[ Summary: Thinks that JMS' words would make a wonderful epitaph: "The
only thing you can do is follow the small, still voice at the back of
your head that tells the stories, and write for yourself. If you
write well, enough people will stay around to keep you on the air...
if you don't, they won't. That's always struck me as the fairest
bargain around." ]

Fm: CARRIE FOREMAN
I know you pay actors a second time when previous footage is reused, is that
true for the Season 5 opening credits, for Ed Waser & Walter K?
Love the opening credits, I get a little misty everytime I see 'em.

[ Summary: "I've just heard that the UK B5 Fan Club is no longer
'Official', that it's been disenfranchised." ]

Sb: #29619-No more UK Fan Club ?
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
The UK fan club was never "official." They were never a branch of the
official B5 fan club. We do not have, and have never had, the authority to
convey official status to ANY outside fan group, only WB can authorize such
things through an official license. We were concerned in that the UK group
was being perceived as such by fans there, some of whom had begun sending us
(and me) email with complaints or general notes about the UK fan club asking
me to deal with it since this was an officially sanctioned fan club, so it
became important to clarify that. You cannot "disenfranchise" someone or
something that was never a part of the "franchise" (a term I hate) in the
first place.

Fm: DARRAN WILLIAMS
Joe,
I was just curious as to whether 'Day of the Dead' would air in the 'original'
order here in the UK or whether the episode order used by TNT will be used.

It should be aired in the originally intended order, as will subsequent
reruns of the show here.

Vadim,
<I don't care for cow's life when I eat beef.>
How many conversations have you had with cows?
<He cares about HIS people and that (along with many other qualities)
makes him good.>
If you still feel that way after everything we've seen, then it's
hopeless for me to try to make you "see the light".
<It is obvious that we have different views on value of human life.>
Yeah........no kidding. I think everyone has a RIGHT to life,
freedom, and the pursuit of their own destiny.

Sb: #Babylon, California???
Fm: CARL CANTARELLA
Joe,
This has been bothering me on and off for a good two weeks now, so
I've simply got to ask you if an article published in the April 6th Issue of
National Review, titled "Babylon, California" written by Rob Long refers to
you or not? In this article Mr. Long starts off by outlining a conversation he
had with "a Hollywood producer" who he doesn't name anywhere in the article,
so perhaps the producer didn't care to be named, or maybe Long didn't feel it
necessary to name him. Nevertheless, the conversation struck me as exactly the
kind of exchange I'd expect if you were actually involved in such a
discussion.
Thanks.

To my knowledge, I've never spoken with Mr. Long, so that kind of
narrows down the possibilities.

[ Summary: Considers the fact that every Psi Cop we saw in "The
Corps is Mother, The Corps is Father" respected or liked Bester a
plot error, because we were told in an earlier season that Bester
scares even Psi Cops. ]

Sb: #30069-Scares PsiCops?
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
I don't consider it a mistake at all...you never heard much of other Psi
Cops talking about Bester, and they would have more knowledge of him than
anyone else. As with Dirty Harry, some of the other officers above and below
him liked him...and he scared the crap out of others. Same here.

Sb: #Signature Tune
Fm: IAN CLASPER
Joe
I have now seen two episodes of series 5, and have noticed that the signiture
tune has changed. Series 5 is a lot more upbeat than 4
Am I right in assuming that you are trying to reflect a "new world order" even
form the signature tune ?
