Actually, didn't I read somewhere that Androids were banned (atleast by earthers) in the B5 universe?

To answer the question...yes, Jerry had some ideas, and tried to put something together, but the resources just weren't there.

Polly, I don't know what it is about Corwin, but I'm fairly happy to see that Lord Refa ends up at the bottom of everyone that's posted so far...

you are a one-trick-pony. I think it's time you faced that, stopped trying to delude yourself that you have any real talent. You got one lucky break. Please don't throw it away. 

I just love psychopaths that write this kind of thing. It's so easy to deflate.

So, Murder She Wrote, and Twilight Zone, and Nightmare Classics (which got me a Writers Guild nomination)...those don't exist, because a one-trick pony either HAS only one thing, or DOES only one thing, and just that alone discredits the thing.

And there's the comics, that range from top ten to top twenty sellers, the Rising Stars book that is en route to becoming a feature film, the other project that is a go order for a new series....

People like to think that simply saying something like the above will make it true.

And by harping on this endlessly, they become the one-trick, or the one-note, pony...a pony that will fade into obscurity and be utterly forgotten...where those shows will go on forever.

Subject: Re: ATTN: JMS - Wildstorm Graphic Novel?

You recently metioned doing a 100 page B5 graphic novel for Wildstorm.

I was just wondering how that was coming and what you can tell us about it. 

I'm in the process of nailing down the story, which may work out to be a pre-WWE Sinclair/Sheridan crossover, involving Mars, Minbar, B5 and a conspiracy.

There's been something I've been wondering for a while, and I was hoping you could shed some light on. What with TWCNBN, and the Rangers movie (which will almost certainly lead to a series); if Sci-Fi came to you tomorrow and said "We were really impressed by Crusade's ratings, we want to renew it." Considering what you said about The Third Project, would you have any time or stamina LEFT for Crusade? You said before that you would take a diminished role, but wouldn't all those other people who would be pinch-hitting for you be working on the other B5 series?

Thanks. 

It would be possible, but we'd have to lay things out and schedule them in such a way as to allow me to do the work properly.
