    Marcus in Crusade?

    Even though B5 is done, and even though JMS doesn't read this place, I still feel awkward posting something that could be considered a story idea. The prohibition has been too deeply burned in. :) Nevertheless... If, however, the defrosting of Marcus was to be an integral part of Ivanova's...

    Where??

    Keep in mind that Usenet isn't really a "messageboard" in the sense that this place is a messageboard. It's an entirely different type of animal from the web. Even though most of its newsgroups (with archives) can be accessed through Google Groups at the link provided above, it'll seem a bit...

    Marcus in Crusade?

    Yep. Exactly. Which leads to all kinds of possibilities about Marcus. Was his revival supposed to be a plot element at some point? During the telepath arc, perhaps? Could've made things *really* interesting...

    War Without End questions

    I think they saw Valeria and another "aide" to Valen. For reference, from the Lurkers' Guide page for "The Fall of Night": I figure that the Minbari visions would likely follow the same pattern. And I suspect that this was the first time they had been seen, since it was the first time Valen...

    Time for sci-fi to hibernate?

    Earlier in the thread, you claimed: Now, you've mentioned the possibility of complex test marketing and acknowledged: Which means that, in the real world, companies won't have the data to judge the results of specific ads in specific media and thus will judge the potential media for their...

    Time for sci-fi to hibernate?

    HUH? This is, quite frankly, the most absurd comment I've seen in a long, long time. These products are widely available to the 250 million people in the US. That makes them general interest products when discussing the US advertising market. Whether or not they're available anyplace else is...

    Um, could be... I've been lurking a bit, but just haven't felt compelled to say anything...

    Time for sci-fi to hibernate?

    No they won't, because they'll have no idea how much of their additional sales should be attributed to any given ad in any given medium, other than by guessing at it based on the audience sizes and profiles. Not true. Just for the hell of it, I turned on the Sci-Fi Channel to see who was...

    Plot revisions throughout the 5-year arc

    You left out an important part of this. In the early Season 3 episode "Convictions", the sequence with Londo and G'kar stuck together in an elevator was supposed to have been.... Er, no. Perhaps it's better not to go there... :)

    Na'Toth: Season One, Season Two

    Re: Na\'Toth: Season One, Season Two Er, yeah. Exactly. Sorry. Senior moment there. :o

    Na'Toth: Season One, Season Two

    Re: Na\'Toth: Season One, Season Two Only "Points of Departure" and "Acts of Sacrifice". JMS was unusually blunt about her performance and departure, explaining that she played it well in the auditions then decided, on her own and against directions, to go low-key. So she was asked to leave.

    Vorlons and jamming Shadow vessels

    Explains the screams coming from the Shadow ships, anyway... :)

    Little Markab Girl

    It wasn't merely the scarcity of children during the series run. You also have to consider their fates. For example: Shon ("Believers") - killed by his parents. Kid in Commercial ("And Now For a Word") - taken by Psi Corps. Little Markab Girl ("Confessions and Lamentations") - died of Drafa...

    Universal <shakes head>

    Sounds like classic bureaucracy in action. Under one possible scenario, a low-level employee: <ul type="square"> receives instructions to send letters to all non-official websites referencing show. does a Google search or something similar, and researches ownership of all sites found. sends...

    'Scare Tactics' Gets (additional) 9-Episode Order

    Re: \'Scare Tactics\' Gets (additional) 9-Episode Or Probably the fact that her show costs about $5 an episode to produce and can be ready to air in a big hurry (compared to other types of shows).

    Scifi article

    This discussion is getting particularly annoying, because you keep coming up with broad generalizations like this and wrongly assuming that they apply to the U.S. media industry, of which you obviously have no significant knowledge or understanding. If you'd care to provide any reasonable...

    Scifi article

    Actually, in the US, "class" breakdowns aren't used -- the whole issue is a non-starter in the cultural environment. The main demographic breakdowns are sex and age (in certain predefined groupings), with special black and hispanic ethnic breakdowns available for certain data. And the size of...

    JMS tidbits

    I don't know whether he saw it coming, but he saw it happening really quickly. I don't think "Midnight on the Firing Line" had even aired before he started getting online questions about the changes to the arc from the departures of Laurel Takeshima, Ben Kyle, and Lyta Alexander...
