JMS on Genie May 1996 Postings, Part 2 SFRT II RoundTable Category 19, Topic 43 Message 35 Fri May 24, 1996 STRACZYNSKI [Joe] at 22:16 EDT The chrysalis machine came originally from Epsilon 3, with the rest of the equipment. jms ------------ SFRT II RoundTable Category 18, Topic 1 Message 570 Sun May 26, 1996 STRACZYNSKI [Joe] at 04:55 EDT No, no eep yet. What other forums have you been hearing stuff? jms ------------ SFRT II RoundTable Category 18, Topic 1 Message 576 Sun May 26, 1996 STRACZYNSKI [Joe] at 18:06 EDT Bruce wanted to do the show, we said sure. That's kind of it.... jms ------------ SFRT II RoundTable Category 18, Topic 2 Message 467 Sun May 26, 1996 STRACZYNSKI [Joe] at 18:08 EDT Kwicker...no, in the original episode, the suit was always blue. We sometimes make mistakes, but we ain't nearly THAT stupid. jms ------------ SFRT II RoundTable Category 18, Topic 23 Message 341 Sun May 26, 1996 STRACZYNSKI [Joe] at 04:57 EDT There's a chance that the rights situation may work itself out by mid-Summer on Grimjack; if so, I might be able to peel off some time in the Fall/Christmas hiatus period to work on it. jms ------------ SFRT II RoundTable Category 19, Topic 43 Message 63 Sun May 26, 1996 STRACZYNSKI [Joe] at 18:06 EDT The stabalizer fell off in two pieces; the outer part or shell on the white star, the other half later that was clipped to his belt. jms ------------ SFRT II RoundTable Category 18, Topic 2 Message 487 Tue May 28, 1996 STRACZYNSKI [Joe] at 03:56 EDT Linda: at least one out of those three will come into play again this season. jms ------------ SFRT II RoundTable Category 18, Topic 1 Message 606 Wed May 29, 1996 STRACZYNSKI [Joe] at 03:15 EDT This is Kung Fu's last season, yes. Mike: the Disney situation is unique to Disney; they are all engulfing, totally dictatorial, and everything that comes out of there is incestuous as hell. There's a reason most anybody who's worked for them refers to the place as Mauschwitz.... RE: Space A&B...yes, the word is it's been canceled. It's amazing to look at the SF shows that have come and gone just in the time that B5 has been around: S:A&B, Space Rangers, VR5, SeaQuest, Earth 2, and on. jms ------------ SFRT II RoundTable Category 18, Topic 1 Message 612 Wed May 29, 1996 STRACZYNSKI [Joe] at 16:50 EDT "WB wanted some product placement using stuffed animals...." Never happened. Jerry is...embroidering. Space Rangers came on at the same time as B5. jms ------------ SFRT II RoundTable Category 18, Topic 2 Message 507 Wed May 29, 1996 STRACZYNSKI [Joe] at 01:17 EDT The energy being that got Sheridan in "Knives" had no relation to anything in the ongoing story; it just existed outside our normal universe, and got in and out via the rift (which also served to remind us that it was still there). jms ------------ SFRT II RoundTable Category 18, Topic 2 Message 508 Wed May 29, 1996 STRACZYNSKI [Joe] at 01:18 EDT PS, it's one thing, I think, to spend 2 hours in a movie theater and get a downer ending...another to invest 5 years of your life and then it all goes to hell. I think they'd crucify me for that. And I think they'd be right. jms ------------ SFRT II RoundTable Category 18, Topic 23 Message 350 Wed May 29, 1996 STRACZYNSKI [Joe] at 16:52 EDT The new edition is, basically, an entirely new book. One of the reasons it took me 3 years to get the damned thing in was that I'm a perfectionist, and couldn't just update the pay info, I had to rewrite the thing from stem to stern (I think only the playwriting chapter is more or less the same), updating all the information, tossing aside suggestinos (suggestions) that were no longer appropriate in this market, adding new info about changes in the fields, adding new chapters on animation, computers, and the like...it's a whole different book now. jms ------------ SFRT II RoundTable Category 18, Topic 1 Message 624 Thu May 30, 1996 STRACZYNSKI [Joe] at 01:17 EDT BTW, for those in LA, I'll be doing Mike Hodel's Hour 25 on KPFK-FM 90.7 this Friday night from 10 p.m. to midnight. jms ------------ SFRT II RoundTable Category 19, Topic 43 Message 112 Thu May 30, 1996 STRACZYNSKI [Joe] at 01:16 EDT I'm often tempted to create Zathras' brother, Mathras, or somesuch, if only for the look of terror in their eyes when he says, of Zathras, "Ah, yes...Zathras...was the quiet one in the family...." Who knows, it might be something I might do someday.... jms ------------
