You know, considering how much I love Babylon 5, how much time I've spent thinking about both its story and its production (in part because of my own interest in filmmaking and television production), how much it quite simply means to me... the fact that I'll never get to read the 15th script book (or most of them, actually) because as a poor student I simply cannot afford to buy them all this quickly... is pretty damn bitter.
Would it be so hard to just keep them available, and make it possible to buy the 15th book?
What about people who discover B5, say, two years from now? Why can't they get a chance at reading this material? What about people from Europe whose mother-in-law doesn't happen to have a credit card? (The only way I can order anything off Cafepress.) B5 has a huge following outside the States - at least give them a chance at finding a way of ordering the bloody books. It ain't easy.
I don't mean to sound aggressive, and I have always tried to support B5 on every level possible, but I just have to say that the way the script books are being handled is extremely unfair to the fans. And I don't think it would be that hard to do things differently.
Rant over. I'll go back to feeling depressed now.
