Joe:

Some of us were wondering: Did Kosh1 voluntarily participate in the fight
against Kosh2, or was he just a semi-conscious pawn of Sheridan/Lorien?

Thanks.

Recently saw a graphic image of Claudia Christian on the Web which purports to

Thanks, John.

<<   We were told, repeatedly, in verbatim terms, "No space series other than
ST has ever survived more than a couple of sesaons.  There is no market for
space SF other than Star Trek.  The market won't sustain it, isn't big enough
to sustain it." >>

Does the audience NEED to be as big for a syndicated show compared to a network
show in order to survive?  I think you mentioned in your "Quick Requests from
JMS" message something to the effect B5 has about 10-15 million viewers --
would that be enough to sustain it on one of the big three or even the little
two (UPN, WB)?

And by the by, mazel tov on 10-15 million viewers.  That's a heck of a lot of
folks to touch.  And no one can watch your show without being touched, provoked
or somehow moved.

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      It doesn't need to be a BIG audience, but it does need to be big enough
to make a profit.  And that's what they didn't know.  Since then, they have
made a very tidy profit on B5 already.

                                                                    jms

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      Had Kosh2 left when asked, it wouldn't have had to be done, no.  It was
vaguely possible, but they had to plan as if he would not do so, which in fact
was what happened.

                                                                    jms
