Today we've got Chris from Modern Conservative (dot) Com with us to talk about the absolute best Science Fiction series of the 1990s, Babylon 5, among other things. Chris, thank you for being with us today!

CHRIS: Thanks so much for having me. Gosh, I've never been interviewed by a robot before. What a wonderful time to be alive!

REPUBLIBOT 3.0:

Now, Chris: rather than the normal geekish blather we throw around here, you actually have a personal connection to the show, right? You were actually *In* a couple episodes?

CHRIS:

REPUBLIBOT 3.0:
Good morning, everyone. Today on Republibot, we've got Rick Kelvington, master of mashups and fanedits and parodies supreme. We recently featured him on Fan Film Friday (Here: http://www.republibot.com/content/fan-film-friday-trek-through-time-dan-... ) and he's been kind enough - or at least undiscerning enough - to hang out with us today.

Rick, thank you for taking time out to speak with us!

RICK KELVINGTON:
You are certainly welcome, I enjoy your site, and this is a great fun to interact with you.

R3:

Today we've got David Zondy with us. He's the creator, host, and all-around Grand Exalted Poobah of the excellent "Tales of Future Past" website, which some of our more attentive readers will recall I was inadvertantly ripping off some months ago. David, thank you very much for being with us.

DAVID:
Glad to be here–speaking metaphorically, of course.

REPUBLIBOT 3.0:
Again, sorry about unknowingly ripping you off. Thank you for being a good sport about that.

DAVID:
Hey, no problem. "Unknowingly", like trousers, covers a multitude of sins, so no harm done.

REPUBLIBOT 3.0:

Today we're speaking with Joe Straczynski, the creator, producer, and main writer of "Babylon 5," and "Jeremiah." Mister Straszynski has created and/or produced a half-dozen TV series, he's been a radio host, he's a comics writer, he's a novelist, he's written the best damn book on Screenwriting you'll ever read, he's been nominated for a BAFTA, and won two Hugos, a Saturn, a Bradbury, an Eisner, an Inkpot, and he's the only person I've ever spoken with who has an asteroid named after him. Mister Straczynski, thank you very much for being with us today. It's a huge honor.

STRACZYNSKI:

With us today, we've got Scott Cummins, who directed the Starship: Exeter episode, "The Tressaurian Intersection." Now, there's a zillion different Star Trek fan films out there, but I admit I've always had a special fascination for Exeter, and I've always wanted to know more about it. Scott, thank you very much for agreeing to speak with us today! SCOTT CUMMINS: Thanks. I'm very proud of the show and I'm glad people have enjoyed it. REPUBLIBOT 3.0: First off, Scott, can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Who are you, and what's your day job? SCOTT:

A short while back I reviewed the debut CD from “Black Stabbath,” a one man noise-project from Patrick Hughes. (Which you can read here http://www.republibot.com/content/science-fiction-music-review-%E2%80%9C... ) Mr. Hughes is with us today to tell us more about his project, his influences, and stuff like that there. Pat, thanks for agreeing to let us interview you!

GREETINGS - I PINCH MY CHITIN CLAW TO YOUR METAL PROBE - AND EXTEND TYPICAL SALUTATIONS AND PLEASANTRIES TO REPUBLIBOT. (Please read that in a creepy robot voice.) (To yourself.)

Keith:
Hello, and thanks for having me.
