Babylon 5 was created by J. Michael Straczynski as a five season
"novel for television". The series was structured to have a beginning,
middle and end. Set aboard a space station in the 23rd century, Babylon 5 was a
groundbreaking series. The show contained many mysterious plotlines which slowly
unfolded over the course of its five season run.
Babylon 5 also produced a spin-off series, Crusade as well as
several B5 movies including the recent "Legend of the Rangers" and the
prequel "In the Beginning". Babylon 5 can currently be seen in reruns
weekdays on the Sci Fi Channel.
July 6, 2002 Today we finished mixing the last of the Jeremiah two-parter. It's killer. Year one is finished; now we await word on year two.
For those who might want to take a look...I did a small piece for the San Diego Comic Convention website about, well, SDCC. It's a short but fun piece that should be up in the next day or so at
www.comic-con.org
Also did an introduction to Fiona Avery's newest graphic novel, WITCHBLADE: OBAKEMONO, which hits comics stores soon. The novel is some of her best work to date, and the intro "Of Samurai, Bulldogs and Applied Mathematics" is just for fun.
If you haven't gotten in your story/email/message/whatever on a favorite B5 quote (what it is, why it resonated, what it or the show in general meant, what meaning can be derived from it) for the upcoming quote book -- "But In Purple I'm Stunning, Quotations from Babylon 5," the door on submissions will be closing soon. Notes can be sent to
b5quotes@yahoo.ca
Finally, I'm writing an intro for the B5 DVDs, which are proceeding along well and this should prove to be a very nice little package.
(Okay, I lied, one last-last thing...after the 12th of July or so there will likely be a small announcement from WB that's B5 related. Can't comment more than that, and it isn't anything major a la a new series or a movie or the like, but I suspect a certain sub-set of B5 fandom will be most pleased by the information.)
As of this coming February 22nd, it'll be ten years since "The Gathering" aired. Boy, that damned tempus just keeps on fugiting, doesn't it?
