I heard that Foundation will no longer be doing the special effects for
Babylon 5...  Is this true?  If so, why?  You once said long ago when people
asked why B5's special effects were so good even though they weren't done on
SGI that it was because you had Ron Thornton.  I worship the work he does...
Did you really drop him?



And on a lighter note, I was just lurking around the first season's lurker's
guide, and it's pretty funny to read the unanswered questions and theories
and be able to say "I know the answer to that~."

      Yep, Foundation left to do the work for ST:Voyager.  Babylonian
Productions hired most of the animators that Foundation laid off, and they
have the same tech, so quality will not suffer.

      Someone will have to update LG eventually to point to
spoiler-answers to all the unanswered questions, sadly...
      On the "humor page" there is a mid-season-two "Office Pool" where
people bet on all sorts of stuff..like what will we see when Kosh comes
out of his suit, who will be the big betrayal of the season, etc.  Some
were pretty good, some were way off (NOBODY suspected Talia)

We were unable to make a deal with Foundation this season.  All the new B5
effects for fourth season, including the first two aired, were done
in-house.
