B5 Online : Welcome Bruce and Joe
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : It's Actor-Boy & Writer-Boy, the All Sidekick Revenge Squad!!
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : We'll take the first question.
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : You've been eating too much chocolate again, Joe.
|
|
|
|
Question : Does B5 have an artificial gravity field or does the spinning of
|
|
the station create the gravity on it?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : WHAT? WHAT? HYPER? WHO?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : The rotating section provides all B5's gravity. The cargo area
|
|
atop the station is zero-g, as is the central docking core.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Cat Clock
|
|
|
|
Question : Is it a conspiracy or coincidence that most of the actors on B5
|
|
were in "Tron"?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : I certainly hope it's a conspiracy; will make coming to work
|
|
more interesting.
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : There are only two of us, myself and Peter Jurasik
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : And Peter's 6-foot rabbit friend Mr. Mord... er, Harvey.

|
|
|
B5 Online : From IrnMike4u
|
|
|
|
Question : Where will the series lead us in the next year. Will we discover
|
|
the reasons for the murder of the president? Will we discover the predictions
|
|
of the former commander will come true?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Yes on the first; you must realize that the show proceeds in a
|
|
logical order, if we set something up in the beginning, we kinda have to pay
|
|
it off...so here we have our people investigating this assassination, sooner
|
|
or later this is going to have to come out, and they'll have to deal with the
|
|
repercussions...all proceeding logically. This coming season is when all the
|
|
triggers get pulled, and all the birds come home to roost.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Cat Clock
|
|
|
|
Question : Is it true the idea for the Draasi conflict stemmed from a
|
|
writer listening to two kids arguing for their favorite type of Hi-C?
|

|
|
Jms at B5 : (I thought we didn't allow drinking during these conferences)
|
|
No.

|

|
|
Jms at B5 : Absolutely. Actually, he's been there the whole time. He leaves

|
|
left. (suddenly seasick)
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : I tell you its the chocolate
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From AFA Dave
|
|
|

Question : I saw the new B5 area, very nice graphics! I hope you upload
|
|
several of the special effects shots in Quicktime format. What will become
|
|
of the telepath's character now that she has gone back to PsiCorp? Is she
|
|
off the show?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Very nearly certainly...unless I change my mind....
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Asmat
|
|
|
|
Question : A question for JMS, any truth to the rumor that Neil Gaiman will
|
|
script some episodes?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : I'd love to have Neil do some work; he keeps dodging it, off
|
|
doing his OWN work, how selfish.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Kasper549 To Bruce:
|
|
|
|
Question : I have heard that the B5 story is already mapped out. How long
|
|
will it take to run and is there any guarantee that the show will be on for
|
|
as long as it takes?
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : First of all in television there are no guarantees... I think
|
|
there's a very good chance that we'll be around for the end of this saga.
|
|
How's that great maker?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : There are no guarantees this side of the grave. Except that I
|
|
will continue to lose hair.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Chirurgeo
|
|
|
|
Question : Bruce, I have enjoyed all of your roles since How the West was
|
|
Won. What was it like entering B5 in the middle so to speak?
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : Quite exciting, a bit daunting, and now I feel totally at home.
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Just that damned horse parked out back.
|
|
|
|
OnlineHost : If you have an opinion to share on the upcoming war, the
|
|
Minbari, Captain Sheridan or find out how Babylon 5 fans meet in real-life,

try the BABCOM Communications Center message boards at keyword BABYLON 5.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Vnette
|
|
|
|
Question : I suspect that replacing Sinclair was not in your original plan,
|
|
how does the replacement change your overall 5 year storyline?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Only in that it widens the scope of the story, and allows me to
|
|
do more stuff than I had first thought possible; it's helped accelerate the
|
|
storyline. It's been a help.
|
|
|
|
OnlineHost : To get to Babylon 5 Online, try keyword BABYLON 5. There are
|
|
plenty of pictures, video clips and soundbites to download!

