Babylon Squared

The Name of the Pod - A Babylon 5 Podcast

Synopsis: In which the lost Babylon 4 station reappears as mysteriously as it vanished, we get a glimpse of the future, and Delenn gets an exciting new job offer.

One of many lists of “essential” X-Files episodes: http://www.everythingisscary.com/screen/essential-x-files

The commentary from JMS that Babylon 4 was built using scraps leftover from the first 3 stations is at the always excellent Lurker’s Guide: http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/countries/us/guide/020.html

The Enterprise-C. Still the best in the line.

Babylon 4. I definitely like the look of this one better than 5, sad to say.

Barry Allen (CW TV series version) is very likely the stupidest person who has ever travelled through time in any form of media.

John Wesley Shipp - best. Flash. Ever.

Also, Shipp was born in Norfolk, VA. Where did the USS Eldridge allegedly reappear during the Philadelphia Experiment? NORFOLK, VA! And his last name is SHIPP!! Coincidence?? Or should I not be drinking while writing show notes???

At the time of this recording I had not yet seen the film Predestination (based on a Robert Heinlein story “All You Zombies”). It may be the most messed up time travel movie ever.
