Hello JMS,

Two questions: Will the show be even "darker" in season 4, will there
be less humor? If Sheridan loses his innonence (WWE) and quote:
"Everything that can possibly go wrong for B5 will go wrong", will
there be any for the great jokes we're used to. I have a feeling the
story arc is getting even more serious and darker!

And a technical question: Why aren't there any real spectacular Dolby
Surround effects on the show like in "The Gathering", are those sound
effects very expensive? Star Trek has pretty nice surround effects, B5
has the crowd-sound in the Zocalo, but I don't hear many effects
involving ships.

Thanks for your time, 
Rudmer Hoekstra, 
The Netherlands

Don't see why.

In space, no-one can hear the engines scream.

Real space combat would have to bite for that reason. You can't hear the
other guy blowing up, and if you hear yourself blowing up, you die...

We do a lot of Dolby surround EFX, and often get compliments on it.  The
problem may be in the station broadcasting it in your area.

S4 will be...more mature, but darker per se...depends on what part of it
you're talking about.
