For followers of my work, I have some very exciting news, both personally and professionally. A new challenge. A new beginning. I'm going back up on the high wire, to see what happens next. Details below.

Unsure how this bodes for any future B5 reboot, but personally, it doesn't give me good vibes for the future of B5. JMS is not 70 years old, and Warner Bros. is obviously based in the States. It seems the talks he was having with the new head honcho there have stalled, or are not the priority they once were. This makes me suspect that they want to float the idea to someone outside of Joe's control.

In any event, if living in the UK is his dream, then more power to him. I hope it is all he's dreamt it to be.

BTW - hi.

Personally Looney takes it as good news for the future of B5. Babylon 5 has always had a firm U.K. base of fans. Him living there can only help that when he starts doing more appearances. Let's get him some quick success in the U.K. Entertainment Industry and maybe some eyebrows raise. I believe Warner Brothers still has a U.K. arm who might take notice and send a Memo.

Anyone more knowledgeable than I know why more from the Babylon 5 Universe could not be produced by Warner Brothers U.K.? Just curious. To my knowledge it should not be a problem under WB Corporate, but I don't know how it all works when it gets into International production.

And Hello Londo's Hair.
