Q:
There seems to be some confusion arising on the UK newsgroup
about which group of the three trilogies will be coming out
next
JMS: My guess
(it's to some extent a matter of how fast they get it done after
I turn in the outlines) is that we'll get the next Psi Corps novel
first, then a Technomage novel, then the final Psi Corps/Bester
novel, then the first Centauri novel, the second Technomage novel,
and after that your guess is as good as mine.

Q:
Asks if the change of network will affect what network shows
Crusade in Canada.
JMS: No, it
should have no impact on that market.
|
|
Q: Suggests
taking Crusade to The WB Network.
JMS: WB
Network is out of the question, due to the way WB is structured.
It's a very long, corporate story, just take my word for it...SFC
is the best option for us.

Q:
Are the authors of the novels on their own with regard to
scientific accuracy?
JMS: No, often
the authors send along questions, those get relayed to us, and in
some cases, as with Keyes first book, they get referred to JPL which
then answers 'em.

Q: Will you
be reverting back to your original plan and air "Racing the Night"
first? I ask since you stated that TNT requested you reshuffle your
story and make an introductory episode, titled "War Zone".
JMS: No,
because the season was structured in such a way as to make
that impossible. You'll understand when you see what was done.

Q:
Have you ever thought of making a novelization of "Sleeping
in Light"? Either writing it yourself or assigning it to another
author?
JMS: No, not
really. Not sure I'd want it done that way. Let the internal thoughts/monologue
stay internal.

Q:
It was said a while back that one of the directors you wanted
to utilize in the production of Crusade was Goran Gajic. Have
you assigned him an episode yet?
JMS: Yes, Goran
has been slated for a Crusade episode.

Q:
One part of it [Crusade rough cut reviews] that caught
my attention is a reference to the shuttle and fighter bays
being pressurized, but having them open to space, the atmosphere
being kept in by a 'magnetic' shield.
JMS: No, there
is a definite (and very large) airlock door that closes after ships
enter the flight deck, so it can then be pressurized.
