Let me add my support to the idea! As great as it is to just be able to read
your stuff, JMS, I also like to hold the actual paper in my hands.
Thanks!

JMS, allow me to put in my vote for hard copies of these scripts as well. Just
terrific stories, both of them. Damn TNT anyway. The plug was pulled right
when things were getting *interesting*
"The sleeper dreams oblivion"
Taelon scientist Rho-ha
"Pandora's Box"
Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict

Yeah, and that's what really steamed me the most about the whole thing.

Alas, it would seem that the Atlanta Hillbillies were ahead of their
time. This year has seen an alarming growth in prime-time television
catering solely to morons, and an equally alarming reduction, not only
in _great_ TV, but in TV that is merely acceptable. In addition, the
networks are showing an increasing contempt for the audience, with
"Profiler", "Now and Again", "The Others", and who-knows-how-many other
series being carelessly cut off on cliffhangers. The
smart-professional-woman-with-a-screwed-up-life genre is about all
that's holding on at all.
Kid's television is falling off, too, with the end of the Silver Age of
Warner Brothers Animation. "Pokémon" is surprisingly good, if you can
put yourself into a child's mindset -- I think I would have loved it as
much as "Winky Dink" or "Howdy Doody" -- but nearly everything else is a
rip-off of "Pokémon", a rip-off of "X-Men", a rip-off of "Ren and
Stimpy", or a mixture of the above. As to teen television -- well, one
is reminded of the legendary gentleman who remarked at the opening of
"Death of a Salesman", "That damned New England territory never was any
good!"
Were "Babylon 5" and "Animaniacs" the Indian Summer of decent television
in the USA?
Joe, old man, have you considered redrafting the "Crusade" arc for
13-episode seasons, and selling it to WGBH and the BBC? (Frankly, it
would better befit the title "Masterpiece Theatre" than a lot of what
they've shown lately.)
Oh well. One more day until "Gormenghast"!

NO.
But they may have been the end of major drama for the mass audience.

Which Babylon 5 actress has got a part in production the BBC?
