We wish you a Merry Koshmas and a Happy Third Age.

Good tidings we bring to Kosh and Sheridan;

Good tidings for Koshmas and a Happy Third Age.

Oh, bring us a spooey pudding;

Oh, bring us a spooey pudding;

Oh, bring us a spooey pudding and a cup of brevari

We won’t go until we nuke them;

We won’t go until we nuke them;

We won’t go until we nuke them until they glow

We wish you a Merry Koshmas;

We wish you a Merry Koshmas;

We wish you a Merry Koshmas and a Happy Third Age.

OK, I’ll stick to voicemail……

Happy Holidays Everybody!

I know you’ve been bummed this holiday season, no whitestar under your tree, and the encounter suit was just a little too tight around the waist.  

What can the discriminating Babylon 5 fan do to get more out of the holiday season?

Faith Manages.  The Babylon Podcast has a few gifts to throw your way.  Thanks to our wonderful editor Brad Bowyer, we have a few gifts for when you’ve heard all the frosty, red-nosed, ho ho ho-ing, caroling bells you can take.

Welcome to show #140

Back from Vorlon space, Jeffrey returns for the last show of the year.

Deep Geeking: This week, Brad and Mike join Tim,  Jeffrey and Summer to discuss “The Face of the Enemy”.

Summer comments on the Clark’s propaganda against The Army of Light.  Tim talks about how the tension level is very high due to the compressing of the story arc for season four.  The gang go on to talk about cult of personality and how Clark assumes Sheridan is the center of the organization, even though he has always made it about the goal, not the man.  Jeffrey reminisces on the Harlan Ellison / Walter Koneig scene.

Summer, Tim, Jeffrey, Brad and Mike would like to wish all their listeners a great holiday season, and a Happy New Year

Hello fellow listeners.  

In attempt to help everyone better plan their holidays, I got an updated show schedule from Summer.

Here it goes:

This is from the jms moderated news group, courtesy of Jan (B5 Scripts) who pointed it out to me.  I hope it helps get you through the holiday hiatus.

Title: The official Babylon 5 Music Videos are now online!
Author: John Hudgens
Date: Sun, 7 Dec 2008 21:54:09 -0800 (PST)

As some of you may know, I was hired by Joe Straczynski back in the
day to create Babylon 5 music videos for him to use at science fiction
conventions, and later to promote the show to networks. Eight were
produced over the run of the series, not including the memorial videos
I did later for Rick Biggs and Andreas Katsulas.

For the longest time, the only way to see these was if Joe or I showed
them at a convention, but now, after numerous requests from fans over
the years, Joe has given me permission me to post these online.

Danger Zone 

I Need a Hero

Requiem

Nobody’s Side

Welcome to the Third Age

Keep Yourself Alive

The Phantom B5 Video

Third Age 2K

Richard Biggs memorial

Andreas Katsulas memorial
- This is the extended version that I did for Andreas’ widow after the
original cut was released on the net. It’s never been seen online
until now.

For those of you who’ve never seen these, I hope you enjoy them - and
for those that have (and emailed me many times over the years about
releasing them), I hope they’re as good as you remember. Working with
Joe on these videos was one of the highlights of my career, and I’ll
be forever grateful to him for the doors these have opened for me. I’m
proud to have them on my resume.

Welcome to Show #139!

No Jeffrey again this week, and we are sad. We blame “The Amazing Race”.

Tim addresses some of the fan reaction to the news that JMS would be writing the screenplay for the planned remake of “Forbidden Planet”. It will not be retro, as rumored earlier, and hopefully such an honored icon for scifi fans will not be mistreated in his hands. Even so, a lot of JMS fans and “Forbidden Planet” fans are more than a little grumpy about the prospect of it being remade by anyone.

Deep Geeking: This week, Tim and Summer discuss “The Exercise of Vital Powers”, and Tim continues to exercise his right to vital puns.

Summer’s appreciation of this episode comes from the complete break from what had been the traditional storytelling style in the series, and diving into old school hard-boiled pulp detective thriller territory. From Garibaldi’s opening monologue, through his working for the power player who’s suspiciouly far beyond his usual clientele, to his having to resist the damsel in distress who almost always lures the private eye to his doom… this episode is all pulp, all the time.

And even though Summer’s seen this episode quite a number of times, she still discovered something new in this most recent viewing combined with a tidbit from Volume 10 of the scriptbooks… a new meaning in Garibaldi’s closing monologue.

Discussion: Tim reads an email from Stu about the Revell models due to be released in 2009: a Starfury and a B5 station. Whee! Summer wonders why there was never a model for B4, and Tim breaks bad with the puns again.

We also dream of a Lego B5 environment, complete with zocalo and aliens. If you’re gonna dream, dream big, baby.

Edmund leaves us a voicemail with more news and reviews for Changeling.

Just wanted to let everyone know that there will not be a live feed tonight, nor one next week.

We shall return on December 4th, unless Summer ultimately decides to play hooky and attend a signing at The Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale. Both F. Paul Wilson and David Morrell will be appearing together… sweet.

Or maybe I could get some stuff signed by proxy… I may need to recruit a minion for this assignment…

Welcome to Show #138!

Feedback: This week, Tim and Summer run the gamut of the rest of the voicemail and email feedback left over from last week, all alone in the night.

Summer is really jonesing for access to the Titan Magazines stash of Babylon 5 pics that they used in creating the now-defunct Babylon 5 Magazine. Yeah, those would be nice to have.