Delenn and Sheridan.

|
Jms at B5 : It's very cool.
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : Just what I read in the scripts...
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : And it will also continue to grow closer as things get...more
|
|
difficult around them.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From J9P

|
|
BB at B5 : Joe keeps a lot of the storyline close to his vest.

|
new son. What's your favorite role you've ever played?

B5 Online : From Songokute
|

|
Question : JMS: Are we going to find out the Vorlon's real intentions
|
|
soon?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Yes, but not soonish...it has to come out gradually, by contrast
|
|
with another side.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From WCC Lev
|
|
|
|
Question : Bruce, how much do you find yourself getting into the story and
|
|
wanting to know more of the arc? Jerry Doyle seemed to look at the show as
|
|
more of a job when he was here. Are you getting addicted, or keeping your
|
|
distance?
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : Completely addicted. I've now read the next three episodes
|
|
beyond what we are shooting now and can't wait to read more. Write faster,
|
|
Joe.
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : dancing as fast as I can, Bruce
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Quel Drom
|
|
|
|
Question : My question is for Mr. Straczynski. I heard a rumor that Robert
|
|
Culp will be appearing on the show. Will he and what will he be.
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : It's our hope to eventually do a follow-up to the Outer Limits
|
|
episode Harlan wrote, DEMON WITH A GLASS HAND, with Culp reprising his role;
|
|
in the fullness of time.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Winter999
|
|
|
|
Question : What's the word on video releases in the US?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : WB doesn't seem to think anybody'd be interested in buying the
|
|
show on tape, even though in the UK it's #6 on the sell-through charts
|
|
(after Schindler's List), we're hoping the fans can...educate them.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Futrworke
|
|
|
|
Question : In the comic book there was a scene from the past where Talia
|
|
was being experimented on by Psi-corps. Is this when she had the other
|
|
personality implanted? Are you going to bring in another telelpath?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Yes, that was when Talia and others had certain modifications
|
|
made...and Lyta will be seen more next season, on many occasions, but a
|
|
regular PsiCorps teep...no.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From GinHart
|
|
|
|
Question : Will the Shadows get what's coming to them soon?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Depends on what you think is coming to them.
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : Don't be so impatient. It's just starting to get interesting in
|
|
our galaxy.
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Suffice there are interesting things in store for them...and
|
|
from them to us.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From WCC Lev
|
|
|
|
Question : Bruce, how does it feel to see the show after the post
|
|
production work is done? None of the previous work I've seen you in has
|
|
special effects. Does it change your performance, or can you "see" what's
|
|
supposed to happen?
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : Each time it's a terrific surprise to see the finished show,
|
|
it's hard to imagine so of Ron Thornton's creations when all you see on set
|
|
is a big blue screen.
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Actually Bruce IS a special effect; in reality he's only 4'3"
|
|
with one leg. Whose leg, we don't know
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From RDunn2344
|
|
|
|
Question : Bruce,what is your favorite episode of b5 sofar
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : The Coming of Shadows and Shadow of Za'ha'dum are my favorites
|
|
so far...and the ep you will see in two weeks, the finale to season two.
|
|
WOW!!
|
|
|
|
Question : I recently saw a newsletter saying that many of the cast from B5
|
|
will be appearing at the ConRad in Universal City this coming weekend. How
|
|
accurate is this? and will the both of you be there? if so, when?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : I won't be there, no, nor will Harlan; there are apparently some
|
|
misconceptions on this.
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : I will be co-hosting the SciFi Universe Magazine Awards this
|
|
weekend at Universal City, some of the other cast and production folks will
|
|
be there at the Awards, but not the con.
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : He'll be doing it with Nana Visitor. Er, hosting. (Hi,
|
|
Melissa.)
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From MAKagle
|
|
|
|
Question : Sorry, will we se SINCLAIR again as a recurring character?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : There are no immediate plans for that, no, though he'll be
|
|
appearing in a 2-parter this coming 3rd season, as Ranger One coming to B5.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From SueKamaka
|
|
|
|
Question : Will be seeing an more of Na'Toth this season?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Na'Toth's last words: "Look, that looks like a big ol' meteor
|
|
coming this way." BTW, as Bruce just reminded me, Majel Barrett Roddenberry
|
|
is doing a guest... appearance on B5 this coming season, to support B5 and
|
|
end this silly feud.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From CASADELAR
|
|
|
|
Question : What is Sheridan's deepest thoughts concerning Ivana?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Nice shoes
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : She's probably his closest friend on B5....
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Good friend, confidante, fellow warrior, trusted ally. And nice
|
|
shoes
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : And he wouldn't want to make her mad.
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : great hair (of course I notice that)
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From BilboShir
|
|
|
|
Question : What is the third age of Mankind... and the first two?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : If I told you the first 2, you'd know the third; the third's a
|
|
surprise. BTW, Brad Dourif also does a guest shot in the coming season
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Siebers
|
|
|
|
Question : How do you keep such a large cast together when individual
|
|
actors go episodes without a scene?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Crazy glue and branding irons. Actually, it's very hard,
|
|
because they're all very talented and you can't have every single actor in
|
|
every single episode, so you alternate, and give more time to some in one
|
|
script, then others in another script, and hope that in the final analysis,
|
|
it all works out. Paying them would also help, but we're still working that
|
|
out.
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : I'm bringing the horse into your office now.
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Fine, you clean the carpet this time.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Pnmnm5
|
|
|
|
Question : JMS, when you first wrote the 5 year story arc, who did you
|
|
have in mind to be the traitor? I'm betting it was not the commercial
|
|
telepath character.
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Actually, it would've been Laurel Takashima, who would've been
|
|
the one who also shot Garibaldi.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From RTomasz18
|
|
|
|
Question : whats coming up in the new season
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Theo and his 12 brothers come to B5...lots of stuff on the
|
|
station blows up, Sheridan gets command of a Minbari/Vorlon crossbreed
|
|
ship..Bester returns...Sheridan goes right up against a Shadow....old ones
|
|
get heard and seen...and Ivanova has the best line of the series to date in
|
|
Sheridan's bedroom.

