>>At least there was more than a few words of mention about B5 for a change!<<
Yep. A brief blip on the radar screen of mainstream culture.
And the B5-stealth bomber continues on its mission...<g>

Bear in mind that there have been lots of folks named Sinclair in the
last 900 years; that we don't know how much Valen told anyone about his prior
life; that the Minbari had had little to no direct contact with the Vorlons in
well over a hundred years and likely would not have told them what they found
at the Battle of the Line until such time as personal contact had been made
again, which only happened at Kosh's arrival...and there wasn't exactly time to
make a report after he rolled into B5 for the first time.

>> To your questions...there's always been a side-story that could go off
after the 5 years in the B5 universe, but it wouldn't be B5. No reference
books planned for now, or anything filmic currently on the boards. <<
Are there serious, concrete plans for this "side story"? Or is it in the
"drawing board" stage only.

All I can say for now is that WB has asked us to make a presentation to
them on a possible sequel; this has been done. They've now asked us to go to
the next step of making a demo reel. In addition, there's some very exciting
stuff going on with TNT that I can't talk about yet, but hope to be able to do
so soon.

Fm: RICHARD M. PERRY
Hey Joe, I was looking through the weekend supplement to the Palm Beach
Post and saw an ad for a play, Snow White, written by you. I was wondering what
you could tell me about the play itself as it might mean seeing if my sister
and her children would like to go. (since they'll be in town visiting next
week) Something tells me that the writer can't be all that bad, but one can
never tell about these things. <BG>
May the Light shine forever,
Rich

....oh, shrock....
No, don't go. It's terrible. Everyone dies. Your kid will end up
traumatized. The surgeon general issued a report advising against it. Whole
communities have outlawed it. I...I....
I was a much younger fellow when I wrote that. I was, I think, about 18
or 19; I'd written a number of produced one-act plays at 16 and 17, but this
was my first commissioned play, and one of my first long-term produced
full-length plays, running summer stock in the San Diego area for 16 weeks. You
can't hold what I wrote at 18 against me now.
I don't remember anything about it. I've flensed it from memory. I
can't...I....awk....
