I hope I'm not just being obtuse here, but I notice the Rangers' patch on the
one arm of the new uniforms.  Are the former EA personnel now part of the
Rangers -- or are they still separate from the Rangers themselves?   Or is it
just kinda mish-mashed together with Sheridan technically being in command of
both entities, with Delenn as official co-ommander on the Ranger side of things
and Ivanova his second-in-command on the former EA side of things?  What do
they call themselves now anyway -- Rebels?

Thanks again.

      The patch signifies their alliance with the Rangers, yes.

Fm: TROY STARR

JMS -

Dare one ask what's happened to the two reporters that were broadcasting from
the ISN news center when "ISN pulled it's own plug to stop the fake
trasmission?"

Also, I'm guessing that those two reporters were at least recognized by the
viewers as regular anchors.  Would people believe that their (well, his) report
was a fake?

Finally, is ISN the only channel out there?  (Sure seems like it!)

Thanks.

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      ISN is one of the only interstellar networks bounced via the tachyon
relay systems from Earth to the outer colonies and beyond.  There are lots of
other channels back home, but to get this far out you need the support of the
government.

      The other two reporters are, to say the least, in deep guano.

Fm: KEVIN P. KENNEY

Last year. renewal didn't come until with the last day possible, just before
the options to renew everyones' contracts were about to expire.  When is that
date this year?

Any word if you'll be presenting at the San Diego Comic Con this year? (When?)

I'm thinking about picking up a Red Clay Ramblers album.  Any suggestions?

Good luck, and thanks

Sb: #501040-#JMS: 'Drop Dead' Date?
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      I believe the true, honest, drop-dead date is June 10th, which is when we
have to pick up the actors' contracts.  If it's after that, we lose our options
on the actors.

      Re: Red Clay Ramblers...I'd suggest their album "It Ain't Right," from
Flying Fish Records in Chicago.  It's got some of their best stuff in it, from
the title song to "Ezekiel in the Valley of the Dry Bones" (which was on as I
wrote "Ceremonies"), and a wonderfully sick, twisted and funny song called "The
Merchant's Lunch."

                                                                      jms

      There is absolutely nothing I can do about this except be upset by it.

      No, it's not a Minbari name, any more than automobile is a Spanish word,
even though it's used in the Spanish language (albeit the pronunciation varies
just slightly).

                                                                         jms