|
|
|
B5 Online : From Mic12345

|
|

|
|
B5 Online : From Db3l
|
|
|
|
Question : To JMS: Do you have any plans on publishing the Babylon 5 story
|
|
as a novel following the run of the series? And if so, would it be written
|
|
specifically to be a novel, or strictly as an adaptation of the serialized
|
|
version?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : "Listen, Mohammed, baby, now that you've just moved this
|
|
mountain, could you move the rest of that mountain range over there?" One
|
|
crisis at a time...just getting through this show now takes all my effort,
|
|
can't imagine past that now.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Songokute
|
|
|
|
Question : BB, What episode was the funniest to act in, or which had the
|
|
most practical jokes?
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : Crisis...you must be talking about the horse, right?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : OH! *That's* the horse...I thought that was Doug (my
|
|
partner). That explains saddle.
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : Every episode with Ivanova and Sheridan in the Observation Dome,
|
|
winds up being pretty funny to get through. We've had some great gags
|
|
there. But there is humor almost every day we are shooting the series.
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : cat-igniting tournaments on-set, always great fun

and see what happens.

you have seen ?

|
|
Question : What led you to do aScience fiction show, and specifically
|
|
where did the inspiration for B5 come from??
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Always an SF fan; wanted to do an epic since growing up on
|
|
them; inspiration not from any one source, but lots of little things:
|
|
history, religion, Jungian psychology, early Babylonian history, some
|
|
sociological stuff I wanted to get into, and 'cause I had a cool idea. SF is
|
|
made for this kind of show, but this kind of thing hasn't been done much on
|
|
American TV, though the British have done plenty of it. It's our turn.
|

to let them go....Was the sound Sheridan heard over the Monitors that of the

Shadows influencing him?
|
|
|

Jms at B5 : The sound was probably Bruce's agent paging him....
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : At least my agent still calls.
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Yeah, but he keeps forgetting your name.
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : Sheridan was able to get a glimpse of the shadows accompanying
|
|
Morden.
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : But no, no influence was exerted (Agent of Darkness above).
|
|
The sound just twigged him to see it.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From DKeith215

