I noticed that the last name of the first officer of Excaliber in Crusade is
Matheson. (Hes supposed to be a teep, I think, am i right?)

Is this a nod towards legendary horror writer Richard matheson? I'm just
curious, what do you think of his works? Were you at all influenced by them (I
don't mean B5, I mean in anything you've written in general)?

Just curious 'cause I've started reading his stories recently. They're quite
good.

Many Thanks.

Yup.  I fell in love with Matheson's work as a kid, and since we had Bester in
B5, I figured it might be good luck to have Matheson in Crusade.
