Trek West 5 - A Television Podcast: Recent Episodes
Peter Nash, Joey Smith
A conglomerate television podcast of Science Fiction, Politics, Humor, and pretty much whatever else we want to talk about.
Well, the long drought is finally over. TrekWest5 has returned, and Peter and I are discussing "The Good Place!"
However, due to COVID-19, the podcast takes place over Zoom rather than in person - so no fancy microphones, audio quality is sub-par, and we didn't really do any edits - but we hope you guys all enjoy the return regardless!
I'm not going to try and capture the rating we gave for the episodes in TrekWest5 (Coronavirus Edition) #1: Welcome, everything is fine!
This podcast covers episodes 1-4 of The Good Place, Season 1.
Various topics discussed in this podcast include:
What has happened to Peter and Joey since the last podcast
Joey's Culture Corner: Defending Your Life
How has the pandemic affected Joey and Peter?
The Netflix Voltron - Possible content for a future podcast
Joey's adventures trying to introduce The Good Place to his wife and children
Why Peter's wife isn't watching The Good Place with us

I assume the shirt says "Minas Tirith: Take your next vacation here?"
Actually, it says "Not all those who wander are lost."
Yes. It's that time again. We cover Groundhog Day for our podcast movie special this week. What a great film by Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, and Chris Elliot. Not only is this a hilarious film but it has a really great message at the end. Hopefully we can all become the type of people that are wiling to ask others around us: "Is there anything I can do for you today?". If we can then not only us, but the world around us will be a better place. Duration: 1h 59m 28s

Wow, okay, we really have fallen out of the habit of this podcast thing. Sorry everyone. But the good news is that we have finally published our movie podcast on Stargate the movie. Joey and I each brought a different spin to things, as usual. But if was fun to be back in the chairs recording, even if it did takes months for our schedules to properly align. Anyway, enjoy!

This week we finally put an end to Joey's misery about the story of BSG. And yes, it is better than Lost. I think every tv finale is going to be compared to Lost for quite a while, because of how terrible it was. BSG had a comparatively very good finale where they wrap up most of the big questions. But more, as a retelling of an already beloved tv show, it carved out its own place within SciFi history. This tv podcast covers the finale of Battlestar Galactica Season 4.

A reckoning was predicted, and what a reckoning that Gaeta and Zarek get for their actions. Farewell dear Gaeta. It was really sad to see your decline.

A return to the podcast after our holiday break. We had to change plans of recording venue since Joey forgot to bring up the normal recording laptop and so we made a trip back to the office.

Oh what a good time we had recording this week! Joey had no idea what was coming. We had our friend Curtis and My Friend Jon Madsen join us to watch the episodes right before we recorded each part of the podcast. The reactions that we got to enjoy were priceless. We really should have recorded this for all of you to see. This tv podcast covers episodes 19 and 20 of Battlestar Galactica Season 3.

Pretty low key podcast this week. Probably the weirdest thing is that I admitted to liking Maelstrom, which is a Starbuck episode. Makes sense that I would like the episode that she dies in. Also, I coined the term: Paper Licker. This tv podcast covers episodes 17 and 18 of Battlestar Galactica Season 3.

We came back strong from our latest break. I think we have had more fun in the first hour of recording than we have had in a while. Joining us was the Intern Aaron, who probably deserves some credit for that. But it's unlikely we will give it to him. Oh and Joey has amended his final 5 list to include Zerrick and remove Duala. His current list includes: Tyrol, Cally, Tigh, Gaeta, & Zarek. Won't he be surprised when Adama ends up being one of the 5? This tv podcast covers episodes 13 and 14 of Battlestar Galactica Season 3.

This weeks episodes were pretty lackluster in my opinion. There were only really a couple things that happened to push the real story along. I am frankly surprised at why they would bother with doing filler episodes. Just make awesome stuff, and if that means your season is shorter, then so be it.

We didn't record this week because Joey was at a writing symposium; however, he was able to interview a few folks, and he stitched those together into this podcast-long installment of "Joey's Culture Corner". Joey wrote this opening paragraph, and I have no idea why he decided to use third-person.
The interviewed guests for this podcast are:
Deren Hansen, author of the Dunlith Hill Writer's Guides (http://dunlithhill.com/)
Larry Correia, New York Times bestselling author of the Monster Hunter International series, the Grimnoir Chronicles, and the thriller Dead Six (http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/)
Robert J. Defendi, author of many modules for RPG systems across the board, including the Critical Matters and the Echoes of Heaven modules (http://playtesting.net/)
Dan Willis, author of young adult and other fantasy novels in the Dragonlance series created by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. (http://dansrealm.com/Home/Home.html)
James A. Owen, known for his creator-owned comic book series Starchild and as the author of The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica novel series, that began with Here, There Be Dragons (http://www.heretherebedragons.net/)

Despite what Joey says there is no Adventure in Republican in this weeks podcast. He lied to us all. Good wrap up of the first season though. Joey was floored by the events of the final minute of the last episode. But he is actually enjoying the series now so it has all been worth it. This tv podcast covers episode 13 of Battlestar Galactica Season 1.

To say that Joey was surprised about the Cylon reveal at the end of part 2 of the Battlestar Galactica miniseries is an understatement. And it was a lot of fun for me to get his reaction. Best line of this weeks episode had to be "We've got to start having babies. Is that an order?". Where will the humans go? Will they survive? What other Cylons are out there? This tv podcast covers the second half of the initial tv miniseries for Battlestar Galactica.

