Once upon a time there was a joking post made by J. Michael Straczynski.
People on rastb5.mod were not overly fond of this joking post.  They 
said, "Bad great maker, how rude to jestingly offer such a Gem Of Rare 
Price.  You oughta be ashamed."
 
Hearing these grumbles, J. Michael Straczynski paused.  Not so very long 
after, Mr. Straczynski queried:
 
Since I had asked, JMS wondered if I would, indeed, truly like to view the 
Final Five episodes--the "first civilian" to be granted this boon. 
After much screaming, thumping and excited noises, I relayed words 
robustly in the affirmative.
 
And so, ahem, this Friday, graced with the presence of the great maker 
himself much of the time, I s-s-saw the final five episodes of the third 
season of Babylon 5.
 
Regrettably, I will have to chop off the lips of the first person to ask 
me to provide spoilers, for I can tell you utterly nothing except this: take 
tranquilizers before viewing.
 
Oh you're going to love them.

Wendy I'm thrilled for you. I'm sitting here spluttering and
hyperventilating in envy. I won't ask you for spoilers. BUT, do you
know where his office is? I mean, you were the first civilian, but
doesn't that imply there may be others??  :)

No other civilian viewings at the office are planned; this was a one-off. 
It was brought to my attention that in my original response to Wendy,
which was made lightly and in jest, I'd committed a UM, an Unintended
Meanness, and it was important to me to fix that.  This was done.
