So Joe, on the million-to-one shot that JD does have something going with a
new Babylon 5 show which would star the original cast members, would you
support such a thing?  Would you become involved as a producer and/or
writer?

Now, we all know B5 was conceptualized and created as a 5-year story.  But
supposing that WB or whoever contacted you and said that the money *was*
there.  Isn't there enough room in the B5 universe for stories that would
take place between 2262 and the events of SIL?

OK, so now if your answer was "yes" to any of the above questions, then why
don't you join forces with JD and try to get another B5 story arc going?
Babylon 5 wouldn't be the same without you somewhere in the mix.  Warners
now understands the financial potential of B5.  It would seem that if you
came on board with JD and lead the pitch for a new series, perhaps the
chances would increase of success.

I don't tend to engage in speculation.

What forces would those be?

If WB were to decide to do more B5, they would do so, they wouldn't need
someone from the outside to come in.  TV just doesn't work that way.
