Fm: JIMMY

JMS,  since if this is the last season of B5, you will write season 4 as the
last,  how many episodes will you put off on writing until you find out if the
show will be renewed?  Where in season 4 is the turning point that could turn
it either way in your writing plan?  Usually, we didn't find out until May
whether B5 would be renewed, will this be the case again?

      We'll probably know around February.

 [ Summary: Noticed that there was a G'Kar statue advertised for sale in the
   latest "Previews."  Wonders how large it is and if it looks like G'Kar. ]

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      The statue is the pilot movie version of G'Kar.  I think it's about 7"
tall.

 >There was no clear division...they both tried to influence everyone they came
upon, to get them to go one way or the other.<

So the balance of power we keep hearing about is a balance of forces not of
"client" races.

 [ Summary: Concerning JMS' internal debate about whether to tell everyone 
   the complete story of Kosh, this poster adds: "And I hope a third part of 
   you says that if you don't explain some more, you're going to MAKE ME 
   CRAZY!" ]

      Which is, of course, another good reason not to do it.

>>  I will, on *rare* occasions, address a note or correction directly to an
actor while we're shooting <<

Joe,
   On the flip side of the coin, do the actors ever come to you for
clarification or advice on how a scene is to be played?

      That, yes...very often, while the actor is prepping, they'll come by my
office, or at lunch ask about a particular passage, for clarification on my
part, as opposed to an adjustment on their performance.

                                                                    jms
