                 VISITING BABYLON 5 IN CYBERSPACE


              A Resource Guide to B5 on the Internet


     Babylon 5 is the only television show in which viewers can watch an
episode, then get on the Internet, post their questions or thoughts, "and be
reasonably sure your voice will be heard," says creator and executive
producer J. Michael Straczynski (or JMS online) -- who spends several hours
a day responding to many of the several hundred online messages he receives
daily.


     Whether you're a new viewer or show regular, all you need is access to
the Internet, where a universe of interesting facts and fascinating trivia
are instantly available from Babylon 5's online galaxy of 265 fan-mounted
Web sites, an official home page, and numerous newsgroups (where JMS "lurks"
and answers viewer queries).


     So if you want to be the Babylon 5 authority in your office or
neighborhood...enter these "jumpgates" to be transported into a hyperspace
of insider knowledge!
