Since "The Gathering" is on all our minds again, it's only fair to talk with the musician who gave us the first sounds of <em>Babylon 5</em>: rock and roll legend Stewart Copeland. <p><a href="https://www.babylonpodcast.com/2025/02/26/babylon-podcast-show-298/" rel="nofollow">Source</a></p>

<strong>Discussion:</strong> JMS called. We answered. The hashtag that surpassed The Queen's Funeral on Twitter for a few hours on Sep 20. Of course we had to talk about it. So we answered the call, and hopped in a conference call to discuss things. <p><a href="https://www.babylonpodcast.com/2022/09/21/babylon-podcast-show-293/" rel="nofollow">Source</a></p>

<strong>Speculation:</strong> Time changes us all, in many ways. So given how busy JMS is writing many things other than new stories for the new Babylon 5, it isn't likely he'll want to or be able to do all the writing himself. So naturally, Tim posits the questions about writers and writers rooms, and we run amok from there. <p><a href="https://www.babylonpodcast.com/2022/06/15/babylon-podcast-show-292/" rel="nofollow">Source</a></p>

<strong>Discussion:</strong> Tim and Summer just can't help themselves. We indulge in some wildly unfounded speculation on the announcements about <a href="https://www.babylonpodcast.com/2021/09/29/a-reimagined-babylon-5-series-is-coming-to-the-cw/">the new Babylon 5 series</a>, plus ask a few questions out loud about what we could be watching on The CW someday. <p><a href="https://www.babylonpodcast.com/2021/10/22/babylon-podcast-show-291/" rel="nofollow">Source</a></p>
