@rangerak77 Love this!!!

I’m reading this book (HIGHLY RECOMMEND). Then I saw what was written and thought of @jefftakin

@halcyonorder I don't know that I did. What was it??

@jefftakin did you notice the Mass Effect inspiration visual in The Corps Is Mother, the Corps Is Father?

@TarrbotPrime He's been on the Koenig bandwagon a long time!

Lots of #Babylon5 for the first time coming up, but this time for the @SciFiRemnant podcast! That discussion is coming out on their feed soon. Today, subscribers to our patreon can watch our first rewatch of an episode as we dive back into The Gathering! #ThisIsSciFi

@rangerak77 @BrentAllenLive We're thankful for the company!

@BablonFirst @BrentAllenLive @jefftakin Us first ones are trying to trudge through season 5 along with you….

@The_Real_Veon That is no lie!

@jefftakin The face Jeff makes when he realizes it's another Byron episode.

Sometimes you strike gold when you're editing through a backlog...

I'm going to paraphrase for brevity but I REALLY appreciated @jefftakin saying on @BabylonFirst - Don't waste your breath telling me about your thoughts and prayers...just do it... and show me your actions. we should be praying for each other and sending good vibes ANYWAY! Show someone you care by doing more than praying for them...your actions will speak more loudly than your words. (again, paraphrasing)

Great conversation today from @BabylonFirst @BrentAllenLive @jefftakin about redemption, repentance & pride. Reminded me of the story of Alfred Nobel, who read his own obituary when a newspaper mistook him for his brother who died. Changed his legacy around, changed his “dash”.

@rangerak77 Glad you're finding more appreciation for them! And yes...sometimes... (should probably do something about that...)

@BablonFirst @jefftakin, do you ever sleep? ;-) I think listening to your podcast and watching your reaction videos have made me appreciate season 4 and 5 more.

@halcyonorder @BrentAllenLive We do. At least at this point.

@jefftakin @BrentAllenLive And I think I know the answer, but do you consider behind the scenes information (that JMS shared at the time) to be spoilers?

@BrentAllenLive @jefftakin I think B5 fans often overstate the lack of dropped plot threads, they overlook it becasue so much that is seeded early on does get picked up on. Also I think things such as the Vindrizi were never meant to be long term threads, 1/2

@halcyonorder @BrentAllenLive That's good to know! Some after-series reading.

@jefftakin @BrentAllenLive I never really thought about it before, (it's obviously a bit different when you're not analysing for a podcast) but I do tend to agree with you. If you can get hold of the out of print Psi Corps book trilogy, you get a lot of insight into Bester. They're not spoiler free though.

@halcyonorder @BrentAllenLive Appreciate it! The dropped Bester piece is wildly disappointing. I know there are so many more pieces at play, and more to come, but I would have gone a lot deeper into Bester and his role with B5. But that's just me. I'm sure some people couldn't care less about him.

2/2 @BrentAllenLive @jefftakin just things that passed through the B5 story. I can't really disagree with the lack of pick up of "your war is now my war" though. Looking forward to your thoughts on S5. I'd comment but don't want to colour your preconceptions.

@NeilRathberg @BabylonFirst @BrentAllenLive I’ve seen some of it. Great show with excellent music. Need to get more into it, though

Recently discovered & almost caught up on both @BabylonFirst and their Stargate pod, and I'm loving them! I'm curious, @BrentAllenLive @jefftakin have either of you seen any Steven Universe? It really brilliantly handles topics of leadership, mental health, and communication.

@LessPopMoreFizz @NoldorinAngst @BabylonFirst

@jefftakin @NoldorinAngst @BabylonFirst You’ve seen the Last Starfighter… the movie. But did you know about The Last Starfighter… THE MUSICAL? youtu.be/nKCvEDIE4Vg?si…

@BabylonFirst Great pod on Endgame. I think the reference to "Ramming speed!!" that Brent was trying to recall is from near the end of The Last Starfighter, the same scene where the alien bad guys have the famous exchange, "What do we do??" "We die."

It’s a @SFLApodcast mention in the wild! Check out both @iamjeremyenns and @KevinChemidlin for more. Full episode: pod.link/growtheshow

@Tigersype @BrentAllenLive @BabylonFirst Brilliant!!!

@BrentAllenLive to answer your question, the lady gave him the emergency leadership manual. @BabylonFirst @jefftakin

@new_mercury @BabylonFirst Sweet!! We’re having a lot of fun making it.

@new_mercury @BabylonFirst I’m jealous! Totally want that first time playthrough again. Such a brilliant series!
