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

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

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

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.

@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

@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.

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.

@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."
