Administrivia:
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.

Great Maker,
Is there any chance (pretty please!) that the unused scripts
from seasons one and two (such as *The Long Night of Susan
Ivanova*) might be released? Perhaps they could be uploaded to the
library here, or to the B5 web site, or made available through the
fan club. It would help get us through the rerun periods!

There *are* no unused scripts. This is a misnomer. I've had a
few titles, or premises, that haven't gone as far as a script, but no
abandoned scripts. So I can't upload them, since they don't exist.

Y'know, Joe, some people just flame, write complaint
letters or engage in some healthy activity to get it out of their
systems.
You're the only omniscient, omnipresent producer I know
of who sees daily aggravations as target practice...

I've suspected that the Shadow ships are sentient, the same with
the Vorlon ships. Can I take this as confirmation?

Where is the ISN during all this Nightwatch stuff? Why aren't
they investigating the Nightwatch? Is the press being supressed by
the MiniPax? Will this become a factor in an upcoming episode?
Will Universe Today become a propaganda arm of Earth Dome?

Not fair, not fair, not fair. That's the one night of the week I
-can't- watch it. I'm in London with no access to the TV. Its just
not the same picking it up on video later in the week.
This may well call for a major sulk<pout>. Having said that,
great news that its back soon!

Hi Joe,
This is a lighter side question but one that has me a bit miffed.
We've seen Garibaldi, beat up, shot in the back, stabbed, and
generally run ragged. When are we going to see him finally kick
the living crap out of someone? These are the kind of things I
think about when driving to work.

episode, "Messages From Earth," is probably the best thing we've done
on the series to this point.

Subject: Exogenesis
Message-ID: <forum.sfmediaone.453774 at compuserve.com>
I'm one of those know-it-all types who delight in playing
Name-That-Plot. Last night I was watching Exogenesis. Of course, I
immediately knew the plot ... just another
evil-aliens-take-over-everyone-in-sight show. Yawn. Then it turns
out that the aliens were essentially benevolent, even winning
cooperation from our heros. You did it to me again. (One would
think after 2+ seasons I'd know better than to attempt to
double-guess you, but old habits die hard.) B5 is the *only*
commercial TV show I watch. Well, B5 and Cybill. Say, wouldn't it
be a hoot to watch Cybill and Maryann cut a swath through the
station! Let's see, Cybill is helping Maryann push Dr. Dick into a
time machine and they trip. Wait--I might be treading on storyline
territory here. Oh jeez, look at the time. Gotta go. PS: You're
doing a great job. Thanks for the entertainment.

been done one way, and turn them on their heads to see what new
possibilites tumble out. It's fun....

Well, you've done it again. Led us down one path and then pulled
the rug out from under us. I won't tell you the awful thoughts I
was thinking when I first saw that critter sink into the first
guy's back. But once again I had tears in my eyes by the end of
the episode.
And I am glad to see that the relationship between Marcus and
Ivanova is moving along quite nicely. <g>
