JEREMIAH: Good news! There is a blurb about the return of JEREMIAH in this week's MGM Newsletter. It does not give a specific date for the return, but I would hope the inclusion of the show in the newsletter indicates it will be coming back very soon. So stay tuned. The JEREMIAH website at http://www.jeremiah.tv/ has been updated as well. There's a new banner that includes Sean Astin.

INDIANA JONES 4: According to Empire Online, Sean Connery has indicated that Steven Spielberg may drop out of the proposed fourth Indiana Jones film. Connery was on a press junket promoting his upcoming LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN when he said, "All I know is that someone called the office and said that Steven was not doing the movie." When asked about Harrison Ford and his own involvement with the film, Connery added, "Harrison [Ford] had in fact verbally agreed to do another one, and would I be interested? And I said of course I would. I had a very good experience with him. [I was] disappointed to hear that Steven wouldn't be doing it, but in the end it all comes down to how good the script is, if it's really workable."

SCIFI RATINGS: THe SCI FI Channel had it's best ratings second quarter ever. They finished in the top 10 of all non-news cable networks in key demographics.

The network reported its best June ever, with a 1.0 prime-time average rating (787,000 households and 1.07 million viewers), an 11 percent increase over the same month a year ago. Second-quarter ratings average a 0.9 household rating (728,000 households and 994,000 viewers). The channel's SCI FI Fridays block of original programming made it the highest-rated network on all basic cable for the night among males 25-54.

LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN: One of my most anticipated movies of the summer is LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN. I love Sean Connery -- and he just gets better and better. I hope you have been catching the teasers on TV about the movie. Wondering if it's good or not? Over at http://www.aint-it-cool-news.com/display.cgi?id=15569 you'll find some reviews. Over at http://www.darkhorizons.com/2003/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen.htm you'll find a bunch of delicious pictures and teasers. I love that car!

STRIPPERELLA: TNN has a new original series that they are ecstatic about. The two-hour animated premiere episode last Thursday at 10pm was the highest-rated network premiere ever, with over two million viewers. The series from legendary Stan Lee, features the voice of actress Pamela Anderson for an exotic dancer who takes on superhero duties after getting off from work. Stripperella aired at 11pm, after the thirty-minute debuts of Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon and Gary the Rat, the lawyer toon starring the voice of Kelsey Grammer.

STAR TREK SUIT: Activision Inc. has terminated its "Star Trek" licensing agreement with Viacom Inc. and sued the conglomerate for allegedly neglecting the franchise to a degree that Activision can no longer develop video games from it. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Activision is seeking unspecified damages for breach of contract, claiming that Viacom has failed to consistently develop new movies and television series from the 37-year-old franchise. "Viacom recently confirmed what Activision feared most: Viacom has now decided to put the 'Star Trek' franchise 'on ice' ... and Viacom has no plans to make another 'Star Trek' movie," according to Activision's complaint, filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court. Viacom sources said they plan to continue the "Star Trek" movie franchise and support the current TV series, "Enterprise," which will enter its third season on UPN in the fall. Activision also accused Viacom of refusing to help it develop a game based on "Star Trek: Nemesis" and providing crucial information on plot, characters and spaceships only shortly before the movie's release.

VIDEO GAMES AND SCIENCE FICTION: Ranger Nick reports that a new XBOX game is coming out entitled, "Advent Rising." The game developer hired SCI-Fi Writer, "Orson Scott Card" to write the story line for it. Card wrote "Ender's Game" (and is Carrid Dobro's favorite author).

THE HULK: Author Peter David is a lot of things -- to a lot of people. For Babylon 5 fans, he wrote the "Soul Mates" episode, the novelizations for IN THE BEGINNING and THIRDSPACE. To Star Trek fans, many consider IMZADI the best Trek novel ever written. For others, he's THE HULK guy. Peter has done another fine job of bringing THE HULK movie to the printed page. Over at Cinescape, they describe the book in this way, "His novel version of the gamma-irradiated dog scene is a stunning as the film’s version."