After all the coercion we have finally begun the Battlestar Galactica reboot. Joey has not been completely won over on this first run through but he find some parts that he did like.

We spent a long time in intro stuff this week. JCC this week was all about libraries and what is acceptable material. On a more heroic note, I have a broken rib and I still managed to sit through an almost 3 hour podcast of Joey and Jon trying to make me laugh. But we still had some good conversations of Firefy. We cover The Train Job and Bushwhacked of Firefly.

Well I don't know about the rest of you but I have not been this excited since we started watching TNG. Finally Firefly is here! For the Firefly podcast we will only be covering 2 episodes of television per podcast, rather than our normal 4. It will be watched in intended order. Our hope is that we can cover a s much material as we want, as well as maybe coax some more people to join us. And it's already working because My Friend Jon Madsen has come back to join us! So spread the word throughout the verse: TrekWest5 is covering Firefly. We cover the pilot episode, Serenity, of Firefly.

It was quite refreshing to see Alison Janey and Timothy Bussfield back together again. Those two have great screen chemistry together. Someone should put a list together of all the West Wing people that crossed over to S60 in its one season. I imagine it would have been higher if it had done more seasons, but I feel like we got a good number. We cover episodes 17-20 of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

We start in on the all too short Sorkin tv offering: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. I know I am excited about this because Aaron Sorkin has a great way of bringing up interesting topics and writing them in a way that is both interesting and insightful. And if you look at the topic list below I think that bears out. It is a shame that this only was allowed to go one season. We cover episodes 1-4 of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

This was a new stab at podcasting for us. Instead of being about a television show we decided to review books this week. I think it turned out well. So well in fact that we went on for almost 3 hours. So we have cut this podcast up in to 2 parts. The second will be posted some time in the future when Joey and I need a break. Our dear friend Curtis (the Mad Giggler) also joined us. We have been trying unsuccessfully for the last 3 years to get him and we were not disappointed by his participation. Duration: 1h 15m 06s

Well, we did it folks. We set out with a mission to approach Star Trek (TNG), The West Wing, and Babylon 5 from an analytical approach. While we prepare to - as Pete likes to say - "cleanse our palates" with a Poetry podcast, please enjoy our wrap up of Babylon 5 as a series, as well as a brief discussion about the three "original shows" of TrekWest5. At the end of the series wrap up, you'll find a discussion Pete and I had back at podcast 108 (Season 2 wrap up). The conversation was great, but it ranged so far afield from the topic of Season 2 wrap up that we decided to hold it in reserve until this podcast.

Everybody, make yourself comfortable as Joey reads JMS version of events behind Claudia Christian leaving Babylon 5. You can listen to Claudia's version at this link (be careful as it contains a lot of foul language). I think Joey and I both take the side of JMS. Oh and this music intro was provided by Listener Brainy Smurf, entitled "This is Wrong Tool". We cover episodes 1-4 of Babylon 5, Season 5.

Grey 17 is Missing and Walkabout should never have happened. The sides stories were actually good but the badness just seems to overshadow them. Oh and Joey almost reveals too much about various plot points. Just try to tune him out. I know I do. The nice thing is that Zathras steals the show as he helps to steal Babylon 4. We cover episodes 17-20 of Babylon 5, Season 3.

What I assume was meant to be a serious question from Listener Brainy Smurf about the nature of power among Godlike people (What would you do if you were Q?) got turned completely on its head by Joey, Aaron, and I. It caused us to go on a laughing jag that we just couldn't control in the slightest. The question was finally answered but not before we had our fun. Oh and I kill a spider. Good podcast! Great Babylon 5 scifi episodes. We cover episodes 13-16 of Babylon 5, Season 3.

It took a discussion of Babylon 5 for us to realize that a plot device the writers of The West Wing completely ignored: Telepathic Rape. What is that too good for you Sorkin? Also, we find another new use for the bell. For some reason the recording cut off right as Joey was going to give the P5 rating for Voices of Authority: 8.2.

We had a reasonable start to season 3. JMS has bitten off a little more than he can chew by becoming the sole writer for this season. But I think it will pay off in the end as we won't have to suffer the DiTillio effect. Also Jurassic and Katsulas give fantastic performances. We cover episodes 1-4 of Babylon 5, Season 3.

At one point during this podcast, while we were discussing energy weapons, Pete became so excited he began to shout and pound the table - it was so loud, the microphone literally could not handle the input at one point and it completely shut off. You'll know the moment when you hear it...it's really too bad, the conversation had me laughing so hard I thought I would pass out. You'll never know what you missed! Brought to you from the "TW5 Studio", we cover episodes 1-4 of Babylon 5, Season 2.

And so it begins. Our first season of Babylon 5 is officially over and the real story can finally begin, now that we have been through all the crap stuff that a season one series brings. I think we did a good job to go over all the usual lists for our season wrap up with a couple new additions. We also cover episodes 21-22 of Babylon 5, Season 1.

The honking of the foreshadowing horn should be going off through the entire podcast so Joey and I decided to not use it. We had some surprises this week with a new listener and a sandwich in a can: Candwich. I know they sound weird but both were a pleasant surprise. We cover episodes 17-20 of Babylon 5, Season 1.
