Joe,
I have to agree with the person who thought 100 is too small a number! Ouch!
Are you assembling a mailing list from people who write the PO box now? I'm
not internet enabled until I can afford a new hard drive. (Running out of
space, chronically!) Can you add an ordinary email address (not yours, one for
the club) to the snail mail address, so that we could importune your staff
without bothering you!!!

There's a mailing list being put together, yes, but what'll count is
when the actual checks arrive, and we haven't released the figure yet. BTW, we
also plan to offer fan club members a 10% discount on all B5 merchandise
produced by the club.

[ Summary: She wants to know how the EA government is set up, specifically,
does it have a lower house (like the U.S. & U.K.) or is it more like
ancient Rome? She and her husband love the show. ]

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Thanks.
There's not a lower house in the EA, in the sense that each nation/state
has its own various houses, and its own leader, but that leader is also part of
the EA senate. One per nation/state. Each nation/state has its own
constitution, but must not contravene the larger principles of the EA
constitution.

"Street Angels" and was recently nominated for a Hubbie Award for
Best Serial Killer is the same Kim Strauss that has played Markabs,
Narns, and the Green Drazi Leader. ]

>> I haven't yet decided...though I have some ideas...and a few of them
are *real* doozies.
Jumping in late, if you are talking about writing for Space Cases, I would
think that PAD and Bill would have to be nuts to let you do that. Especially
after all the...um...homiages you got on ep #2...
So...got any ideas about how to handle the Great Straczynski War Machine...

Joe,
I'm finding it interesting how many people with a B5 connection are
involved in the two new SF shows (Space Cases and Hypernauts). Is this a trend
you expect to see continue in the future? In some ways you must feel like a
proud papa.<G>

[ Summary: Some speculation here. The poster just got through watching
Babylon Squared and All Alone in the Night again and was struck by the
Gray Council phrase "we stand between the darkness and the light."
The poster thinks that Sheridan & Delenn's off-spring will actually be
Valen himself, and that Valen "ends up going back 1000 years to stop
the shadows." And that the Minbari finally discover what the Vorlons
are actually up to and decide they must form the Gray Council to keep
themselves positioned between the Shadows and Vorlons forever. ]

[ Summary: Tells JMS that he picked up the March/April 1996 issue of
"Sci-Fi & Fantasy MODELS" magazine which contains an ad offering a
Star Fury model. Wonders if this is something new to JMS. ]

Yeah, send me a copy. I think these are the same guys we've already
targeted, but it never hurts to be sure.
We shut them down as soon as we hear about them.

One question: The name Michael York (w/ A Late Delivery from Avalon) sounds
familiar, but I can't place him. Has he been on before? (I haven't seen much
of 2nd season or any of 1st) Thanks!

York's a major film actor who's starred in many films, including one of
my personal favorites, "Cabaret." Also in the "Logan's Run" movie.

[ Summary: Wonders in which issue of Playgirl the Richard Biggs article is
located. Also makes the mistake of asking JMS two questions, the second
about the Na'ka'leen Feeders. ]

The Playgirl with Biggs is out now here in the states; I don't know the
issue date offhand, but it came out a couple/three weeks ago. It's only a
one-page or so item.

That's true, but only until the moderated groups is up and running,
which I hope is soon, then all internet folks will continue to have free
access.

Sb: #FoN
Fm: ELIZABETH
When I saw Fall of Night for the first time, I was a newbie B5'r who wasn't
sure if she was going to stick around. FoN was what made me want to stick
around. The three previous were good, but FoN really caught my attention.
Seeing it again last night <argh, Sunday> really brought to my attention how
different I look at it now from then. Now I see how it fits into the plot,
root for certain characters, hope something happens to others <g>, and I
absolutely loved it when Kosh came out. Fantastique. Back then, I was just
thinking, "Hey, this would be a cool show to watch sometimes." <g>
Thanks.
Liz
Looking forward to seeing Season 2 eps I haven't seen.

Thanks. Yes, the show (and individual episodes) takes on a different
sense the more you watch it, and can look back. It's fun....
