From JMS....
* There will be an Ivanova romance...but not necessarily with whom you might
expect.
* Vir is *not* leaving the show. We're making some room for him to do his new
sitcom; he's in episodes 3 and 5 so far, and more to come, of season 3.
* You'll be seeing more of Zack Allen.
* New characters: well, there's Marcus Cole, a Ranger assigned permanently to
Babylon 5, played by British actor Jason Carter; we'll see Lyta Alexander
more this year; and Theo...what can I say about Theo...well, perhaps better
to let you see for yourself.
* We do plan to continue our practice of getting more ambitious each season;
we saw virtually none of the homeworlds in year one; in year two we began to
see more of Narn, and Centauri Prime, with some locations in the latter. We
will continue to expand in each following year; in year three, we plan to
show Minbar, more of Centauri Prime, the Narn homeworld, Earth and *maybe*
the Vorlon homeworld, if I can figure out how to do it at this stage without
totally imploding the show. New sets: yes, and we're creating situations in
which we can see more of Earth, Mars, our other local planets, plus Narn,
Centauri, Minbari and one other major world. As the Shadow War cranks into
gear, you're going to need a place to meet in security and plan for it, so
we're also building that. We'll see more of Draal's place on Epsilon 3. And
there's one other major set that we'll see in the first episode, and quite a
bit thereafter. We'll see Minbar at least once in year three, perhaps more.
We'll see more of the Epsilon 3 complex this coming season, yes.
* What's great is that this season, we haven't had one single episode on the
level of War Prayer or Infection or Grail, some of our weaker first season
eps. The worst we've done is pretty darned good. What we're now working for
in year three is that they're all better than that at their baseline rating.
And so far, they're killer . . . We're also doing some major EFX blow-outs
of a type other than "they go into space and shoot stuff." Very interesting,
creative, offbeat stuff.
* Never said the shadow war would be over in one year. Only that it wouldn't
last three.
* What is the origin of the Human/Minbari connection? You'll find out this
very season (year three), in no uncertain or ambiguous terms. You're
assuming that the relationship you saw between Delenn and Sinclair was a
romantic one. It was a close one, on her part in particular, but not based
on romance. We'll explain what that means in year three.
* Yes, the Rangers will play a more important part in year three, and
Sinclair's part in it will be revealed.

Okay, here is the deal...
I'm about to make a low-budget, one-shot, non-commercial SFmovie - just for
the fun of it. That is why I need a few spaceship models - hmmm... no problem,
a few kitchentools and some glue. Well, so I thought!
Right now I'm sitting here with glue all over my self, and one ugly big pile
of trash in front of me. Before I started, I read this and thought it would be
like a walk in the park:
"The Star Destroyer, envisioned as a monster ship a mile in length, was
constructed as a three-foot model. To capture the huge scale of the ship re-
quired surface detailing as small as a sixteenth of an inch thick. The model
making often involved the use of what model maker Lorne Peterson calls 'found
objects'. The three Star Destroyer thrusters, for example, were made of egg-
shaped plastic containers, used to package women's stockings, molded in high-
heat of the three, two-inch-wide halogen projection lamps built into the model."
From "The best of Lucasfilm Archives"
Yeah, right!

If Methos had been posing as "Adam Pierson: Watcher", wouldn't

CB> my name is chris banakos what is red dwarf?
Red Dwarf is a British SF comedy TV series. It is set on the Jupiter Mining
Corporation mining ship Red Dwarf, 3,000,000 years in the future. The last
living human, Dave Lister, was sentenced to 18 months in temporal stasis for
having an unauthorised pet cat aboard. While he was in stasis, a disaster
killed all of the crew. When the radiation had died down to safe levels, Holly,
the ships computer (originally with an IQ of 6000, but now rather senile)
brought him out of stasis, and called up a holographic simulacrum of his
incredibly insecure, arrogant and incompetent bunkmate, Arnold Judas Rimmer to
keep him company. They then discovered an entire race of humanoids had evolved
from the cat, which had been pregnant, and had died out, save for one remaining
specimen, known only as Cat. Later, they picked up a service mechanoid named
Kryten, and the computer booted up a (equally senile) backup female personality.
The show has run for 6 seasons of 6 episodes each. Craig Charles, who plays
Lister, had some serious legal problems (rape charges, of which he was found Not
Guilty), and the series is going ahead with at least 1 and up to 3 new seasons,
according to who you listen to.
If you get a chance to see it (it shows up on PBS in the US), watch it. It's
hilarious!

Agreed. Sometimes even the worst stories can be help by just the right words
to show that the writers have *some* idea of what they're taliking about. (One
major offense that stands out in mymind was a scene from Lost in Space where Don
and Judy are out on the planet, and there's an overhead thunderclap-like sound;
Judy: "What was that? An eclipse?"
Don: "No, it was too close for an eclipse."
No darkening of the sky now mind you, just a thunderclap. A noisy and bright
eclipse. Some writer clearly skipped his high school science....)

I find that ST:Voyager seems to indulge in technobabble more than its
predecessors do, but not so much that I can't live with it....
