ATTN JMS: Untold Secrets?

[Iain Reid]

When Babylon 5 was finished, there were many plot threads left hanging -
some of them major ones. For example - David Sherridan's fate, Lennier's
journey to redemption, The Telepath War (and thus the fate of Lyta) and,
most importantly of all, whether or not Zack Allan ever managed to get a
woman. This I see as entirley understandable since Crusade had to have
/some/ untold backstory to work from.

However, despite the hopes of those few eternal optomists out there, Crusade
is basically dead. The Actors have moved on, the crew has moved on, you
have moved on and the netwok has certainly moved on (if indeed, it was ever
there). So are these untold secrets ever going to see the light of day
through whatever medium - and are any of those mentioned, or any other key
ones, to be shown in any of the planned novels etc.

Personally I'm still hoping for another couple of telemovies...perhaps I
should ask those optimists if I can join them. ;)

That will be covered in one of the Centauri novels being written by Peter
David.

Most of us already knew that -- the real question still remains --
Did Zack EVER manage to gain a womans interest ??
(And if she was Centauri -- how would that work ??? )

Zack would just have to work six times as hard as a Centauri man.
Offspring would seem unlikely.
I've read that my suspect for Z's SO ended up in rather small
pieces.

Methinks I know where Corwin could go to get a date, but telling you
would just get this post bounced.

netwok? Did you want to stir-fry some TNT suits (figuratively speaking, of
course)? :-)

Good one!!! Did you mean mentally or physically there? I think TNT was
physically there, but that's about it. The "mentally there" part is "N/A"
in their case.

Having just devoured the first of this set, BTW, I'm pleased to be able
to say, "very nice work." Not only does begin filling in some of these
'untold secrets,' but David managed to get the primary characters'
`voices' exactly right.

Any idea when we might expect part II? Is there a tentative publication
schedule somewhere?

Agreed. PAD is very good at this on his ST books as well. His have always
been my favorite. Funny, but very in character. One of his best ST Novels
IMHO was 'Strike Zone' which take place in the early 2nd season. Funniest ST
book I ever read.... until his New Frontier.
In the B5 novels so far, (NOTE:I am not counting anything before #6 as ever
have been published.) the voices of the main character have been correct
about 75-90% of the time. In The Verly Long Night of Centuari Prime they
were 99.9999999999% correct.
I can still hear Londo now....

Dang, now I have to go break out my tapes.
