Don't know if you saw this quote in from Rich Goldberg, VP of programming for 
DirecTV, in the March isue of Satellite Direct, but I thought you might find 
it....interesting. Readers are left to draw their own conclusions.

"UPN calls are less about UPN and more about Star Trek. But now that Babylon 5 
is on TNT, what I've heard from our customer services is that whatever calls 
we were getting about UPN, there are now fewer of them."

      Could you tell me what page that's on?  Because I have that issue, but 
couldn't find the ST article that's bannered on the cover.

JMS may be saying thigns differently now, but I don't think there will be a 
Season 6.  The original story arc is finished after 5.  Movies are a different 
story.  Don't know about Crusade(sounds familiar, though), but Thirdspace will 
be airing in July.  I think JMS could do a lot with 2 hour TV movies or even 
the Big Screen.

      Just got clarification and verification: Thirdspace does indeed air July 
19th, and another B5 TV movie airs November 23rd, and one more on January 3rd.

                                                                    jms

The article starts on page 21, and the quote is on page 23. But you could 
never guess that that's the article that the ST banner on the cover is 
referring to.

      Trivia...actually, the original Latin phrase (if I have this right from 
memory) is "exceptio probat regulum," a colloquialism which actually means 
"the exception puts the rulte to the test of proof."  It's the bastardized 
interpretation which comes out to "exception proves rule."

                                                                    jms

another one?

These the ones already in the can or is TNT just going hog wild?

One other thing. You said you would really like to get about 15 minutes of 
Sleeping in Light back in. Have you asked if they would be willing to give you 
two hours to go out on and make up the additional time with something like a 
big wrap up of the making of the show?

Hell, they let you recut The Gathering which you figured you'd never get to 
do, and they seems amenable to reasonable requests. Besides, the show ought to 
go out with a long ep.

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      No, the episode is the episode; the only reason I could get in 15 
minutes back in the pilot was because I could find 15 minutes to cut *out* to 
make room for it easily, and still maintain the same basic running time.  SiL 
is as tight as it's ever gonna get.

                                                                    jms

JMS,

After all that great B5 stuff, any plans for the Big Screen of a periodic 
return with the occassional movie after the Season 5 run?

      We'll have to see on that one; I'm in no major rush.

Fm: ED BRANDT

Just on that thought. Has there been any ideas of makeing a B5 movie, i.e. 
like the Start Trek films. Also, I heard WAY back that there was a possible 
third movie in the plans that might touch on the Valen/Sinclair story?

      There have been discussions, but nothing firm as of this time.

                                                                    jms
