Right, it's depressing, but he makes sense (well, mostly).

Personally, I suggest that you wait until this fall and check out 'Firefly' on Fox. Joss Whedon will not fail to deliver the goods, unlike some others I could mention. </font color=yellow><hr></blockquote>
Regarding Joss, as he gets spread more and more thin (Buffy, Angel, and now Firefly), the quality of each will suffer. Personally, I thought the last two eps of Buffy were pretty bad, overall. The last ep. of Angel had a pretty big plot hole. This will be Joss' first space show, so I don't hold out much hope there. He still has to make all the space show mistakes that JMS (hopefully) has learned not to make.
Regarding Crusade and Rangers, I don't really have any faith that Sci-Fi will get behind either of them, certainly not in a time period that will work for the actors. Sci-Fi's been far too sporadic in what they pick up and what they drop. They pick up trash, and drop good stuff (much like most networks this year; it's been a really bad year). It seems like new good stuff just has a hard time catching on, and utter crap sells like hotcakes. Well, there's no accounting for taste.
Right now, it seems that Warner Brothers (not talking about WHV here) doesn't give a damn about anything B5. If they cared, they wouldn't have "lost" all the CGI files. They'd have to be complete morons to not realize the value of those files, IF they ever intended to use them again. They have to realize how much work and creativity went into making that stuff. To lose it, or throw it out and say you lost it, is unconscionable, and demonstrates that they don't care about B5/Crusade/Rangers. Now, JMS has moved on to Jeremiah, so almost all his focus will be there, and the rest will be on the comics.
The thing is that a really great series could be made of Crusade (and stuff from the Technomage trilogy), but nobody is going to give it a chance. Everybody's got their irons in other fires, and today, a series has to catch on immediately, or it gets canned. /ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif
