Deep Geeking: Tim and Summer discuss "Patterns of the Soul", an episode that gives us our first glimpse of conspiracies and ulterior motives that may be exploiting opportunities brought about after the introduction of the plague to the human population.

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Bret chat about "Each Night I Dream of Home", an episode that ties into the importance of Excalibur's mission, and shows us just how complex the task of decoding the Drakh plague virus truly is. Tim recalls how he originally disliked this episode, because of what he thought was the "stunt casting" of characters from the original series to hook old fans; and Summer disagrees that it was "stunt casting" solely to garner ratings for TNT.

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Bret chat about "The Well of Forever", and there's several points of disagreement on the content of the episode, and it could quite possibly be from either some lack of perception on our parts, or from looking to hard for a complex answer when it's really much more simple than we think.

Summer believes the B story with Matheson and Mr Jones might have been served better as the A story, just because of the character depth and development potential that simmered underneath. Additionally, Bret observes that Earth Alliance military ships with Greek names are doomed. They are the red-shirt ensigns of the B5 universe, and should be avoided at all costs.

Deep Geeking: Tim, Summer and Bret chat about "Visitors from Down the Street", an episode filled with snark and more than wink and nod towards The X-Files. Time has changed Tim's perception of this episode, and now Bret wishes he'd done his homework and watched it! And where do captains of deep space exploration vessels get their supply of Hawaiian shirts? Inquiring minds want to know...

Continuing the Feedback marathon, Tim, Summer and Bret discuss their alcoholic beverage selections for the evening. And Summer has kettle corn, so between salty, sweet, and hoppy, we're all ready to go. Listener Voicemails: Despite what you hear, this episode is not the Neilapalooza, and no, we still don't know why Bret became fixated on Corwin having a mullet. We really should have talked about the Booze of Babylon 5, shouldn't we have?

Tim and Summer are growing concerned, because we don't have any solid ideas for our 6th season opening yet. Hopefully, Gary and Edmund have been plotting mischieviousness on our behalf. Listener Voicemails: Time to catch up on the voicemails from the end of 2010!! And we are happy to hear the new voices chiming in after all this time! So how much alcohol will it take to get Bret to sing for us? Do we really want to find out?
