The JMS Benchmark of Arc-Writing

[To...@fred.net]

The Sopranos just wrapped up its 2nd Season, and fans are starting to pour
over the episodes to find little traces of foreshadowing and analogy for
the last two episodes to the season.

It reminds me of how people looked over B5 during its original run. I've
even referred to episodes as *WHAM* episodes.

It's a credit to David Chase and crew to -- whether intentionally or not --
carry on the baton of quality storytelling on TV that Joe was able to do
for B5.

I wonder if there are any producers/writers who look at Joe as an
influence.

This post on 11 Apr 2000 15:15:35 -0600 would probably sound more commanding if Jms at B5 wasn't wearing the Yummy Sushi Pajamas:
