TMoS - So what was it going to be about???

[Smudger]

Having been out of the picture for a few weeks, I'm gutted to see the death of this project. Has JMS revealed anything about the plotline, or is he holding his cards close to his chest just in case........

I heard something about Jane, the ISN Anchor, going missing, and Sheridan and the crew turning the universe upside down in an effort to find Her. In the end, they find her on Disney Planet and elect Her President of the Universe.

.... or so I heard.

From what I read around the net TMOS was supposed to center around an EA officer named Diane, whose brother was mysteriously killed in an "accident" and she spent a long time looking into just what happened. Galen was supposed to pop up to, joining her on her quest. Also, apparently this not so random EA Major was supposed to invade B5, and Lochley obviously would have been there, possibly helping Diane and Galen.

My theory was that JMS was gonna tell the "Crusade" story (mysterious shadow-like ship) only approaching it from a different angle. I'm guessing that Diane and Galen would've found the base in the un-produced Crusade script "The End of the Line" then went to B5 for refuge, only to be followed there by that Major guy.

Agreed. Remember also, though, that there were clues that there was going to be a diplomatic conference on B5 when this all was happening. The EA major may have been associated with that, and the conference may have allowed the introduction of some of the original charactors.

You are all basing things on the story synopsis that was "leaked" by the suits to manipulate us, the fans.

We now know from Mira and JMS that it was about the full original cast and the other new characters were only additions that spurned the story onward, with the exception of Galen. How big the new characters were in the story is unknown, but the main cast would've all been in the forefront.

Yes, this was going to deal with the CRUSADE story of leftover shadow tech. It is a story that JMS really wants to tell apparently. This story can still be told, but JMS will have to approach it from another angle since the TMoS script isn't his to use any longer unless someone wants to pay for it (which I'm guessing no one wants to do).
