of them, placed at the right spots, and you never have the problem of
overcast days or the sun not shining.
Have the collectors convert the light into microwaves, beam the
microwaves to large antennas on the surface, then convert the microwaves to
electricity. Simple. Large initial investment which pays for itself very
quickly.

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.

Early eighties, I think. Should still be posible to order it, or find it in

I was rather disappointed that the sets and all were destroyed (perhaps
keeping the blueprints around would've been wise, though), but I can see his
point. The effects and saucer design from Forbidden Planet were recycled through
a couple of Twilight Zone episodes (though they at least did them justice), and
even a TV Batman episode....

YES! Jack, I could kiss you! That's exactly what I've been trying to get across!
Kubrick's assholery doesn't stop him from being a hell of a filmmaker. If he had
a bit more humility, and owned up to his errors more readily, I might think
better of him. As it is, while he's done some awesome work, there are other
directors I like better, mostly because they're not arrogant snobs.
Read Huston's autobiography, _An Open Book_. You'll develop a whole different of
the man. He may have been an arrogant jackass, but he was
a likeable arrogant jackass. That, to me, is the primary difference between him
and Kubrick. Huston at least has a sense of humor...

KR> That was a hard series to top, too. Outstanding social commentary.
Especially in the 1st (I think) episode where Sykes takes the reactionaries to
task, and mentions the '64 Civil Rights Act. The capper for that scene was when
he asked a black guy "Aren't you ashamed of your self?"