BROTHERS GRIMM: Principal photography began yesterday on BROTHERS GRIMM in Prague, in the Czech Republic. The $75 million dollar fantasy/adventure film stars Matt Damon, Heath Ledger, Jonathan Pryce, Peter Stormare and Lena Heady. The picture is being directed by Terry Gilliam and anticipated for a 2004 release. Robin Williams was to have played one of the two evil-doers opposing the youthful brothers but it appears Williams has dropped out of the film.

SPIDER-MAN: With filming still underway, word comes from Variety that a trailer for SPIDERMAN 2 will be out in November. The November trailer will be timed to capitalize on the holiday movie season, less than seven months before the summer release.

TERMINATOR 3: Storyboards for TERMINATOR 3 are now available for your viewing pleasure. If you like to see how things are put together in the movie world, this is a great glimpse at how things are mapped out before they are filmed. The film opens tomorrow.

JAMES BOND: EVERYTHING OR NOTHING: Electronic Arts is working on a new 007 video game. Pierce Brosnan and the cast from James Bond films will voice their characters in JAMES BOND 007: EVERYTHING OR NOTHING. Voices will include Brosnan, as Bond, John Cleese as Q, Dame Judi Dench as M and Richard Kiel as legendary henchman Jaws. New cast members will include Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man) as Bond's new nemesis, Nikolai Diavolo; Shannon Elizabeth as new Bond girl Serena St. Germaine; and Heidi Klum as the malevolent Katya Nadanova. All cast members will provide their likenesses for their game counterparts through EA's electronic "cyberscanning" process, the company said. Veteran Bond screenwriter Bruce Feirstein wrote the script for the game, which offers gamers missions that span exotic locales in four continents, in a third-person view that showcases the Hollywood cast playing out a real-time cinematic action adventure. The video game is scheduled for release this fall for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube and Game Boy Advance.

COLD CASE: Shaun Cassidy has come a LONG way since his Hardy Boys days. The Hollywood Reporter indicates that now writer-producer Shaun Cassidy has inked a two-year deal with Warner Bros. TV. Under the seven-figure pact, Cassidy will serve as an executive producer on the studio's new Jerry Bruckheimer/Meredith Stiehm drama series for CBS COLD CASE and will develop new projects. Set to air on Sunday nights at 8 p.m., COLD CASE stars Kathryn Morris as a Philadelphia detective investigating old, unsolved crimes.

Monday, June 30:
KATHERINE HEPBURN: Katharine Hepburn, an icon of feminist strength and spirit who brought a chiseled beauty and bearing to such films as "The Philadelphia Story" and "The African Queen," died Sunday. She was 96 years old and had been in declining health in recent years. The four-time Oscar winning actress was the 20th century's most celebrated screen actress and an enduring role model for generations of women.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Sony's "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" opened this weekend to an estimated $38 million in receipts. Universal's "The Hulk" took a huge 70% drop from it's first week, taking in an estimated $18.4 million and placing second. The picture nevertheless has crossed the $100 million mark in 10 days, the 10th release this year to do so. Buena Vista's "Finding Nemo" seems to keep finding more business as the Pixar film netted an estimated $13.9 million in its fifth weekend to take third, slipping 34% -- the second best hold in the top 10. "Nemo" has brought in an estimated $253.9 million, topping "Toy Story 2" ($245.8 million) and with the expectation that it will surpass "Monsters, Inc." ($255.9 million) in the next few days to become the highest grossing Pixar film ever. Fox Searchlight's "28 Days Later" had a stellar opening in fourth as the sci-fi horror film from director Danny Boyle, about a virus that turns most of the world's population into raging zombies, debuted in 1,260 theaters and grossed an estimated $9.7 million. The film in the top 10 that had the best hold was Paramount's "The Italian Job," which slipped 25% as it grossed an estimated $5.4 million to place seventh, moving its cume to roughly $76.7 million.

