Several companies are circling around the rights to the B5 comic, and
are currently in negotiations. And after some initial problems with the
contract between WB and Sendai, they hope to begin putting out more issues of
the B5 magazine, yes.

No word yet on tapes, and no, none of the cloaking suits are still in
anyone's hands on B5.

Fm: BILL HIRST
Pat Tallman is back? Outstanding. She's a beautiful and talented actress.
Joe, do you have to make many adjustments to the story line to work her in? I
mean in a writtten epic like Tolkien or Robert Jordan, the author is totally in
control of the characters. In your case, the actors come and go and the story
line somehow has to accomodate that.

Hi Joe,
Quick question.... Id like to cancel my compuserve account in favor of a local
internet provider. Trouble is I don't want to lose the connection with this
great forum and with you. Are you also available on the B5 newsgroup for
questions, etc??

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Red Five is not from Star Wars...it's standard Air Force designation on
various teams, Red One, Blue Three, others in some cases, Alpha One, Bravo Two
in others. People in and out of the military have been color coding fighters
and the like long, long before there was a Star Wars. There's a danger in
assuming that the first place you heard it was the place that invented it.
There are some ST fans who *insist* that ST invented the term tachyon, since
that's where they heard it first, and even have given me and other shows a hard
time when we use this actual scientific notion.
