Unfortunately, the geek was using AOL, and they're notorious for
|
|
not doing anything...though the last 24 hours has been quiet, so either
|
|
he's laying low for now, or they nailed him.

Thing is, I use the main address for email interviews with
|
|
magazines and the like...and as soon as I gave that address to one
|
|
reporter, everybody'd have it.

The quote appears on the book. It's kind of lovely, since that

turn around and return the favor and help to get it out there.

1) Will snail-mail for the cast work with the same mail drop address

|

Yes, though I'd suggest using the fan club mail address rather than
|
|
the Sherman Oaks drop.
|
|
|
|
2) Will the new cast members have e-mail addresses @thestation.com?
|
|
|
|
Almost certainly.

|

|
3) The {USA} latest Starburst says that Carrie Dobro has been signed

|
|
|
|
She played in the pilot, but we never confirm for series until after
|
|
we pick up an actor's contract.

|

No, apparently said nutball did the same thing to others, who
|
|
have sent me email mentioning receiving as many as 14,000 emails from
|
|
this guy who feels that anyone who is fan of, or involved with, B5
|
|
should behave toward him in a certain way, or he will teach them a
|
|
lesson.
|
|
|
|
The content of the email is long and rambling and designed, I
|
|
think, to be inoffensive...it's that there are 1,000 of them at a time
|
|
that is the issue. Fortunately, there haven't been any problems in the
|
|
last 48 hours or so, so I conclude that AOL took care of it...it's just
|
|
that they never tell you when they've done this.

Well, the Excalibur set is finished, cleaned up after the

|
shooting of A Call to Arms, and we're building the rest of the interior
|
|
of the ship, halls, a medbay, the flight deck, a bullet car for moving

around the place, and other locations. Also in the final stages of
|
|
casting for the various regulars.

Bear in mind, though, that the debate on whether or not she was

she finally admitted in a magazine interview that she was the one who

Here's the problem...and SFX is probably the one magazine most
|
|
vulnerable to fall for this, though others do it as well.
|
|
|
|
Somebody on the net posts something utterly wrong-headed...i.e.,
|
|
"I was at this convention and Jeff Conaway said that he'd been signed
|
|
to appear in Crusade." (This is an actual example, btw, on the
|
|
Gallifrey website, I believe.) For starters, what Jeff and others
|
|
signed were *options* on their services in case we should choose to use
|
|
them, which were applied ACROSS THE BOARD to anyone and everyone
|
|
appearing in "A Call to Arms," because it's pro forma for such movies
|
|
that are either pilots or segues to new shows. That's all it is.
|
|
|
|
But now it gets picked up and repeated on other web sites...and
|
|
then the magazines start printing it, saying, "But we saw it on the
|
|
web, we have a source for it." Other web sites see the magazine, and
|
|
pass on the info, saying, "But we saw it in a magazine." And it just
|
|
goes on and on, a self renewing implausibility generator...all this
|
|
because one fan didn't understand what he was hearing, or got it wrong,
|
|
because he didn't understand what an option is or what it means...and
|
|
suddenly we're getting calls from agents asking what the hell is going
|
|
on, and I have to spend time straightening it out.
|
|
|
|
The tendency to cite web sources in magazines has been one of
|
|
the most troubling aspects of the cyberworld lately.

The budget on all 4 of the TNT movies is the same. As for
|
|
"River," it's a much more in-depth script than "Thirdspace," which was
|
|
mainly just for fun. River gets into the question of identity, the
|
|
nature of the soul, it has some very funny but also some very moving
|
|
stuff...while there are some things I prefer about "In the Beginning,"
|
|
in some ways "River" is a better movie.

Wasn't their choice; I believe WB took the position that they

shouldn't air the final 5 there until they were aired here.

This goes pretty much along with what I've heard from others who
|
|
were there, if a bit harder in places. The general concensus I'm
|
|
getting back is that many of the areas I felt were in need of
|
|
improvement, and said so, vocally, have indeed been improved, from the
|
|
general organization, to the treatment of stewards and fans, and the
|
|
way autographs are set up. (I suspect they gave the bigger room to
|
|
autographs because either a) that's where they make the lion's share of
|
|
their money from selling photos, or b) to handle the long lines.)
|
|
|
|
There are obviously still areas that can be improved, but this
|
|
does seem to indicate progress.
|
|
|
|
However, I have still to hear any definitive response to the
|
|
requests by me and others who lent Wolf their names about the profits
|
|
that were supposed to go to charity. As far as I've heard, unless a
|
|
check was made out directly to the charity by the attending fan, as
|
|
during the auctions, nothing ever got there. If that's incorrect, I'd
|
|
like to know about it, but the continued silence, even and especially
|
|
stating that the information would be provided, is ominous.
|
|
|
|
That aside, at least organizationally they seem to have made
|
|
some of the improvements a lot of people, myself included, felt were
|
|
necessary.

I hear that a lot; each community seems to have one guy who

I've done all the doctor stuff, taking the antibiotics, chugging
|
|
cough syrup with codeine (the colors, man, check out the
|
|
collllloooooorrrrrsssss), doing half-days at the office until I'm up
|
|
and at 'em again.
|

But in this somewhat drugged state, I can only *imagine* what
|
|
the script I'm writing is gonna look like when it's done.
