  7. The chrysalis machine came originally from Epsilon 3, with the
  8. rest of the equipment.

  29. Kwicker...no, in the original episode, the suit was always blue.

  37. There's a chance that the rights situation may work itself out by
  38. mid-Summer on Grimjack; if so, I might be able to peel off some time in
  39. the Fall/Christmas hiatus period to work on it.

  46. The stabalizer fell off in two pieces; the outer part or shell on
  47. the white star, the other half later that was clipped to his belt.

  62. This is Kung Fu's last season, yes.
  63. Mike: the Disney situation is unique to Disney; they are all
  64. engulfing, totally dictatorial, and everything that comes out of there is
  65. incestuous as hell. There's a reason most anybody who's worked for them
  66. refers to the place as Mauschwitz....
  67. RE: Space A&B...yes, the word is it's been canceled. It's
  68. amazing to look at the SF shows that have come and gone just in the time
  69. that B5 has been around: S:A&B, Space Rangers, VR5, SeaQuest, Earth 2,
  70. and on.

  86. The energy being that got Sheridan in "Knives" had no relation to
  87. anything in the ongoing story; it just existed outside our normal
  88. universe, and got in and out via the rift (which also served to remind us
  89. that it was still there).

  96. PS, it's one thing, I think, to spend 2 hours in a movie theater
  97. and get a downer ending...another to invest 5 years of your life and then
  98. it all goes to hell. I think they'd crucify me for that. And I think
  99. they'd be right.

  106. The new edition is, basically, an entirely new book. One of the
  107. reasons it took me 3 years to get the damned thing in was that I'm a
  108. perfectionist, and couldn't just update the pay info, I had to rewrite
  109. the thing from stem to stern (I think only the playwriting chapter is
  110. more or less the same), updating all the information, tossing aside
  111. suggestinos (suggestions) that were no longer appropriate in this market,
  112. adding new info about changes in the fields, adding new chapters on
  113. animation, computers, and the like...it's a whole different book now.

  128. I'm often tempted to create Zathras' brother, Mathras, or
  129. somesuch, if only for the look of terror in their eyes when he says, of
  130. Zathras, "Ah, yes...Zathras...was the quiet one in the family...."
  131. Who knows, it might be something I might do someday....
