You know, for people who enjoy cruel, yet amusing things done to cute
inanimate objects, you're just begging to get cute stuff sent to you.

So Capt. JJS mis-read it? He said Babberlon, not Bearbalon.

You would plan such a thing? You would DO such a thing?
Yep. Standard JMS protocol if I ever saw it. Which I haven't.

with this just a little.
Here's the story of the bear.
I hate cute. Everybody knows me, knows that. So after buying Peter
David's script #2, Peter sends me a gift. A bear. A teddy bear. With my
initials JS in front, and Bear-ba-lon 5 in the back. I call Peter back. I
say that I must now get him for this. He asks what I had in mind. I said
wait and see.
So I wrote the entire bear thing at the end of the show, and inserted
it into his script.
to be composited into the CGI. And there's our EFX supervisor, standing
there on film, against blue-screen, with this long rod up the teddy bear's
ass, spinning it round and round and round....
Whilst doing that, I also wrote and inserted the Kosh/Perfect Beauty
scenes, since I was already in it at that point anyway, and I figured it'd
be cool.
It also keeps the Sheridan Learning Stuff thread going, and works in
a nice balance to the rest of the episode. Here he's going nuts, being
harrassed, and his command is on the line...so he has to learn to bend
his knee, accept silence, give up his command symbolically by giving up
the stat bar, and finding one perfect moment of peace.

So... If I send you something cute, then it will be included in an
episode in a memorable way??? This IS something to think about!

Just a basic question:
Wouldn't Dr. Franklin have strongly disapproved of 'spacing' the bear
based on his interview on ANFAW? I know he may not have been consulted,
but
I don't think anyone should inform him of the incident.
Just a thought.

Amen to that. It was a perfect 'lesson' and worked well with the episode,
so well, in fact, that I thought it was one of the better parts of that
episode. Amazing to watch Kosh 'dance' (by swinging his head around) while
the chant was taking place.
The Kosh Dance (tm) tells quite a bit about the Vorlon, does it not? First,
I think it rules out the hive-being proposition. Second, human-type
entertainment and beauty can have a profound and possibly emotional
effects on Vorlons. And third, humans and Vorlons have something in
common: A love for beauty and music.
Without a doubt, that 2 second spot of Kosh dancing was incredible! Thanks
again JMS!
