i too am gonna pick showtime, although it doesn't matter much to me, as long as
it's not encore/starz. i get all the rest.  and i doubt there's much chance
it's enc/starz.  as far as the outer limits goes, isn't that ending soon? or
already has ended? i believe i saw it somewhere, and if it does, that would
leave a time slot on "sci-friday" right after Stargate SG:1. :-)

incidentally, after looking through the long list of shows jms has done, i find
i unknowingly have enjoyed nearly everything with his name on it(i didn't even
know who he was until late in B5S5), so i'm fairly sur i'll enjoy the new show
too.[1]

>Has HBO ever done any original SF shows before?

depends, do you count "Tales From the Crypt"? if so, then yes, if not, then, i
don't know for certain.

[1] there's only 1 other person who has nywhere near that high of a batting
average with me.  hint: he did quantum leap.

I've been getting this a lot from people lately.  "Oh, I just knew you from B5,
I didn't know you had done (fill in the gap) until I was watching my old tapes
the other day and...."  Sometimes it's Murder She Wrote, but more often it's
The Real Ghostbusters or Jayce or He-Man or Twilight Zone or Captain Power or,
well, pick one...which invariably gets followed by, "I *grew up as a kid*
watching your stuff."

At which point I want to smite them with a very large mallet.  Or a very large
mallard, whichever is nearer at hand.
