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!
