  I was wondering.  I know that JMS wrote pretty much most of the B5 series
but I was wondering if the elequent speeches that G'Kar spoke were actually
written as part of the regular dialogue or if they were added in, also, if
they were written by JMS solely or with assistance?  THe reason being, that
if it is so that JMS wrote them without assistance, I feel personally that
it shows just what a great writter he truly is.  Also, on the same matter, I
feel that it shows just how talented Andreas Katsulak(sp?) is.  Nearly
Shakespearian in talent I would say.  Even though the realm was purely
Sci-Fi, they moved me.  The passion he was able to portray through the
makeup was magnificent.  It makes me miss the show that much more.

I wrote every line of G'Kar's dialogue, inclusive of speeches, in the episodes
that bear my name.  In the episodes written by others, it was either written by
them and left alone, or written by them and revised by me.
