The Possible Future of Babylon 5

[Jan]

JMS has said that he was processing his grief for the passing of his cat, Buddy when he wrote the part for Zeke. In fact, Soldier was the name of Buddy's dad. I was listening to that part here at work on an afternoon I was alone in the office and was glad that nobody walked in while my eyes were watering....

[Jan]

I'm with you 100%! Loved Zeke and Soldier. Tyler made me cry, too. I'm kind of afraid to listen to that part on the audio version. Wish we'd gotten to know Theo a little better. It's amazing how we end up feeling good at the end, right?...

Fun exchange last night:





From the thread, it seems that last name translates to 'disposable'. Which fits the B5 Encyclopedia entry for that character (written by JMS) nicely!...

[Jan]

Sync-up commentary for Sense8 episode 2, 'I Am Also A W' is now on JMS' Patreon. Also some more information on the re-ordering for the tiers....

[Jan]

You can go an look at the current levels BUT JMS is re-vamping things soon-ish in conjunction with the Dangerous Visions tier going away so you may want to wait for now....

[Jan]

So JMS Tweted an interesting tease last night:



And weekend before last Boxleitner and Christian pointed to photos of themselves along with Mumy, Jurasik and Tallman at a dinner and said they weren't supposed to say anything but that there was a reason for that dinner.

Not strictly JMS, but related. In honor of the 20th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, Marvel has done a follow-up to the Amazing Spider-Man issue done by JMS and John Romita Jr. - this time written by Joe Quesada but still illustrated by JRJR.. This issue is free and ASM #36 is $1.99:

The photo they referred to was back at the end of June where there were a number of pictures posted of Jurasik, Mumy, Tallman, Christian and Boxleitner at a dinner together. I was trying to explain that to some of the folks in the chat section who were confused but the event broke off before I could...

[Jan]

First issue is out now. Anybody else reading it?...

[Jan]

Folks who might not have read JMS' Spider-Man #36 or who would just like a digital copy: The issue is on sale at Comixology for just $1.99:

"Didn't you hear me a moment ago, Captain? I told you where this comes from. Now if you've got a problem, I suggest you try to see this as an opportunity, not a burden."...

[Jan]

And an interesting exchange between JMS and set designer John Iacovelli on FB last night also.
...

[Jan]

Well, he did say in a recent podcast that he's doing a ton of television lately.
...

[Jan]

Yeah, sorry I wasn't more clear. Sadly I can't find anything of an a la carte nature....

Alas, at $348 pounds, it doesn't look like I'll be able to tune in.
