A little more info than we had

[Jan]

Well, it's not much, but JMS has appeared and at least let us know why we haven't heard about the new B5 universe project yet. And we've now got the standard B5 abbreviation to play with:

It's taken longer than hoped for to be able to talk about this, because it's
taken longer than hoped for to go through all the machinations of the deal.
Depending on the nature of a given deal, it can take a few weeks to a couple,
three months to actually cut the deal and finalize the language in terms
everybody can agree with. We only literally finished the deal last week.

Writing on B5:TMoS is complete, and as soon as the powers that be sign off on
everything, it can be turned in and we can start moving. At that point, I can
say more about this.

Figure another couple of weeks.

TMOS????




WTF is TMOS?!!!!


Tell me!! TELL ME!!!!!!!



Pretty please.

[Kevin]

heh, leave it to the Great Maker to answer one question and leave you with 10 others

[DoctorManbot]

Im taking that as nobody knows....


At least with a working title we could do alllll sorts of erroneous speculation, and then be sorely dissapointed when our theories don't come true.....


I just HATE waiting for the facts.

[Kevin]

B5:TMOS = Babylon 5: Telepath Movie Or Something

[DoctorManbot]

Veeeeerrrrrry Cute.


Ok, in the absence of any hard facts, Im speculating that the tale will be about Londo's mother, and her secret affair with G'kar's father.

[shakiroz]

I think I figured it out!

TMoS means Telepath Movie on Screen!

What do you think?

[Radhil]

The Meaning of Shadows.....

The Mastery of Starlight....

Two Moments of Sanctity.....

Aw, hell... forget it.

(The Meeting of Stars!.... *gets dragged away by mob*)

[Ranger1]

TMoS very interesting..i dont think its the title for whatever its going to be..probably a bogus one,or something like you guys were saying Telepath Movie On Screen as a joke.

[DoctorManbot]

My money is still

"As Centauri Turns.."

[4theone]

tmos?

too much of something? there can never be too much of b5 and this from a newbie

[sixpence]

Well I guess that is how the cookie crumbles...I have been waiting patiently, as have we all for the slightest word on the new Babylon 5 project, and what word do we finally recieve? Please wait a few more weeks or months, and B5: TMoS. Grumble Grumble

Great Thanks to JMS and the Great Maker that there will be continuing adventures in the B5 universe, but man it is tough not to be impatient over what those new adventures might be.

At any rate, to the speculation: TMoS:

- The Movements of Shadows
- The Mantra of Susan (Ivanova)
- Telepathic Manuevers of Silence
- The Meaning of Silence

Oh well, I seriously doubt it! On to the waiting!!!


Salutations!

Best guess I've seen so far:

Much as I am excited to see what the project is, I'm not getting too impatient about it. I mean it's been so long since we had anything substantial of new B5 come along that it's exciting enough just to know it's in the works, giving me plenty of patience to wait to find out what it is.

Of course, B5 in general has improved my sense of patience exponentially... as I'm reminded of the wait I had to endure for the next episode after Point of No Return, Z'Ha'Dum and in *paticular*, Movement of Fire and Shadow. Yes yes, let's blow up Centauri Prime and make you wait 4 months(biggest wait inbetween episodes? I know it was the biggest wait inbetween any cliff-hanger-like episode) to see the rest... so, that being said, in comparision this really isn't that much to wait for at all

[Jan]

Too funny!

Oh...my. This was just posted to the moderated newsgroup a short time ago:

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

There are over 80 posts to that thread. Plus, JMS didn't say that one of the speculators was correct on that newsgroup...there's been a lot of guessing going on today.


Fun day!
