<font color=red>Wasn't this going to be drawn by Brent Anderson? Is that still a go?</font>
Brent is doing issues 15-24 of Rising Stars.

RIght around there.

<font color=red>With the on-again, off-again trend of remaking old TV shows as big-budget Hollywood movies (Charlie's Angels is a good recent example) do you fear that 20-25 years from now, somebody might do a Babylon 5 movie? </red>
Not if I'm still alive to get it done right.
If I'm not alive, don't tell me.

<font color=red>The page referenced in the article is a joke page, and not any real movement to have England apologize through Straczynskian intervention. The url is http://www.dumbassandthefag.com/feat...h-contest.html
Hey, as an aside, y'all Know what I just realized... instead of saying something like Hurculean effort (in reference to doing something difficult), we could say Straczynskian (in reference to doing the impossible). Just an idea, of course. </font>
The problem, however, is that EVERY SINGLE DERANGED POST there gets automatically forwarded to my email, and I have to deal with this shit on a daily basis. And some of it is extremely offensive, insulting, and there have been some not-so-veiled death threats and personal attacks as a result.
So you'll pardon me if I don't think it's particularly funny.

<font color=red>Isn't this grounds for complaining to the website's host? </font>
I've tried and don't know where to do this, so if anybody else who can get this information wants to let them know, feel free.

Just so folks know...the site is now an ex-site.

I just checked Sci-fi's Crusade site, and couldn't help but notice that it is more or less a copy and paste from the Lurker's Guide. Was this with Mr. Grimm's blessing or do we have a case of plagarism on our hands?
</font><font color="red">
They're doing it with Steve's blessing. I checked with him as soon as I saw it. Would be *nice* if they gave "TLG" a credit, though.
</font>
I agree and just sent Craig a note to that effect when I saw this.

<font color="red">Did you invent the phrase "racing the night"? It's a very apt one, and I've since used it a speech I gave in my public speaking glass, and in a story I wrote.</font>
I don't know...I *think* so, but I can't be sure.
(I just did a google search and didn't find any other references with that exact phrase outside Crusade, so maybe so.)

Just caugt B2 on Sci-Fi last night. Noticed something for the first time...
In the scene where the Major, Sinclair, Zathras and the Guards all run out into the corridor to see 'The One' ...
As the scene progresses, there is a pan move and you can catch - on the right side of the screen, a guy sitting on some crates wearing a red t-shirt, blue jeans and it looked like a baseball cap... If I remember right - I think he has a cup of coffee (or something) up there and a clipboard...
</font>
Sigh...they didn't get the year 1 fixes out because they were so focused on replacing the later wide errors...will remind them to replace this.

<font color=red>My local shop didn't know when I stoped in last weekend. However, Diamond Dist. has it listed for the 18th (I'll believe it when I see it) and they also had No Honor #3 listed for the same week, which seems to be a bit early IMHO. </font>
That actually sounds about right on both counts, though you need to add a day for the holiday, so both books are out on the 19th.

<font face = "Verdana">Just for the curious, on the topic of ratings for Crusade....
Going to SFC, the show (which doesn't have the visibility of B5 by name) would be doing well if it did around a .7 or so in the ratings.
The opening episode did a 1.1, and the second night got a .9, both far and above what was anticipated...and significantly, as season openers go, "Racing the Night" (my original pilot/opener) built in audience whereas "War Zone" (the one TNT commissioned) decreased in audience on their respective opening nights.
It's nice to be right once in a while....

<font color=red>So, any word from Marvel on how well it's been selling so far? I'd imagine it's quite the blip on the comic charts. </font>
It's #5 on the charts, and from what I hear it's pretty much sold out everywhere.
