So whats stopping you from starting litigation now ? Personally I
would love to see the mountain having its peak lopped off <g> At the
very least you could use the publicity to correct all those misinformed
sci-fi fans out there ? You deserve ALL the recognition for an
unsurpassed imagination and an incredible effort in bringing YOUR story
to the screen and you do not deserve to lose any of that recognition to
the no-hope plagiarists at Paramount.

      Because, again, I do not *own* B5, not now, not before, not once
WB bought it.  The copyright belongs to WB, and they don't like to get
into these kinds of tussels.

Hiya, Joe.

Dish Network's program guide/magazine features a Crusade promo in
their June issue (p. 21). The promo begins by mentioning the Hugo and
Emmy Awards B5 received and then summarizes the Crusade story line.
There's also a photo of Gary Cole and Tracy Scoggins.
