Aaron Sutton" <Garibaldi at worldnet.att.net>:

<<I attended the MegaCon 99 and jms told us the final novel backtracks the
death of Bester and that the hunter becomes the hunted. Meaning that Garibaldi
hunts down Bester after the fall of psi-corp. From what I remember the book
begins after the telepath war, but flashes back to what happened.>> 

I, for one, cannot bring myself to purchase a book that covers ground that
should have been covered in the Babylon-5 television series.

I believe that one should not subsidize such a cheat, otherwise, other shows
may feel empowered to take financial advantage of their viewership. 

Fandom should not be allowed to be defined as dumb fan.

1) The B5 series was never about the Psi Corps, it was about the station and
the people who live there.

2) Should the show have told everything there was about IPX, the Psi Corps,
EarthDome, and all of the various institutions involved?  Show me any series
ever created that can do that.

3) The Psi Corps books cover over a hundred years of history, and Bester's
final fate comes years after the events of the B5 storyline.  There is NO WAY
to include all of that in any one series.  You are asking the impossible, and
complaining because we cannot do what simply cannot be done by any series,
ever, anywhere, ever created.
