"Onward" is nice...and something that had simply not occured to me.
|
|
There was one other earlier that I thought was good, and I'll have to go back
|
|
and check it out. I hope to have the new disposition of the newsletter
|
|
announced some time after I return from WesterCon, at which I'll be doing a
|
|
full B5 presentation.
|
|
|
|
As to the reference above to me as the Creator with a capital C... let's
|
|
keep it lower-case. If I were the Creator with a capital C, I would have more
|
|
hair, a deeper voice, and a *much* snappier wardrobe.

Well, if we go with that, it'd have to be ONWARD: The Official Newsletter
|
|
of Babylon 5 (or somesuch). Still considering.
|
|
|
|
We think we've locked down (in our own minds, at least) all but two of
|
|
our main characters. Put their photos all up together on the wall of my
|
|
office in the B5 wing, and they look good together...a nice mix of faces,
|
|
varying age ranges, not a "pretty-boy" or bimbo in the bunch. They all have
|
|
faces with character, the majority of them come from classical training,
|
|
Juliard or the Royal Shakespearean company...really a good bunch. With luck,
|
|
we'll have these nailed down by sometime next week, though I won't be able to
|
|
announce anything until Warners is ready to do so...we have to coordinate this
|
|
stuff.
|
|
|
|
Had one minor production-heart-attack today, but I think it's nothing we
|
|
can't get over. Meanwhile, the EFX are looking better and better and better.
|
|
Next week I meet with the sound guys to start mapping out our strategies.
|
|
|
|
And for those in the Phoenix area...the B5 presentation is scheduled for
|
|
WesterColt on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Catherine Adair ended up with another gig, so we now have Ann Bruice, who
|
|
was tied in our decision for a costumer for the pilot, but in that case she
|
|
was busy on another project. Now she's available, and she is doing *terrific*
|
|
work. Just amazing stuff...her work on the Grey Council is particularly nice.

Tim: no one's said a word about it to us, and I don't think it'll really
|
|
have an effect on us, one way or another.

Probably late summer. We have an awful lot of time before airdate, so
|
|
there's really no rush to get the cameras running, which is nice.
