JMS is still on line and talking to Fans Every Day. He's been doing that for 12 Years. Some of the stuff he hears from fans he agrees with and occasionally he has made changes because of the feedback. He also hears a LOT of wrong guesses and comments that prompt people to ask if the person...

Well, since jms posted Extensively about what his influences WERE for Babylon 5, and that they were NOT "Rings", I'll take his word for it. JMS got his inspiration from sources Older than Rings. Rings used a lot of the Same sources. That's the reaon for the similarity, not some "rip off" or...

The evidence indicates that Telepathy is NOT a GENE, but a complex of Several Genes. Otherwse, we wouldn't be seeing as much Variation in levels of talent. The most likely explanation is that the Vorlon didn't want the talent to just suddenly appear in thousands of people all at once. If it...

Yes, JMS Does say that he is an Athiest. He also said that he has read the Entire Christain bible. TWICE. Which is probably more often (and more completely) than 99% of professed Christians. JMS treats all Religions with respect, not because he is a believer in any of them, but because he...
