       Thanks.  No real plans for arc stuff outside the show, though there's a
1,000 page novel all outlined and ready to be written as soon as I can get to
it....

       Thanks again.

Fm: TROY STARR

Hi JMS -

An interesting question struck me recently: Why are so many people still on
Babylon 5?  Take, for example, Londo.  After B5 separated from Earth, I would
be inclined to assume that he would be recalled.  He certainly doesn't need to
be around to join the Army of Light, and his influence would probably be better
used back on Centauri Prime.

Dear JMS,
        I have heard that you are appearing on IRC this weekend. I am a minor
room Op in the B5 room on the Undernet and so know that you are appearing but
have heard you are to appear on more than one server. Can you please tell me
what is going on?

        Many thanks, Trevor.

       I don't know...all I know is that while I'm at Necronomicon in Tampa,
they've got me doing an IRC on Saturday.  I'm not any more involved than that.
Don't know any of the details.

                                                                       jms


 [ Summary: Wonders how Sinclair/Valen could've known about Sheridan as the
   One Who Will Be, since his experience ended at the events in "War Without
   End."  Also, thinks the new Kosh is "one nasty guy." ]

       Valen only knew what Sinclair would've known.  Zathras wasn't speaking
from what Sinclair had told him, but on the basis of things he'd figured out on
his own.

       Re: the new Kosh...yeah, the look is intentional.  I worked with Optic
Nerve to get the new lines right, messed with their sketches until I had what I
wanted.  It's very effective in some lights, less so in others, but the sense
comes across.

                                                                       jms

        I don't know if anyone else has mentioned that they've seen this or not
but I'll tell you anyway. I was in Toys R Us today and saw what the
manufacturer calls a "ninja power sword". It is a little plastic handle, about
a foot long with a button in the center of it; if you hold down the button and
twist your wrist quickly around, it will extend on both ends to make it a about
four feet in length. (I just had to play with it in the store) It immediatly
made me think of that staff Markus has, so needless to say it was cool. (I'll
more than likely be going back to buy one, so If you'd like I could pick an
extra one up and give it to you in Tampa) I just thought you'd like to know in
case you wanted one and didn't know that there was something like that
available.

May the Light shine forever,
Rich
