New Babylon 5 News?

[Khephra]

snip...............

On the B5 front, there has been something of rather substantial proportion
that's finally gone from talk to money, such that I'm now working frantically
to meet some deadlines, but there's nothing I can say about this until after
January 15th, probably closer to the end of that month.

The only thing I can say is that phase one of the new project is a go, hence
the furious writing schedule at this end of things, which is why I've been
silent until deciding to kick up some dust on the political discusion. I've
been writing my little brains out.

I know the immediate result of this will be speculation, but if we could keep
that to a low roar on the nets to avoid precluding anything, that would be a
wonderfulness. But trust me: I wouldn't go on about something in this way if
it wasn't a significant development. Just trust me on this one for a bit and
hold fire until further word.

(Longtime followers of the various news groups know that an eep means that
something significant has happened, but that I can't talk about it...the eep is
just a way of saying, on the QT, that something has, indeed, happened and it's
real, not just speculation or maybe-gonna-happens. So on that basis, you may
consider this an eep.)

And on the topic of fans for a moment...I'm happy to mention that we've
included a thanks to Steve Grimm (Lurker's Guide) and our resident moderator
Jay Denebeim on the Season 5 DVD. Just a way of saying thanks for years of
help and support.

Oh, yeah...and next year you can expect two new DVD sets that a) include all
of the TV movies in one package (with commentaries from me on "The Gathering"
and "In the Beginning") and b) package all 13 of the Crusade episodes into one
box.

1. Are you involved in the production and/or script of B5?

4. Me? Noooo. I wish.

I'm just quoting JMS off of the newsgroups. He's the creator.

5. He had to walk away from Jeremiah

and then it was canned midseason, so he's got time for some sort of tv project.

6. Can't people just let Babylon 5 die a peaceful death.

Babylon 5 was one of the greatest series ever but only because it was kept to five seasons. And even on the fifth season it was on the shark-jumping ramp. All of these movie specials and pilot episodes have stunk. Let the show stay as it was without cheapening it.
