    Babylon Podcast #184: The Fall of Centauri Prime (Season 5)

    Tim and Summer discuss "The Fall of Centauri Prime". Londo's journey into his solitary reign, presiding over a beaten and broken populace, is now complete. And did Delenn do the right thing in trying to ignore Lennier's "dying" declaration -- did her actions help, or make Lennier feel worse? Source

    Babylon Podcast #183: Movements of Fire and Shadow (Season 5)

    Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer discuss "Movements of Fire and Shadow". Tim believes the episode doesn't quite pull together in as good a cohesive satisfying whole as it could have been, saving graces of the ability of various bipedal races to fart on command notwithstanding. Source

    Babylon Podcast #182: And All My Dreams, Torn Asunder (Season 5)

    Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer discuss "And All My Dreams, Torn Asunder", including production questions that Jeffrey can lend insight to. I bet you didn't know that it took a technician to create that perfect "bed head" look, didja? Source

    Babylon Podcast #181: Darkness Ascending (Season 5)

    Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Jeffrey discuss many of the consquences and the subtexts in "Darkness Ascending". We argue for quite a bit about the nature of Garibaldi's dream, how much was dream and how much was or wasn't influenced by Lyta's telepathic curiosity (and whether or not that itself was real or dream), and talk a bit more about Lennier and his mission, and of the telepath DNA deal between Lyta and G'Kar.

    Babylon Podcast #180: Feedbackapalooza

    Feedbackapalooza: It's mondo feedback time again, with voicemails and emails a-plenty... complete with sake bombs and cartoon pajama pants. But seriously, if anyone does know if any Book of G'Quan or Book of G'Kar prop replicas were made for the true die-hard collectors out there, or if anyone who has the original copies would be willing to take pictures for us, definitely let us know!

    Babylon Podcast #177: Meditations on the Abyss (Season 5)

    Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Jeffrey contemplate "Meditations on the Abyss". Examinations range from speculations on why G'Kar may have initially wanted his book to only be published after his death and the possible nature of the responsibility for the spirituality and spiritual explorations of his potential students/followers; to the nature of rationalization when deciding between doing the "right" thing and the "true" thing in the cases of both Findell and Lennier; and even a little bit on unrequited love.

    Babylon Podcast #176: Feedbackapalooza

    Feedbackapalooza: Tim, Summer and Jeffrey respond to lots of voicemail! We really are going to have to have a special follow-up Geeking on "Day of the Dead", aren't we? I never knew this episode was so polarizing amongst the fans, apparently moreso than Purple-Green! Source

    Deep Geeking: This week, we discuss "The Corps is Mother, The Corps is Father", and the special place that the Psi Corps holds in Edmund's heart.

    Babylon Podcast #171: Phoenix Rising (Season 5)

    Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer discuss "Phoenix Rising", and the beginning of the fallout from Byron's death and the resulting uprising of rogue telepaths against the Psi Corps. The emotional impact of Byron's death on the free telepaths, and the emotional impact of the manner of the rogues' death on Bester are apparent, so Summer likes the payoff much better than some elements of the story leading up to the conclusion.
