Fm: TONY SCARPELLI

I just saw that 'Sci Fi Buzz' is ending and it saddened me to see that Ellison 
won't be doing any more commentaries, I really liked them. He mentioned you 
are doing another series. Great to hear.

Now that you are getting more and more famous and more likely to be called on 
to write/produce/direct more and more, did you ever want to make some movies 
of real great sci fi literature?

I'd love to have you do _The Stars my Destination_ or _Stranger in a Strange 
Land_, or even the 'Foundation' series.

If I ever get rich enough to produce a movie, I'd like you to do the Bester 
novel.

Hope to see you in the future.

Thanks.

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      No, I'd rather do my own stuff, for the most part, and for now, though 
if a classic book landed in my lap, and it was a favorite, I'd be hard pressed 
to say no....

Sb: Ellison recommendation ?
Fm: PAUL REYNOLDS

this might not be the place for this but here goes.
I would like to try one of Harlan Ellisons books and would like a 
recommendation on what to try. i'd like to stay away from anything to do with 
B5 or Star Trek, but i would like to try one of his science fiction titles.
any help would be appreciated.

Sb: #31506-#Ellison recommendation ?
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      Of his previous titles, I suggest SHATTERDAY, DEATHBIRD STORIES, or 
STRANGE WINE, all of which are available at any decent SF bookstore.  (His 
stuff is also being reprinted in the Edgeworks volumes.)

                                                                    jms

Fm: WILL CARAWAY

Joe,

	I guess maybe I'm a little on the thick side, but no matter how many 
times I watch the Gathering I just can't answer one question.  Was Kosh 
actually poisoned or did he just fake it for the natives?

	Regards,

	Will

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      No, he wasn't faking it.  Understand that their appearance as a being of 
light is only how they want to appear; they are life forms much the same as 
many others, and can be poisoned if one knows the right combination of 
substances.

                                                                    jms

 [ Summary: "In all the previous seasons the scenes on B5 gave me a 
   feeling that the main color of the sets is blueish. But in season 5 
   I get more the feeling of reddish brown." ]

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      The color of the sets varies by location; DownBelow tends to be more in 
the red end and brown end of the spectrum (hence the term Brown Sector that 
sometimes applies), where most of the command sectors are blueish.

                                                                    jms
