The full trailer for "Babylon 5: The Road Home" has been released and well received by fans. Speculations on the story have run rampant, and now, we're going to add ours!

Discussion: 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.

Speculation: 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.

Discussion: Tim and Summer just can't help themselves. We indulge in some wildly unfounded speculation on the announcements about the new Babylon 5 series, plus ask a few questions out loud about what we could be watching on The CW someday.

7 years ago, in December 2012, Tim and Summer closed the book on that particular journey, having spent nearly 300 episodes and quite likely well over 500 hours of discussion and more with the many cast, crew, creators and fans on all sorts of topics about and around Babylon 5. Today, we're back from beyond the rim, for just a little while.

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
