ATTN JMS: Harlan ?

[Ranger Zero]

I was always surprised that for whatever reasons Harlan never wrote a
B5 episode. Have you two worked on any other projects together or do
you have plans to?

Except of course that we collaborated on a couple of produced episodes.

BTW, what ever did happen with Harlan's sequal to "Demon with a Glass Hand"?
Was his schedule just too busy or was it an issue of legalities.

I'm pretty sure it was shelved just because it would completely screw up the B5
timeline... you know, by making it so that humanity is doomed and all that
(from what I remember from the original DwaGH, this is the case, yes?).

Although one *could* argue that humanity is doomed no matter how one looks at
it... I don't think we should get into that.

To quote Harlan from an interview in the B5 Magazine (issue 2.8) - "I never had
any intention at all of doing it. The lunatic made it up out of whole cloth".

That should have been issue 2.4.

Yes, Harlan said at a recent DragonCon that the whole thing was a hoax from the
beginning. He has said many times that he doesn't do sequels. And I should've
remembered that, but I was fooled for five years, too....
