LOL, well Darmok I don't know how much of an audience I'd have (crickets).

Oh, come on. I'd listen to it. Talking about B5 would be a great way to add some variety. Besides, the Trek folk will appreciate that it's written by D.C. Fontana. You should consider sharing on the podcast.

Hmmm - then this may interest you:

Did you know your Avatar name Darmok has a B5 connection too?
The Tamarian Captain, Dathon who speaks the phrase "Temba, his arms wide" (a gift) was played by the actor Paul Winfeild.
He also played General Richard Franklin in the B5 season-two episode GROPOS.

OK, that maybe a 2 degrees of separation connection, but a good stand alone episode to watch.

I had no interest in the series till Rico did a full podcast reviewing Babylon 5.
I saw a few episodes then had to buy the box set. Then the movies...  Then the comics... Then the spin-off...  Then the script guides... But no action figures (yet).

Davekill,

It's been a good long while since I've seen B5. Watched it pretty much faithfully when it first came out. Found it difficult to watch reruns. I vaguely remember Paul Winfield being on it.

Now that I have Netflix again, I'll have to watch episodes in order to get back the intended flow of that series. Thanks for mentioning.
