A dream given form….just not a good one…..
The two main hosts are excellent and really know their B5 stuff. The problem is with the newbies. Having the perspective of newbies isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but the execution is poor. Having to listen to so many people(least 5 by my count), most of whom don’t like sci fi, takes aware from the excellent commentary of the main hosts. The newbies can’t appreciate the fine craft of a great sci fi show and they ultimately make this podcast a very tough one for a B5 fan to enjoy. Maybe having just a couple of newbies to bring a fresh perspective could have made this a good show but there are too many voices who don’t care about the genre. Beyond the two solid main hosts, the only other solid component is the interviews with actors involved with B5. Those have been great so far.
