>> I'd be hard to pick an absolute favorite; I like all of them, for various
reasons, and at various times.  If you put a gun to my head, I'd say it was
probably either Delenn or Londo, because of the many shades to their
characters.  They're like crystals, they change color and texture depending on
how the light shines through them.<<
        That's pretty cool.  Londo tends to waiver between good and bad.  It's
hard to make up my mind, though at the moment I'm leaning towards good because
I can see that he clearly cares about his people.  Delenn and Sheridan are my
favorites.  They're like two rocks standing in the middle of a rushing river
and never losing ground.
        Can you give us any hints about what will happen to Garibaldi? He's
acting stranger and stranger.  Who would have thought that he'd resign- what
does the Psi Corps have in mind for him? (Or is that all too much to give
away?)

      Well...he'll probably start acting stranger and stranger....

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      I've spoken with several people regarding cons in Germany, but all of
them take place in 1998, not 1997.  And nothing has been signed by me with any
of them.

                                                                    jms

<< I find "Grey 17" grows on me with each rewatching. I think it's
mostly watching Garibaldi and knowing it may be the last time we will
see him in his "old" persona... >>

But the odd thing is that his new persona seems to be his old persona
revved up a little.  There was always irreverence and distrust before
-- the irreverence has been retained, and the distrust cranked up (plus
some indefinable difference, for which we'll probably get an
explanation "in the fullness of time").

      1) The re-edit is likely going to be paid for by WB.

      2) It's a VERY bad mistake to intervene in business negotiations between
a production company and a studio...you will ONLY end up pissing off the people
who you want to pony up the dough to do something, and that will be the end of
that.

      TNT has been *extremely* enthusiastic about the show, and doing all they
can to promote it.
