There may be one episode to test the waters, but nothing's been
discussed yet about anything broader.

Got my cable guide today and B5 is on the cover and first page! Also liked
the 4 page spread in Entertainment Weekly.
Q: With the rebroadcast of S1-4 on TNT, how will you handle NEW fans who
suddenly want to ask you all the same questions we've been asking you through
the first runs? Will you repeat yourself, keep a lower profile and send them
to review the Lurker's Guide, what?
I'm also still a bit confused. Is The Gatherine still scheduled for right
after In The Beginning?

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Yes, the Gathering will be aired after In the Beginning. I think
they'll run the Guide again in-between, though.
I'll deal with the new fans as I have with the old timers...with as much
courtesy as I can, because I owe them no less. One thing that *would* help is
if people continue what they've been doing, and if a question comes up where
the answer is known, or the questioner can be pointed to a faq, if they can
continue to dive in and point the person to the relevant info, thus saving me
the effort, that would be wonderful as well.

Yeah, thanks, I'm looking forward to seeing the article and review.

Sb: #12527-Were four sections okay?
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
I don't think I've much noticed or cared what sections there were, or
how many there were. I just mainly look at what messages come to me directly,
and what new ones there are, using Tapcis...there could be 50 sections or 5,
the number of questions tends to remain the same.

Sb: #12448-#Kosh (Spoilers to ITF)
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
That's a good question, and one of the things I'd like to do (but which
I can't see any way to do in the series) is the whole story of who Kosh was,
how he got to be who and what he was, why he felt the way he did toward humans
(part of it was knowing Valen)...maybe this will have to go into one of the
novels.

I saw some of it, was working most of the time. They did shoot a few
select shows on videotape, as an experiment, which they later dropped.

Fm: MICHAEL ZITAGLIO
Happy New Year Joe,
Just saw a TZ episode where an earth spaceship rescues a group of people
whohave been stranded for 20 years or so. Tim O'Connor played the rescuing
commander ( I like that guy ). He gave a suprisingly accurate account of what
the last 20 years were like. Small conflicts but never nuclear war, education
and communication reaching nearly every home around the world. Man, Rod
Serling sure was a visionary in that respect. I can see why you admire the man
so much. Didnt you meet him once?
BTW,
Ill be sending those airship historical photos for John and Bruce this
weekend. Thanks for the handoff.
1998 will be your pinnacle year,
Mike

Yes, I did meet Rod once, though it wasn't until it was too late that he
was identified to me, at which point he'd left (typical). He was the best of
us.
