Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Thanks. It's a lovely episode. This is the one where, after we watched
the final audio mix playback, prompted me to say to the other producers working
on the show, "gentlemen, we have just entered history."

Sb: #B5 Last ep <Z'ha'dum>
Fm: SUSAN PEAK
THANK YOU!!!!
That says it all, really!! The last episode was Absolutely Fabulous, and has
given us enough questions to keep us going a long time.
The really unexpected bit was Garibaldi. I was rivetted to my seat through most
of the ep; that nearly had me going through the roof! Sheridan sussing out
'Anna' was not such a surprise - but HOW he did it, and WHAT has happened to
him......!!!! I was also really expecting B5 to go, but it didn't - saving that
up for another time???!!
Thanks,
Susan.

Thanks...yeah, it has some surprises, with teeth....

[ Summary: Asks if Garibaldi was captured by the Shadows in "Z'Ha'Dum,"
or did he volunteer. ]

"Was he captured, or did he volunteer?"
We'll have to see....
And thanks.

pulling the hidden gun and climbing out onto the balcony all bloody and
beaten. ]

No, C4 didn't cut anything there.

[ Summary: An Irish viewer believes that "Z'Ha'Dum" is "without doubt,
the best B5 ep. to date." ]

Sb: #581015-#Final ep. is superb.
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Thanks...it's a knockout, I think.
jms
[ Summary: Loved every bit of "Z'Ha'Dum," from "the final flight of the
White Star (very moving in itself), to the shot of Sheridan against
the balcony, bloody and beaten facing certian death (an image that
will live with me for a long time). ]

Sb: #581046-<< Z'Ha'Dum >>
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Thanks. The parapet shot was one I was very particular about, I really
wanted it to feel *high*, and impressive. That whole sequence is one I run
again and again, it's very moving.

Can you explain then how Sheridan got in the state he did. Are we to assume he
had a fight with a Shadow, Morden or someone else before escaping. I assumed he
went through the door that Anna told him not to go through to get to that
balcony.
Darran.
Great Episode BTW...

Sb: #581056-#<<ZHD - Cut?>>
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Basically, my thought was that it was just the one shadow in the room,
and there was a tussle with some others, and he started running, made a break
for it...didn't seem worth the time to show what would've been only a few
minutes of hit 'em and run.

[ Summary: Asks if the name Justin ("Just In") was a subtle explanation
for the phrase "The man inbetween." ]

Sb: #581016-#The man in-between ?
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Actually, the phrase is "the man in the middle is looking for you."
Justin describes himself as "a middle-man."
jms
[ Summary: Loved "Z'Ha'Dum," and thinks Babylon 5 is "the best sf on TV
bar none." Also amazed that an athiest could have such a good grasp
on the concepts of good and evil. Wonders what will become of Garibaldi
and Sheridan. ]

Sb: #581054-<<Za'Ha'Dum>> Oh Boy!
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Thank you. (And I'm far from the last reasonable atheist on the planet;
we're just a quiet bunch, that's all.)
As for Garibaldi and Sheridan, well, we'll have to see, won't we?
