Well, that seems clear enough. He didn't want to say anything about TMoS, for whatever reason. Then he implies that both Technomages and Crusade continuance will be a part of TMoS.
Looks to me like "The Memory of Shadows" has everything to do with leftover Shadow tech. This probably means we'll have Galen back.

Maybe TMoS is really Techno Mages on Spoo!

Which to *ME* implies that it probably does NOT have anything to do with the "Telepath War" or "Telepath Crisis" as it happened pre-crusade. Plus thats a ton of stuff to pack into a 2+ hour movie.
Also, if this is true, then it sheds some light on the scope of a re-write due to Rick Biggs passing away. He probably was NOT a huge player if it dealt with the Telepath Crisis...but probably WAS largely a part of helping cure the Drakh plague.
This is of course, all assuming that Mages/Crusade means Crusade era story and not something before hand dealing with leftover Shadowtech in general...
I'd love it if TMoS included more on the Technomages. I thought that was such a cool storyline, with so many possibilities. Does anyone know if Michael Ansara (sp) is still alive and/or working? I only ask because he was so good in that part, it just wouldn't be the same without him..but I think he's getting up there!
Sorry, Mr. Ansara
I don't want to stray too far from your subject, LightNZ..but I followed your link and read the whole thing. It was really quite interesting, especially what JMS said about Londo. He said, if there was B5 character that spoke with his voice and most closely resembled him, that it would have been Londo.
I just thought that was interesting!

Michael Ansara, born in Syria in 1922, is alive, and 82 years old right now. I was suprised at how young he looked in B5. His IMDb entry:

When I was a wee lad, I watched him play Cochise, on Broken Arrow, every week. He was one of my favorites.

Mr Freeze was my children's favourite villain on Batman: The Animated Series just because of Michael Ansara's voice.

Whoever answers this question, please provide ample spoiler-padding for those that haven't read the Technomage trilogy and seen Crusade.
Minor SPOILER for Crusade/Babylon 5:
.
.
The question: Did Crusade tell us wether Elric was still around after the Shadow War? It's been a while since I saw Crusade. I remember Galen meeting Alwyn in an episode.
.
.
BIG honking SPOILER for the Technomage books:
.
.
.
.
Let's pad the spoiler with some nonsense first. I'd think flashbacks, cloning or time-travel would be the only option for Ansara to appear in a post-shadow war movie. Some more spoiler padding at the end here.

I've read the Technomage Trilogy a while ago.
I don't have it here in my office to confirm the exactly moment, but Elric dies, I think, right before the events that took place in the last couple of episodes of season 3.(when Sheridan "died" for his first time).
Then, Galen got really mad and decides to go to Zahadum and so on.
In this case, I think that Elric...only in flashbacks but it is unlike.
