Possible new script team item?

[nottenst]

I was rereading the intro to In the Shadow of Z'Ha'Dum -- JMS talks about something that would be nice to see:

... a series of notes I'd written over the preceding years in fleshing out the whole philosophy of Babylon 5... the beliefs of our various alien races, the changes in human evolution, other changes in home-grown beliefs, and our exploration of space. Eventually, those notes would come to several hundred pages in length, and from those pages came many of the more philosophical speeches from Delenn, G'Kar and others. I've debated over the years whether or not to ever release that material...and I'm still debating it.

Could this be one of the possible upcoming items to see in the future?

It sounds like the book of JMS. Foundationism here we come.

Jaclyn mentioned some new project that was sort of chronological, but I got the sense it is more of a continuous narative, maybe it will be included in that.

The last time I know of that JMS was asked about the Foundation document, he replied that he was still thinking about it. Naturally, he's wary of, as one fan put it, being 'Elronned'.

Having seen the 'Never Surrender Dreams' page that was up for some time, I'd *very* much like to see the full Foundation document.

Is this the book scheduled for the first quarter that you mean? What she said is that it will be a companion book to the Chrolonolgy. I know for sure that the Foundation document wouldn't be a good fit with that book.

Thank you for clearing that up, without actually giving any real information. You must have studied hard at temple. I'm just sort of stumped about what this upcoming book could be about.

Honestly, I didn't even know about a Foundation document. When jms was quoted earlier in this thread about comparing different religions, foundationism came to mind.

<bows> Thanks. I do what I can. Though I'm wondering myself what a "Chrolonolgy" book is!

I'm hoping that Jaclyn puts the NSD page back up again at some point even if the NSD merchandise is gone. IMO, it should be required reading by everybody, especially every parent.

Probably. Something has to further push off the Crusade scriptbooks.

KoshN - Watching the pot, waiting for water to boil. <Walks away muttering> "By the time they come out, I'll probably be 100, have Altzheimers and will have forgotten what the Hell I was waiting for."

And you'll start liking the bellhop uniforms too....

Mathison looked pretty cute in those uniforms. Of course, he had a nice butt, so that helps.

Didn't mind the grey/red uniforms at all, or notice the similarity, until they made fun of them in AaOD.

I think that should be the standard uniform and be required wear at TNT (especially Atlanta) for all TNT dolts, including Ted Turner, ....the dolts who took part in Crusade's destruction should be tarred and feathered. That, I'd pay to see.
