I've been ploughing through these DVDs since Christmas. A roller coaster of 110 some hours over three months, instead of 110 hours over 5 years. I figured I would be a wreck from the slaloming, but I've managed to keep it all together...

...at least It hought so.

I'm watching Objects at Rest, and I nearly lost it when Lochley (and everyone else) saluted Sheridan as he left Babylon 5 for the last time. And that's not even the Big Goodbye.

I can only hope I'm a quarter of the writer JMS is, and my characters are a quarter of B5's characters.

I'm about to watch Sleeping in Light for the first time since I saw it 1998, off the air. I've got Kleenex sitting here...I hope there's enough. Cause I'm about to become a wreck.

In a good way. :)

Next time I see you I need to lend you the Spiderman graphic novel I have with JMS writing! Its amazing, it has the 9/11 issue he did which was just amazing and so well done!

I met JMS briefly at Aussiecon III in 1999 where he was a GOH.

He gave a guest speech which featured a gag he'd played on the actor who played G'Kar. He left a bogus script lying around which suggested that G'Kar would change sex for the rest of the series. Initially Andreas Katsulas was quite perturbed by the idea, then he took it seriously and was prepared to rise to the challenge. Some of the crew would come up to JMS and say "Hey, we have friends who've done this - we're just glad that some one's writing about it". A few days before they were due to shoot the script, he revealed the hoax to the actor and crew.

Ho ho, very funny. I walked down after the talk and waited, and then quietly suggested that he should have written a script like that, and promptly walked away. He may write well, but his humour sucks.


Actually, that was the con that I finally met organised queer fandom as well. But it was too late, and that was the last SF con I ever went to.
