Contact me (John Hardin) at <jhardin at wolfenet.com> with comments
and requests. I am willing to do limited retrieval of files from
the B5 archives on CIS and posting of messages to the CIS B5 forum.
I reserve the right to delete story ideas from messages I am asked
to post on the CIS B5 forum.
I am not directly involved with any mailing lists this digest
may appear in. Other people are reposting this digest from rastb5
to the mailing list. If you have questions about the mailing list,
*please* send them to the mailing list owner. Mailing list owners
I am aware of are:
<b5jms-owner at majordomo.cs.columbia.edu> (B5JMS Poster, b5jms)
<judge at america.net> (Dirk A. Loedding, jms-posts)
I am in the process of adding size limits to the digest script.
I am open to suggestions. At the moment I am thinking 10 JMS posts
(up to 20 total messages) or about 500 message lines (giving ~550
total lines including the junk at the top).
I have changed the dates in the digest subject and header to
reflect only JMS' posts, to reduce confusion should he reply to a
post that is older than a previous digest.
Replies to this digest currently go to me.

Subject: Makeup/Prosthetics Q:
Message-ID: <forum.sfmediaone.452765 at compuserve.com>
I have a question. Our community theatre is interested in
learning if the techniques used to make the facial prosthetics for
the non-human characters can be used on a much smaller scale here.
(For example, adding a little bit to a person's jowls to age him
from his actual 40 years to around 70.) Could you refer me to
someone on the B5 staff, or some other source, who could advise me
on materials used for the face molds and the prosthetics, and
tips on how the process is done? (Just recently re-watched "The
Making of Babylon 5", and that's what gave me the idea to check
with your staff for tips.) Thanks in advance for anything you can
tell me.
By the way, really LOVE the show, can't wait for each new
episode. If you decide after you retire from TV after B5 to go in
the restaurant business, we have one here in Panama City, Florida
all ready for you: a closed one named "J. Michael's." (The sign
is still out front too. If I knew a site where I could upload it,
I'd send you a photo of it.)

Alas, I would feel inappropriate in referring you to any of our
staff for consultation, as a) they get such requests frequently, and b)
they're very busy on other stuff. Probably any good makeup technician
in the area could do the same in any event; we're not doing anything
that hasn't been well established in the field.

Nice to know that the head of SFC UK, at least, knows a thing or
two about SF. There are many people at SFC here in the US who are
genuine fans, some with a modicum of power, but there's also a
number of "suits."

Do you think any of the foot dragging over at the Sci-Fi
Channel Magazine is due in part to the fact that the SFC is co-owned by
Paramount?

Great news on the new episodes! B5's the best thing on TV
besides TV Nation, which I suppose isn't with us anymore.
Re:Exogenesis--It's nice to see someone from the 'B' Ark on the
station. Did he take a bath?
Also, is Lou coming back at all? I liked him.
Thanks,
Rick

Wanted to drop a line to say that I enjoyed Exogenesis. I
especially liked the sidebar with Ivonova and Corwin. I might be
wrong, but to me it shows how clumsy Ivonova is with the cloak and
dagger stuff--she's as subtle as a Sherman tank in these
circumstances. Hopefully the actor playing Corwin will remain
after the fireworks about to ensue--I am getting hooked on how
the minor characters are reacting to all that's happening.
Looking forward to seeing you at Necronomicon in Tampa, and while
you're down here, if you like sea food and the best key-lime pie
this side of Key-West, go to Skippers Smokehouse. Thanks to you
and all of the actors and production staff--Keep it up!---Joe

We'll continue to see Corwin (played by Joshua Cox) for the
balance of the season.

Joe,
I have a couple of questions that you might be able to
answer about Psi Corps and Bester.
a. Is the Psi Corps based on Mars, or do they only have
an outpost there?
b. Is Bester a Mars or an Earth native? He seems to be
stationed on Mars at the very least.
Thanks in advance for any answers you can provide.

There's a training facility on Mars, and a somewhat classified
base. Bester was born on Earth.

Hi, I just have to ask ( and I don't think a spoiler is
necessary), but is the voice of the pilot on the shuttle Dyson
actually Sean Connery or is it a celebrity impersonator?

It was a voice in the walla group that basically came out
sounding that way.

Joe,
> Weren't me. It was Marcus. Blame him.
So, you're saying you didn't write that line? That the actor
just ad-libbed it and you left it in? (giggle)
