<p><dt>September 19, 1998<dd>	Newsflash:	<a href="http://www.aint-it-cool-news.com/">Ain't It Cool News</a>	reports that production on	<a href="/lurk/guide/113.html">"Crusade"</a>	has been temporarily halted in order to implement some changes.	JMS said Saturday that TNT has provided additional funds to upgrade and	build sets, which appears to corroborate the story.

<p><dt>August 24, 1998<dd>	German-speaking readers may want to visit a new site in the process	of coming online,	<a href="http://www.midwinter.de/lurk/index.html">Der deutsche Lurker's	Guide f&uuml;r Babylon 5</a>,	a translation of the Guide.  It's the handiwork of some very dedicated	German fans -- as the editor of the original site all I can say is	I'm impressed and flattered.

<p><dt>August 9, 1998<dd>	Reworked the Guide's list of books.  All books are now listed on the	same page (the	<a href="/lurk/novels/">Books/Novels</a>	page) instead of being split between there and the	<a href="/lurk/resources/products.html">Products</a>	page.  Books' listings now include links to	<a href="http://www.amazon.com/">Amazon.com,</a>	which includes a forum for reader comments and allows easy online	ordering.  (See the	<a href="help.html#amazon">Help page</a>	for a brief note about why I linked there.) There are brief	descriptions of each of the books now too.

<p><dt>June 17, 1998<dd>	A plea, if you'll forgive a slightly off-topic entry here:
	<p>	I'm being bombarded with tons of E-mail asking me B5 trivia questions.	If you're considering asking me to help you cheat in a trivia contest,	please don't -- you may think it's a clever and unique idea to ask	the guy who runs the Lurker's Guide to help you out, but I assure	you you'll be in line behind a couple hundred other clever and unique	thinkers.  It was already tiresome after the first 5 or 10; now it's	downright frustrating and is taking up a substantial part of what	little time I have to go through Guide-related mail.
<p><dt>June 14, 1998<dd>	<a href="p5/intro.html">Poll 5</a>	<a href="p5/104">results</a>	for	<a href="guide/104.html">"And All My Dreams, Torn Asunder"</a>	are online.

<p><dt>June 5, 1998<dd>	Season one has started again in	<a href="countries/si/eplist.html">Slovenia.</a>
<p><dt>June 4, 1998<dd>	A lot of people have written asking why there aren't images for	most of the episodes in season five.  It's nothing nefarious, just	a result of some household rearranging a few months ago that	makes it a lot less convenient for me to digitize stills for the	guide pages.  Rest assured that I do intend to put stills on the	pages that don't already have them.  In the meantime, I've grabbed	some images from	<a href="http://tnt.turner.com/babylon5/">TNT's site</a>	for the most recent few episodes as placeholders.
	<p>	Newsflash: Bruce Boxleitner has been named to the board of governors of	the	<a href="http://www.nss.org/">National Space Society.</a>	A	<a href="http://www.nss.org/alerts/releases/release44.html">press	release</a>	is available.
