New BTV?
Ever since the Oddcast posted a list of the upcoming OAC eps (yes, I succumbed and joined) I have been intrigued the one with a BTV title. Usually, I do not enjoy speculation, but it would be interesting to hear people's theories. A new "B"? Barrett? Brian? a new character? A previously unreleased ep? Let the brain storming begin!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that it's already been confirmed that another main character will host the show, such as Connie or Whit. I do hope that they at least address Bernard's absence in the episode though.

I do not follow the usual fan sites so I am usually out of the loop. hm...........then they should change the name of the show. Unless the "B" stood for something other than Bernard.

No, the B does indeed stand for Bernard, as stated in the first BTV episode "I Want My BTV".jennifertwt wrote:I do not follow the usual fan sites so I am usually out of the loop. hm...........then they should change the name of the show. Unless the "B" stood for something other than Bernard.

I have to listen to I Want my BTV again but in another forum they said the B stood for Bible. I think so many people associate it with "B"ernard that it would not have hurt to remind people of that and would have taken 1-2 seconds.

It really does stand for Bernard, not Bible. And sadly, they don't explain his absence at all. It annoyed me a lot, but oh well! The episode itself was good, but a 5 second explanation would have been nice.
A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man would have to seek Him to find her.

Phil Lollar said the B in "B-TV" was supposed to have a dual meaning for both 'Bible' and 'Bernard'
also.. I love Bernard just as much as the next person, but I personally don't see what the big deal is. *shrugs*

Mostly just sentimental and not filling in the "holes" . Also increasing irritation that they will take on such heavy issues as The Ties That bind yet the death of a character /actor goes unmarked. felt the same way about Tom Riley.

We all go through wanting disappeared characters to be acknowledged. But what do we want? A brief explanation of why Bernard can't do BTV anymore? That would be just insulting. It would be like giving a vet a thank-you lollipop. An entire episode at least would be needed for a proper goodbye to Bernard. And listeners who joined post-hiatus won't even know who Bernard is.
It's not canonically inconsistent not to mention him, at least. The show was usually introduced not only by Bernard but with other characters too (and sometimes entirely without Bernard?)
Anyhoo, good episode. It was amazing, it's like they hadn't done an album without BTV. It didn't feel like they were trying to recreate their own work years later. It felt like they turned on the lights in the BTV studio and whipped out a true blue BTV episode. It's a perfect instace of a character's contributions leaving their mark, but the show moves on gracefully.
