Latest From JMS

[DaRkEnEdStAr]

I or we have waited for over a month for news and all we get are cryptic clues ... how do we know b5:TMoS is just working title ?

Now if you excuse me , I am going to the shed to attempt to go insane

 

[GeoKuutio]

Well, this is indeed something to look for... Maybe life isn't so bad after all, I just preordered R2 S4 from local dealer, bought Warcraft board game and in the next couple of months I will get my hands on Narsil. Groovy...

thanks for the link. I was wondering if it was real, because it isn't on JMSnews.com yet. Looks like he's late this time.

I was thinking 'The Movement of Stars' myself. I just hope the powers that be like it, otherwise it could end up as The Manipulation of Suits.

now, I am just going to sit back and wait for another month or so...

Turn Marcus on Susan

This is very annoying, dangling a little morsle of information for us. Come on jms please spill some more.

 

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Well, as answers go, short, to the point, utterly useless and exactly what we've come to expect from jms.

The 'o' seeing as though it's lowercase is an article, that means either 'of' or 'on' unless JMS made a mistake there, which I don't think he did.

Many of his titles have a grand feel to them like 'Passing Through Gethsemane' and 'Intersections in Real Time' somehow I don't think that 'T' is for 'the' otherwise he's really constrained himself. 'The Something of Something'. The Mars on. . . uh, Theatrics uh, . . . The Mastering of. . . that bastard he did this on purpose. 'That Mean 'ol Stranzynski' is right.

Though I'm not surprised. It's very JMS.

The fact that something is happening in the B5 universe and JMS is involved is good enough for me. But why tease so JMS?

 

[**DONOTDELETE**]

But why tease so JMS?

Why?

You have to ask why?

Have you even seen 'Babylon 5'?

[Quagmire]

I think there was a typo.
"BJ:The Monkey of Southerners" seems more likely.
It's a BJ and the Bear remake, or a crossover series.


On a side note it saddens me that I am aware of this show and it popped into my mind since I belive it existed before I did.

 

[Joseph DeMartino]

But why tease so JMS?

See my message to JMS, earlier in this thread, specifically the line where I address him as, "You sick, twisted, sadistic sonnuvabitch. " Any questions?

Dr. G:

I was around when BJ and the Bear was, but had mercifully forgotten about the show until this very moment. It frightens me that you knew it well enough to make that lame joke. But, looking on the bright side, you won't have to live with the shame much longer because I will, of course, now have to hunt you down and kill you for reminding me that this steaming pile of crap once polluted the airways. Don't worry, I'll make it quick and relatively painless.

Regards,

Joe

 

[gangster]

Joe,
To go with your post, perhaps TMoS stands for "The Master of Subterfuge." :devil:

 

[Flounder]

They guessed the acronym.

One of the guesses on rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated was correct:

Just to honk you off even further about all th is...in the speculation of
titles...one of you was correct.

Re: They guessed the acronym.

The Movie opposite SuperBowl

That one is HANDS DOWN the best/funniest one yet, especially given what happened with the last B5 endeavor...

 

[Recoil]

Re: They guessed the acronym.

My official guess from that list is:

The Memory of Shadows

 

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Re: They guessed the acronym.

I'm going to go for one of these two:

The Movement of Shadows
The Mark of Shadows

Although 'Telepath Minds on Speed' is promising

 

[Decal]

Re: They guessed the acronym.

Have to say I think It would be The Memory of Shadows too. Sort of came to my head just looking at the initals. And what a lot of the major stories the time frame b5 is currently in post b5 , its the technologie and races left in the wake of the shadows leaving, while the vorlons have all their stuff neatly hidden away on vorlon homeworld. Gut feeling it may try to attempt to tie loose ends from crusades and forget the events of LotR: TLADBS (speaking of which have the actors finaly stoped swinging by?)
Though Movement of shadows is another choice, don't think its sinclair/sheridan and lot of the others are umm not very logical.

And ah hell know Joe going to beat me over head for this but with all the b5 and Lord of the RIngs similiarites wouldn't throw out the Mouth of SHeridan either.

 

[Sinclair]

Re: They guessed the acronym.

Let's hope it's The Mammaries of Susan.

 

[Vonbloodbath]

Re: They guessed the acronym.

Yeah, it's most likely the Movement/Memory of shadows...assuming TMoS is the actual name of the finished product. If it's the initials JMS is using for his work in progress, it could be "Theatrical Movie Original Script".

Before I read all this, i was going to suggest that he was *really* messing with us, and our speculation, with TMoS = "TV Movie or series".

 

[Elenopa]

Re: They guessed the acronym.

I really hate the man

jms must get some really sadistic pleasure out of playing with us. But then he did that with B5. I still remember the sleepless night I spent after watching 'Between the Darkness and the Light' as I couldn't believe what he'd done and I had to wait another week to continue the story.

I shouldn't complain too much. I have too much fun leaving evil cliffhangers for the readers of my fanfiction. *he. he.* :devil:

 

[Flounder]

Re: They guessed the acronym.

I think these are the most likely contenders:
The Movie Script
The Memory of Shadows
The Movement of Shadows
The Mark of Shadows
The Movement of Starlight
Babylon 5: The Myth of Souls
Babylon 5: The Myth of Shadows

 

[channe]

Re: They guessed the acronym.

The Memory of Shadows sounds awfully nice, just awfully nice...
