I really like the idea of the B5 Bucks. I'd have sent some off already if I weren't in need of a new ink cartridge for my printer. I may get one today so I can still send some off by the end of the week. I've already sent in a letter a week ago before the B5 Bucks came around.
Is there anything else we can do? Anything else we can include with a letter? There is an article about the B5 Bucks campaign over at IGN, and they list some of the best known non-B5 roles of each of the main B5 actors. It's almost like a little mini resume for the cast. So, it gave me an idea, but not necessarily a good one, you tell me...
When we send in our letters saying how much we think the original cast is irreplaceable, would it help if we had as a 2nd page a very concise and well-constructed list of each actor's best scenes in the run of B5? The list could include at least one scene per actor and the exact time, exact episode, and exact disc it's on so they can load up their own DVDs that they're distributing and see for themselves.
I know that's a long shot because some of the people at WB receiving these letters may not take the time to do so, but part of my brain thinks it may take more convincing than just saying, "we love the original actors so much." Would it help if we pointed out to them the examples why only the original cast could do it?
One reason the B5 Bucks is such a great idea is because the suits obviously only think in terms of money. But what if there's one or two people at WB reading our letters that sees more than dollar signs? Are the suits really the ones reading our letters? I don't know.
Somehow I'm thinking this would be a copyright violation (and I'm *not* encouraging this if it is), but if anyone is good at editing and can extract from DVDs, could a compilation of best scenes be edited back-to-back and burned on a DVD to send to WB. I really like that idea, but I'm right, that's a copyright violation isn't it.
If so, never mind.
Even if these are bad ideas, let's list out some of those best scenes just for the fun of it. I'll start off with G'Kar because he's the easiest. It's Andreas Katsulas's excellent voice that makes G'Kar, so *any* one of his voiceovers would do. I also love the moment that my avatar comes from, when he makes the deal with Londo to free his world. The automated message he left to Ta'Lon in Objects at Rest isn't bad (but maybe not as exciting as the others).
I just think we need some way of telling WB, "Here, right there, look at that, that's what we're talking about. We're not crazy. Nobody else can do this, that way, and it still be the same character..."
Any better ideas than this?
