Sb: #674523-Length of TV movies?
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
How far along are you into filming "Thirdspace"?
Day 12.
Will it continue throughout the month of June?
Another couple of days.
And when will filming of "In the Beginning" start.
The very next day, wrapping on June 30th.
And approximately when will these movies air on TNT?
January 1998 for the prequel, the second movie either 18 or 36 weeks
thereafter.
One more question...Will these movies chronicle the path of all the
characters(past & present)to B5?
Two hours ain't enough time to fit them all in.

Fm: KEVIN P. KENNEY
Now that we're close to it, what's the last day that the renewal news must get
to you by, to continue the actors' options?
Is it after the two movies wrap?
Thanks,
KpK
{Historical Note: Renewal has come one business day before the drop dead date
each of the last three years.}

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Because Warners is working on several options to keep the show on the air
in the absence of PTEN, and a crowded syndication market, they've asked for,
and received, a 30 day extension on the drop dead day from the cast. So now
they have until July 15th to make it work.

Fm: BOB KOSLOSKY
JMS,
I noticed that one of your messages commented on your annoyance with those
that seemingly forgot the "military ethics" aspect of this ep vice the "kill,
destroy, shoot'em up" questions you received. I am one of those guilty
parties. So I am addressing this to you to let you know that, as an officer in
the military for 18 years, I did not miss the enormously strong aspects of
military ethics in that ep. We are sworn to defend the Constitution from
enemies foreign and domestic, BUT, what complicates things is the "extra" to
that vow we swear - AND to OBEY the ORDERS of those appointed above us. This
is a dilema that we in the military face constantly and you addressed it in a
superb fasion! So please, don't get the impression that I was just thinking
about shoot'em and die; I guess I got too narrow minded in wanting to see
your usaully excellent FX shoot everyone up in an epic space battle.
Respectfully,
Bob

Not a problem...and yes, that is *precisely* the dilemma faced by any
military officer in this kind of situation. There is no easy answer, and
rarely a *right* answer.

<< Does Newsweek have a web page? >>
I suspect not yet. It's certainly not registered in the search engines
the way other periodicals are.
I get Newsweek by subscription, and the weird thing about the B5
article was that it was *not* listed in the Table of Contents!

The info was wrong. The new date is July 15th. WB asked for and got an
extension from the cast.

Last weeks ep was one of my favorites so far, just the right amount of action
and drama. This whole season has been quite a ride!
My wife hates what's happening to Garabaldi. I hope he snaps out of it before
she quits watching.
Later..
