No, I was referring to the WB deal, which was what you asked about. I
do know that the WB home video covers all five seasons, I don't know about
Columbia House for sure.

She's just trying to stay employed like the rest of us. <g>
BTW, who (or what) would you choose to sing the B5 theme song (if any)?

The obvious next question: Is there a B5 theme song?
Or is this waiting for "Babylon 5: The Musical?"

If there is, it's probably aired on Dr. Demento by now....

[ Summary: A few questions from a viewer:
1. The replacement Vorlon in "Walkabout" said that they were all Kosh,
yet we've heard other names for Vorlons. How can all of them be
Kosh?
2. "Is Kosh Naranek any relation to Ulkesh Naranek?"
3. Points out the similarities in Shadow and Minbari language and asks
if there are any deeper connections between the two races.
4. Asks how Lennier could've left the new uniforms in the staff's
quarters without it being a security violation. ]

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
1) He was speaking metaphorically. You're being too literal.
2) No.
3) There are language derivations in common dating back to prior
encounters.
4) He would've gotten security to assist with this.

Or from Fastball....
"You can see the Shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home but they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today...."

Sb: #<Dark Genesis spoilers>
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Yeah, it's a great book, thanks...I really wanted it to be one that
stood entirely on its own. If you never saw a frame of B5, you could pick up
this book and enjoy it. It's a kick.

Sb: #47913-#Joe- Spec vs Story Idea?
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
"So, how do you want to work wild-eyed speculation on plots for a program that
hasn't hit the airwaves yet? Or shall I sit on my twisted speculation (ouch!)
until January?"
Well, since nothing's aired yet, I think speculations are probably best
suited until after one sees the show...
