Joe,
I have been asked by several of my IRL friends if TNT is planning on
rerunning Crusade when this run finishes.
I figured the person to ask is you, so I am. Are they?

JMS, you have indicated that you have no interest in continue to work
with the Crusade storyline if it doesn't get picked up. But what about
the 4 scripts that are already written? will you be able to sell the
scripts, publish them somehow? I think I can speak for all the fans
that WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!
If the series does get a new home, will the finished scripts be the
start of a new season?

The only one that I know will be available: this Friday at
NASFIC (at a table set aside for SFFNET folks) Fiona Avery will be
selling a limited number of copies of her script for "Value Judgments,"
the unproduced CRUSADE script featuring Bester (which Walter considered
had some of the best Bester stuff to date). I believe it's in the
afternoon at some point.

Oh, man! She could make a killing selling more then a limited
number over the Internet. If reasonably priced, I'd certainly pay to
see what she had in store for our heros.

Just to clarify...she'll be selling 'em at 11:30 that Friday
morning, though folks should check the schedule to confirm.

Message-ID: <forum.babylon5.70346 at compuserve.com>
Joe,
If the Sci Fi Channel doesn't pick up "Crusade" as some people
fear won't happen, would you consider trying to prepare the show for
the syndicated market for next year? You got four pretty good years
with B5 in the syndie market after all, and on average the ratings were
better than they were following the move to TNT despite some of the
lousy time slots which the show got stuck with in various parts of the
country before the switch to cable, and so my thinking is that you guys
could do far worse were you to consider this as an option once again.
P.S. I watched "In the Beginning" again this past weekend --thanks
for a Classic!

Unfortunately, the syndicated market has become much more
crowded and much tighter since B5 went on the air, with Tribune and Fox
and UPN and others now claiming vast tracts of exclusive airtime.
Which is a long way of saying there's no room in syndication.

No, actually, it's a murder mystery story. Fairly
straightfoward, not a lot of deep meaning, written mainly for fun.

Subject: Roddenberry's new shows
Message-ID: <forum.babylon5.70427 at compuserve.com>
Hi!
I was just wondering...I've been reading a little about three new
shows that are supposedly based on some ideas that Gene Roddenberry had
at some point...Phoenix Rising, Starship, and Andromeda.
None of them sound like B5 <g> but Phoenix Rising, at least sounds
like it has the potential to rise to B5-ness (I said potential) if they
get good writing and a good sense of the story (and get good actors and
good...well, we get the idea).
Have you heard much about any of the three? Do have any thoughts
about them?
-Peter (hoping to find something to look forward to if we lose
Crusade)

Joe, when someone picks up Crusade how will you deal with the Bester
episode that Fiona is selling. Will you still shoot it or consider it a
lost episode, for lack of a better term.
Do you watch Crusade when it airs?
Thanks.

No, if that were to happen, it won't make a major difference,
since at most a few hundred people will ever see the script, and that
ain't hardly a blip on the ratings. More folks than that see a script
when it's sent out for actors to use for auditions.
