    If You Want More B5 - you can help!

    JMS has posted to ask us to show our strength: Please use the hashtag and @ those companies and don't stop! We can show that we're an untapped audience. (Not inviting discussion of what you want - if you want anything, please do this. Otherwise, don't. Thanks.) ETA: Trending at #3 in the...

    SECRET B5 project - completed

    I don't see how a retrospective could be "the closest thing to the original B5 in tone of anything we've done since.". As for writing, casting, producing in secret? I can't remember the last time anything I was interested in (limited, I realize) came to my attention via anything other than a...

    From all indications, this is something completely separate from the re-imagining. https://twitter.com/straczynski/status/1564641342264709120

    "Crusade: What the Hell Happened?"

    What makes you think that they were going to spend 5 years searching for the cure? If they'd been able to even finish the first season, that would have been abundently clear (and there were lots of hints in what we did see) Lyta was supposed to be the telepath in 'The Path of Sorrows' but they...

    Rewatch #3 Big theme ideas and questions

    Patrons, the chef...the whole restaurant was mesmerized by my audacity! It was a Very Good Trip, I thought, largely due to the company I was keeping!

    Rewatch #3 Big theme ideas and questions

    Ah, now I understand what you mean. Julie Caitlyn Brown does like to be what she calls 'assertive' and the rest of us generally call rude, I'm afraid. Not saying she's wrong, just rather graceless about it. Ah, yes...that wonderful evening...where I stole the dinner check out from under your...

    Rewatch #3 Big theme ideas and questions

    As somebody who's in the hotel business (albeit in the US), I can tell you that we do as we're told by the people who are paying for the room. If they say 'swap this person for that person', that's exactly what happens. Given that we don't know exactly where or how the note cards were situated...

    Rewatch #3 Big theme ideas and questions

    Nope, they were thrown out when the con decided to change JMS' room without his knowledge (so he could pack his own stuff) They didn't have computer issues, they flat-out over-extended themselves. The payments for hotel rooms bounced, the payments for photo ops were literally being run from...

    It probably doesn't hurt that there are Canadian Content Laws which mandate that a certain number of Canadians have to be part of productions so if an American production decides to make things in Canada, they've got that part taken care of.

    B5 Reboot?? Is it true??!!?!

    The main thing about the article is that it corroborates what JMS has said about the pilot still being in development and the CW president being a fan.

    JMS is one of her patrons and recommends her highly. I've enjoyed the bits I've seen so far a lot.

    B5 Reboot?? Is it true??!!?!

    Never understood why anybody thought that the Hand was actually supposed to be all that powerful. What, folks thought that a conquored (and captured) being was gonna say "yeah, they're really not very bright but they beat the pants off of us!" Not to mention the fact that "It's a big galaxy...

    B5 Reboot?? Is it true??!!?!

    There's been talk about HBO Max almost from day one. JMS has said But to paraphrase Dukhat, "[He] did not say anything then, and [he is] am not saying anything now." :p

    From JMS' Patreon page, with permission: ---- J. Michael Straczynski Feel free to quote this anyplace the “oh, the show is dead” nonsense sprouts up.
