So lately I’ve been watching Babylon 5<\/a> after a few years I thought I would revisit this mid 90’s sci-fi show and see if I could glean some ideas about how a larger story evolves. Since the show is created and primarily written by one person J. Michael Straczynski<\/a> it flows pretty well and has a coherence on a reasonably epic scale that I hope is something that Lucas will do when his Star Wars television show starts here soon.<\/p>\n

Anywho, the actor that played the chief of Security Michael Garibaldi and one of the few actors that was with the show for all 5 seasons Jerry Doyle <\/a>always struck me as having a certain kind of authenticity in the way he portrayed the cynical security chief. Other than on Babylon 5, I could not remember seeing him on the tube or in pictures and occasionaly would wonder whatever became of him?<\/p>\n

So yesterday I’m flipping through the television box as I am want to do while consuming my high fiber cerel. What do I see but a radio show on television. That’s right good old C-Span was doing some program where they show the behind the scenes of talk radio. On this particular episode who do I see in jeans and a grey t-shirt with headphones on talking into a mic but Jerry Doyle. Apparently, Mr. Garibaldi has been putting that cynicism and disgust for corruption and lies to good use, doing the talk radio thing as a self described “independent” for quite some time. I watched Doyle talk to a few guests and set up his jokes and bumps and it was weird and cool . . . I guess now I know the answer to that question, for what it’s worth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
