But that's what Dangerousapple said, right? 1hr 30 min = 1.5 hours. Yes, there is the additional half hour of bonus material, but that doesn't count towards the length of the actual story. True, there might be some people confused by the apparent misprint in that article, but I don't think...

And in fact, according to JMS, it wasn't just TNT that wanted B5 to distinguish itself from B5, but WB as well. He says "WB was desperate to make sure that this show was different from B5". It looks like the order of events may have been something like this: 1) JMS proposes a spinoff series...

Ah ha! Sorry, but if I may be allowed to bring this thread back OT, I think I may be able to fill in some of the gaps I had in my timeline of how the Rangers spinoff series idea gradually mutated into Crusade. I hadn't really been following this thread...

Well, I received my script book in the mail, and read through all the stuff about a spinoff series. My head is spinning from all the different permutations of what might have been. As far as I can tell, based on both the script book and JMS's public statements over the years, the timeline goes...

Yes, though just to avoid any confusion that the original questioner may have, there's no reason to believe that Claudia Christian *won't* be showing up in future Lost Tales stories. Despite whatever hard feelings may be left over from her departure from the show, I don't believe anybody's...

Maybe. Or it might have been starship-based and incorporated elements of what eventually became Crusade and Legend of the Rangers. Remember, up until JMS wrote the screenplay for "Sleeping in Light" in 1997, it was not necessarily set in stone that Sheridan would remain ISA president for...

Background: Over five years ago, several months before "Legend of the Rangers" aired, Ain't It Cool News ran a negative review of the movie by a contributor with the handle "Christopher Pike". "Pike" later set up an account on this board, and proceeded to defend his review to the skeptical...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News On the subject of the production timeline for future disks, which someone asked about a few pages back, here's a quote from a JMS posting on October 26th: "And if the sales are anywhere near what WB expects, and I think they will be, there's no question that there will...

Re: JMS\'s 12/1 post JMS indicated that one of the trilogies in the TLT series that he would like to do at some point would be a Minbari trilogy, featuring Delenn, Lennier, and Sheridan (obviously, Sheridan is human, but it would be a Sheridan story that deals with the Minbari). No indication...

Re: JMS\'s 12/1 post One last thing about the timing of TLT...whether it's in 2271 or 2272. JMS had previously said that TLT picks up "in real time" after "Objects at Rest". Most assumed that he meant that the story would take place *immediately* after OaR. But now that we have more...

Sorry to go back to the stuff that was discussed at the beginning of this thread, but, in answer to those who say that the Excalibur crew going rogue would be a retread of B5 going rogue, it occurs to me that we would likely have seen this from a far different perspective. In fact, I think...

Re: JMS\'s 12/1 post By the way, for those keeping score at home, the ISA was founded at the end of Season 4--December 2261. Ten years later would be December 2271. Crusade Season 1 took place in 2267, so if it would have gone five seasons, its final season would have taken place in 2271...

Re: JMS\'s 12/1 post Looks like the speculation of "Sheridan on Minbar" story, "Lochley on B5" story, and (now delayed) "Garibaldi on Mars" story was essentially correct, with somewhat of an exception for the Sheridan story....which appears to start on Minbar, but ends on B5.

The script for "To the Ends of the Earth" very strongly implies that Matheson knows about the box. At one point, Galen asks Matheson why Gideon has ordered them to divert their course or something, and the script says something to the effect that Matheson's answer sounds like he's covering for...

Well here is the full interview from which JMS made his most elaborate comments on Crusade's intended storyline: http://movies.ign.com/articles/035/035904p1.html The Crusade comments are on page 4 of that interview: http://movies.ign.com/articles/035/035907p1.html To my knowledge, JMS has...

We do? I thought that JMS had only said that the show's focus would move away from the plague and towards Earth's secret use of Shadow tech, so that, by the end of Season 2, "it woudn't even be the same show anymore". That doesn't mean that the plague would be cured in Season 2. Just that...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News Of course, there's also the possibility that Sheridan makes an appearance in Lochley's story.

Re: Actual B5:TLT News Well, just to be a stickler about it, we don't actually *know* with absolute certainty that one story will focus on Sheridan on Minbar, and the other on Lochley on B5 (with the delayed Garibaldi story taking place on Mars). That's just the most likely explanation that...

Re: Live from the B5 Set Yeah, between the presence of Galen and a high ranking Centauri, that looks like a strong possibility. Of course, since the Drakh seem to be the main baddies in the B5 universe from Season 5 onwards, that's not too much of a surprise.

Re: Actual B5:TLT News from JMS! Well, just because he isn't the *main* character doesn't mean he couldn't get a lot of screen time. He could still end up in every scene, but just not be the protagonist.
