“No rush”, very funny. Bit of a coincidence maybe jms is wandering about the net while he recuperates. As I said, I’ve never read the books and didn’t realise that some parts of them intertwined with what was seen on screen. Given what your talking about in the above spoiler tags (and jms’s...

It’s just a thought, and probably a very bad one as I haven’t read any of the books. But given that jms wanted them to be viewed as part of the story of B5, expanding existing elements and introducing new ones. Is it not possible that joe himself wanted these sort of story elements included...

I never got a chance to talk to John Teska (he designed the big centauri cruisers, often called the primus), but I’m guessing they were based on some type of skate / ray going by the look of them, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was wrong. Talking of admissions, the most surprising one I...

Ahhhh, a consensus based decision . . . . . . . . . . . but why would he lie. Vorlon transport - ( even has pictures explaining it : ) http://themadgoner.com/B5/B5Scrolls/B5Scrolls.htm#Screen2_05_8 Vorlon cruiser http://themadgoner.com/B5/B5Scrolls/B5Scrolls.htm#Screen2_05_7 Narn cruiser...

Yup even got the original drawing for it. http://themadgoner.com/B5/B5Scrolls/B5Scrolls.htm#Screen3_02_14 It’s not difficult to find jms being attributed with all sorts of stuff that he’s never laid claim to. Most of it’s just eager fans taken quotes from the archive literally and not...

There is another point concerning the legal but not too legal stance. Don’t know about where you live but over here every library (public and university) have photocopiers in them. So they don’t seem to view it as illegal (or accept the realities of the situation) and provide the very...

Completely agree with that sentiment, and copyright law seems to be all over the place with little loopholes and exceptions. Take a fan site. Showing a screen grab by itself is copyright infringement but if it is used as part of an analysis of an episode then apparently it’s not and falls...

Nice theory that overlooks human nature unfortunately as not everyone shares your sense of fair play. The theory and what most folks say they’ll do. http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/radiohead_in_rainbows_pot_of_gold.php The reality and what they really do...

Just out of curiouslity, is it just jms replies to questions that will be in the book. Not the full content of his posting over at Usenet, etc. For example: http://www.jmsnews.com/msg.aspx?id=1-16978 When he's the one that initiates the conversation, heads up, etc.

This mentions traitors rather than renegades but covers the jist of what you were saying. Seems the becomeing 'traitors', the finding of the false cure and the realisation that is was false would have taken place before the end of season 2. http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/035/035907p1.html

I tried checking your profile, first time looking at that system since registering, but didn’t find any links to the sites you mentioned to have a look at them. Where are they? :) Are they sci-fi related?

To be honest I wouldn’t know where to start in putting ads on the site, besides there’s no space to fit the buggers onto it. Plus, and I realise this sounds pompous or in some other way that I’ve got my head firmly entrenched up my own arse, but I don’t want to make money on it - not that I’ve...

Could be. :) It’s a strange thing though. Active interest in B5 is obviously and naturally enough waning a bit. Going by what I’ve read and seen there once was a very active community with many hundreds of sites back in the day. But the depth of interest in the show is still there to a...

There’s some long out of print stuff kicking around including a CD ROM reference guide and a thing called the B5 security manual. B5tech is your best (on-line) bet. A little canon information mixed in with a lot of fanon – though on the whole sensible enough fanon. http://www.b5tech.com/...

It might be possible to focus on the station a bit more. To be honest never thought of doing something like that. Haven’t spoken to John I yet, not sure if I can. . . . . Maybe, won’t be for a while though.

Thanks. The sites a very long term, ongoing, hobby that’s slowly fleshing out. The reason for contacting Mathew Sprange was that the site has evolved rather than being planned out and I started contacting people on related B5 subjects that I’d seen fans discussing. Another is Jack Nichols who...

I agree completely, and suspect that the fleshing out of the story to give closure to it may be one of the reasons why it will take a while for some type of book to be created. May be quite a while as joe’s pretty tied up with other things for the foreseeable future though.

Based on what John C was saying that idea of discovering the cure midway through season 2 *may* have been a late addition as things didn’t appear to have been set in stone. Not that they ever are that is. Then again yon author may have just assumed in was at the end of the 5 year series...

Good point. I wasn’t thinking about the additional work involved in compositing if they relied on her visually seeing it in the ‘God Room’. You didn’t see inside the ship in the final version either, which does point at cost/time possibly being a factor. Your right, there’s a lot of...

I can’t see it being budgetary. The jump point is still created and the environment had to be created from scratch whether it was red or blue. I’ve not heard anything, but I can’t help thinking about what happened when LOTR came out. Remember, one of the (many) complaints was how hyperspace...
