 [ Summary: "I've heard some rumours about a convention in Cologne here in 
   Germany which You, Bruce Boxleitner, Jerry Doyle and Andrea Thompson 
   are supposedly going to attend." ]

Sb: #659449-con in Germany ?
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      It took me a while to run this down, but I have the info:  I have not
been formally approached by this convention in Germany, and will not be going.
The convention was mentioned to Bruce, but he has not confirmed and is not
going, and is distressed that they are using his name.  I do not believe Andrea
is going either; only Jerry has so far indicated that he will be there.

                                                                    jms


 [ Summary: Does holding back the final episodes of season four mean that
   WB is planning to renew the show? ]

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      It doesn't bode well or poorly for a season 5; they'd hold back a few in
either event.

                                                                    jms


 [ Summary: "I doubt sequel quite highly - it'd be too much of a rush 
   to get it out, I think." ]

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      Actually, there'd be no rush at all in terms of getting a sequel into
prep and out the door.  The discussions now are in the area of fall 97 to shoot
and January 98 to air (with or without a simultaneous S5 of B5).  We have a lot
of the stuff we'd need for the sequel (costumes, uniforms, some sets,
prosthetics, that sort of thing), so the lead time would be very short.

                                                                    jms


 [ Summary: "So what do you say or know about the witholding of 4 episodes?
   If they do cancel the show, do we see 'em?" ]

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

       The fate of the show has little or nothing to do with the final five,
one way or another...they'll be seen regardless.

                                                                       jms



 [ Summary: About the rats eating the prints of the pilot, JMS is asked:
   "And did the rats listen when you spoke to them?" ]

       The rats are the ONLY ones who listen to me anymore.

                                                                       jms
