Interview: Tim and Summer enjoy a chat with renowned character actor Tucker Smallwood, who played Mr David Endawi in the S3 episode "Matters of Honor", and Commodore Glen Van Ross in Space: Above and Beyond. Tucker talks about war as used in science fiction and his being a fan of science fiction literature growing up, and how his experience as an infantry commander in Vietnam informed his work and contributions to Space: Above and Beyond. He also talks about studying acting after being gravely...
We celebrate the new Babylon Park website, as well as the expanded materials available there, and you can follow them on Twitter, @babylonpark. Shiny. Bret also strongly recommends following @patriciatallman, merely for the hilarious entertainment value, and Tim reads us a status update on various JMS writing projects. And then, the Listener Feedback (from 7/14/2011)
Deep Geeking: Tim, Bret and Summer discuss "War Zone", with Summer and Bret demonstrating amazing feats of recall considering that they watched the wrong damned episode in preparation for this week's discussion. We talk about how the revised viewing order affects not only the timing of this episode, but also succeeded in confusing your hosts. How does an origin story work for an audience when they're watching it 10 weeks into the story? Tim has problems with long range video conversations not ...
For those who hadn't seen Jeffrey's heartfelt remembrance of Jeff Conaway, here's the full video from Show 243. I don't think there are many others who could have said it any better.
Listener Feedback: Strangely, as much as Tim hated "Day of the Dead", he adored Neil Gaiman's Doctor Who episode, "The Doctor's Wife"... to be expected? (from 7/2/2011)
Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer get Marjean's thoughts on "Rules of the Game", particularly the development of the relationship between Dr Chambers and Max Eilerson, discovering what and who Max cares about, and of course, Dr Chambers' impeccable fashion sense and combat timing. And yes, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Once her new project, Three Moon Rising, is ready, we'll be talking with her again about it over at Slice of SciFi! (from 6/25/2011)
Interview: Tim, Summer and Bret chat with Peter David and Kathleen David, with Peter telling us about how he got into writing episodes for the show, how he needed to divert from "writing for Star Trek" in order to get the Babylon 5 feel correct in the episodes and the novels, finding character voices, and more. Kathleen talks a little about logistics behind getting the Del Rey B5 novels published, from author selection to publishing schedule and more. And there's stuff people STILL can't talk ...
Interview: Tim, Summer and Bret chat with Pat Tallman, mostly about the Lyta Alexander Favorites Poll, how the poll came about, and maybe even a hint about an upcoming book from our friends at B5Books.com. Pat recalls the fun of the rehearsals with Richard Biggs, of working with Andreas Katsulas and with Robin Atkin Downes, and about learning how real human eyes are connected differently than zombie movie eyes. Pat also expands on her geek girl fan moments on Castle, and teases her appearance ...
Interview: Summer and Gary chat with Carrie Dobro (Dureena Nafeel)! Carrie talks about how much fun she'd had on the show, the challenges of her costume and her contact lenses, about the possible character development paths that Dureena might have gone on with both Galen and Gideon, and much much more. Catch Carrie's voice work on the Blake's 7 audio series! (from 6/2/2011)