|
|
|
B5 Online : What kind of change can we expect?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : That would be telling. But it's a huge one, and a *permanent*
|
|
one.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From OscarJ
|
|
|
|
Question : Any hints on what will happen in season 3?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Matters get more intense. B5 has to deal with the whole
|
|
assassination storyline once and for all...and everything turns upside down
|
|
for everyone. Except Kosh.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Mfc2112
|
|
|
|
Question : JMS, do you see recent changes in DS9's format as a response to
|
|
B5's popularity?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Certainly I'm pleased to see that they're responding to some of
|
|
the changes we've wrought on the world of SF, production-wise and in other
|
|
areas...our sense is that we can never "challenge" (though that's a wrong
|
|
word) the ST hold on SF financially in PR, established name value,
|
|
merchandising.. but we can challenge the hell out of them artistically...and
|
|
we hope that they come right back at us and challenge *us*...with the
|
|
ultimate beneficiary being the viewers.

B5 Online : From Anthony H
|
|
|
|
Question : We know B5 is five miles long, but what is the diameter of
|
|
Babylon 5?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Five hundred times this:
|
|
<--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : five hundred THOUSAnd times Actually, that's a math
|
|
question...nobody told me there'd be a test, mathematics not Zathras'
|
|
skill...Ron Thornton has all that info.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From RDunn2344
|
|
|
|
Question : jm, how many fighters does the b5 hold?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : 4 squadrons total...John C (I know you're there, stop
|
|
hiding)..how many per squad now?
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : Nine at last count.
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : And we've got backups here and there. We will be adding some NEW
|
|
starfuries next season
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : Total with reserves, 60. Math, ugh
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From VetPsycWa
|
|
|
|
Question : To JMS: B5 has become my favorite show, I like it much better
|
|
than Star Trek, and even the X-Files (my second favorite). Do you plan to do
|
|
a second five year mini-series? I can't stand the thought of it ending.
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : I've always had a possible side-story that could go off after
|
|
this one, since in making B5, I worked out the story +/- 10 years on either
|
|
side, in building the universe, so there's plenty of stories there. I"m open
|
|
to it, but if it happens, only Kosh knows.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Winter999 for Bruce:
|
|
|
|
Question : What are you're hours like? How much sleep do you get?
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : Well with a new baby, much fewer. But work-wise, it's not bad,
|
|
most days are around 12 hours. ga
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : We'll take 2 more questions.
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From BobboG2
|
|
|
|
Question : Just what is the derivation of "Zokolow?"
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : It's from the South American language, meaning Grand Plaza
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : Zocalo is a Latin American term for central market place.
|
|
Jms at B5 : spelled Zocalo
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : same difference
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : Last question: From DaveMage
|
|
|
|
Question : If B-5 continues to enjoy success, will you extend it beyond the
|
|
5-year plan?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : As noted above, there's a possibility of a side-story, but the
|
|
B5 story itself ends in 5 years...my partner Doug wants to do a B5 movie, but
|
|
then...
|
|
|
|
BB at B5 : Kaboom
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : Doug also wants to conquer Mars, so there you are. But this
|
|
story has a definite beginning, middle and end, I can't walk away from that.
|
|
C'Mon, someone must have one REALLY good question to end this with. (no
|
|
pressure) (we're all watching) (this will be half your grade)
|
|
|
|
B5 Online : From Alison JL
|
|
|
|
Question : Will there be a future storyline with the current Captain and
|
|
his predecessor?
|
|
|
|
Jms at B5 : In the two-parter, we will put Sinclair and Sheridan together
|
|
for most of the story which will tie up the whole Babylon 4 storyline, and
|
|
resolve many of the questions still outstanding from that and other areas.
|
|
It should be a hoot; we're overall working to make year three more intense,
|
|
bigger, with more astonishing CGI than before. It's going to be a real hoot.
|
|
We've seen the first half dozen or so, and they're all totally top-notch, in
|
|
large measure due to the actors like Bruce, and Andreas, and...Claudia, and
|
|
Mira, and all the others. It's something we're all very proud of. (damn,
|
|
ended on a dangling participle.)
|
|
