JMS,

I hope this question isn't redundant, I apologise if it is.

Will there be future Babylon 5 TV movies? each one so far has been a ratings
smash, according to the Lurker's Guide. I know you are moving on to other
non-Babylon projects, but there is so much left to tell. Your comment about
having worked out the storylines for 1000 years in either direction is a
tantalizing one.

Not to imply that I just want factoids - its the story itself which has
always fired my imagination. The writers, the music, the actors... have all
refined their roles over the past 5 years. Even though you have provided the
plot framework, the sum total of any Babylon 5 story is always more than the
mere sum of its parts. It's that sum which makes me pine for more, not just
mere gratification of knowing the "happily ever after" part.

There are not more B5 TV movies on the boards, though next week we're shooting
the live-action elements of the Sierra computer game (with Lochley, Sheridan,
Delenn, Garibaldi and others).

Aside from the coming novels, I've just turned in the first of three B5 stories
that will be appearing in Amazing Stories Magazine. The first one, "The Shadow
of his Thoughts," is a Londo story taking place in the days shortly after his
coronation as Emperor.

The new Previews catalog came out this week for Diamond Distributing (comics
& etc.), and it lists AMAZING STORIES #597 as having a B5 story by you (though
they show cover art from 2 issues ago <grr>). Can you confirm this is the
right issue? (I've never seen it anywhere on the stands in the various
stores near me, so I'll have to advance order it; the new catalog is for
items coming out starting in June.)

Cool, any chance it will be released not only for Wincrap 95/98 but for this
Operating system we call Linux?

By doing a version for the new Playstation (the 128bit PSX-II), a
version for Linux on x86 might be a real possibility as that has been
confirmed as the new development platform of choice for the new
machine.

Imagine the B5 game utilising the new graphics sub-system on the
PSX-II! Wow!

Done properly, it could well be the *best* space-combat-sim for the
new machine. And the release dates will be somewhat similar by the
sounds of it, so perhaps it's time for Sierra to invest and make
their title the defacto game for the new PSX's release...

Another thing to think about is that would mean SONY getting behind
a Babylon 5 computer game... That would be an interesting situation
if Sierra played their cards early enough (ie - now).

Fah. The real question is, will it be released for the BeOS?
