[ Summary: Wants to know about the PTEN issue and asks if TNT might pick-up
B5 production if WB were to ever cancel it. ]
#: 480813 S5/Babylon 5: General

Sb: #480738-B5 escape pod
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
We're still trying to figure all this out ourselves....
jms
[ Summary: Wants to know if we'll see the effect of alcohol on a Minbari. ]
#: 480815 S6/Babylon 5: Upcoming
03-Apr-96 11:40:37
Sb: #480758-Homicidal rages
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
No immediate plans for this, but knowing how my brain works, we'll
probably see this sooner or later.
jms
[ Summary: Loved "Severed Dreams" and especially liked that Corwin decided
to stay and fight. ]
#: 480816 S6/Babylon 5: Upcoming
03-Apr-96 11:40:38
Sb: #480803-#<Severed Dreams, WOW>
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Thanks. We have to keep shooting ever higher or we're dead.
jms
[ Summary: Asks if the Breaching Pod scene was the one shown in "Babylon
Squared." ]
#: 480817 S6/Babylon 5: Upcoming
03-Apr-96 11:40:39
Sb: #480804-<SD:Garibaldi>
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
No, it's a different scene than the flash-forward in Babylon Squared.
jms
[ Summary: Wants to know if the killing-off of Hague was always planned. ]
#: 480910 S6/Babylon 5: Upcoming
03-Apr-96 15:20:27
Sb: #480830-General Hague <Spoiler>
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
We'd booked the actor long, long in advance. At the last minute, he
bailed to do a DS9 episode playing, essentially, the same character, despite
our having first dibs.
So I killed off the character. Didn't change the story by the smallest
measure. May actually have helped, since it raised the stakes in the story
right from the start.
Rule #1: Never honk off the writer.
jms
[ Summary: Would like to know if JMS has any plans for what he will do
at Marcon. ]
#: 480911 S6/Babylon 5: Upcoming
03-Apr-96 15:20:28
Sb: #480839-'Severed Dreams'
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Nothing special per se planned for Marcon...I generally play it by ear
on these things.
jms
[ Summary: Wants to know if the scene with the 'Furys firing the missiles
on Mars was intentionally cut right at the time of impact, or if it was
damage done by his local TV station. ]
#: 480912 S6/Babylon 5: Upcoming
03-Apr-96 15:20:29
Sb: #480842-<Severed Dreams>
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
No, we cut that shot pretty close, to go out on the bang. Your local
station didn't cut anything there.
jms
[ Summary: Want to know if the Thunderbolt Starfuries are the same as the
ones shown attacking the facility on Mars. Also asks if they are capable
of atmospheric flight. ]
#: 480913 S6/Babylon 5: Upcoming
03-Apr-96 15:20:31
Sb: #480847-<Severed Dreams, WOW>
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Yes, the Thunderbolt furies were seen both on Mars and attacking B5.
A normal Starfury can't function in an atmosphere environment. The new
Thunderbolt models have airfoils/wings that are folded back over the body of
the ship for non-atmospheric maneuvering, and then extend out to full sized
wings when entering an atmosphere. (You'll get to see in detail how this works
back and forth in "Ship of Tears.")
jms
[ Summary: Loves Marcus and thanks JMS for introducing the character. ]
#: 480914 S5/Babylon 5: General
03-Apr-96 15:20:34
Sb: #480871-stuff
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Thanks. Marcus is a great character...he can go back and forth between
deadly serious and quite funny without batting an eye, it's all quite smooth.
He adds a lot to the show.
jms
[ Summary: Asks if the screen saver is supposed to make that noise even
when it is showing the pictures of Delenn, Vir and the others. ]
#: 480915 S5/Babylon 5: General
03-Apr-96 15:20:35
Sb: #480896-#B5 Entertainment CD
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
No, if you're talking about the white screens with the black and white
photos and text, no, it's all Identicard stuff. (Check the pilot, and you'll
see the same display used there for Lyta's entrance.)