During a webcast from London's Royal Albert Hall on June 26, Rowling answered one boy in Sydney, who asked if she would write any stories about Harry as an adult: "You have to wait and see if he survives to be a grownup. I don't want to give anything away at the moment." Rowling also confessed, "I don't believe in magic in the way that it appears in the books. I would want to believe in it, but I cannot." Rowling's latest book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, came out June 21 and has broken sales records around the globe.

DA VINCI CODE: Dan Brown's DA VINCI CODE has been on the top 10 SF book listing for months.

August is going back to the Edgar Rice Burrough's version of TARZAN. "He's more ferocious and wild, like Wolverine without the claws. That's the version we want to use," August told Variety.

WHAT'S ON TONIGHT

8:00 PM on AMC
Planet of the Apes
Franklin J. Schaffner (“Patton”) directed this 1968 science fiction classic, which spawned four sequels and a short-lived TV series. Charlton Heston plays George Taylor, an astronaut who crash-lands on a planet where humans are mute savages who are despised, preyed upon and enslaved by a race of civilized apes. Rod Serling and Michael Wilson adapted the script from a novel by Pierre Boulle. John Chambers' monkey makeup won a special Oscar. Cornelius: Roddy McDowell. Zira: Kim Hunter. Dr. Zaius: Maurice Evans. Nova: Linda Harrison.

An American Werewolf in Paris
Tom Everett Scott and Julie Delpy are star-crossed lovers in this sequel to 1981's “An American Werewolf in London.” The 1997 film, which lacks the comic bite of the original, revolves around several testosterone- fueled undergrads who have been performing daredevil stunts as they bum around Europe. When they land in Paris and are preparing to bungee jump from the Eiffel Tower, one student, Andy (Scott), spies a svelte, suicidal Parisian (Delpy) and heroically stops her from leaping to her death. A romantic relationship develops, but Andy is horrified when he discovers that there is more to this Gallic gal than perfume and pinafores.

The Patriot on TBS
Mel Gibson's bravura performance sparks this rousing Revolutionary War epic, set in 1776 South Carolina. Gibson plays pacifist farmer Benjamin Martin, a battle-weary veteran of the French and Indian War. Although he cautions his fellow colonists to seek an “alternative to war” against the British, his headstrong eldest son, Gabriel (Heath Ledger), enlists, is captured and sentenced to be hanged as a spy. Then a British officer (Jason Isaacs) guns down Martin's 15-year-old son in cold blood, and the aggrieved father enters the fight with a vengeance. Roland Emmerich (“Independence Day”) directed the 2000 film.

On SciFi Tonight:

8:00 PM
Twilight Zone
No Time like the Past
Dana Andrews plays a scientist who goes back in time seeking to alter disasters in history.

9:00 PM
Twilight Zone
Of Late I Think of Cliffordville
Julie Newmar is the devil dealing with a bored tycoon (Albert Salmi) who exchanges his fortune for a trip to the past and a new start. But he should have been more specific.

10:00 PM
Twilight Zone
The Bard
Jack Weston plays an aspiring TV writer as Rod Serling wittily bites the hand that feeds him in “The Bard” (originally telecast May 23, 1963). Weston is Julius Moomer, whose enthusiasm far outweighs his talent. While researching a script about black magic, Julius inadvertently conjures up William Shakespeare (John Williams), whom he enlists to write a teleplay. The story sells, and Julius becomes an instant celebrity. But “Will,” as Julius calls him, fumes at Julius for taking all the credit, and he visits the rehearsal to see if his tale as he wrote it is to be or not to be. Burt Reynolds plays method actor Rocky Rhodes, who also rubs the Bard the wrong way.

11:00 PM
Twilight Zone
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet
'Tis a dark and stormy night as salesman Bob Wilson (William Shatner) is flying home from a six-month stay at a sanitarium following a nervous breakdown. In his “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” he sees a creature on the wing, apparently trying to sabotage one of the engines. But when anyone else takes a look, it disappears. Wilson is convinced it's up to him to stop the creature. This was Shatner's second appearance on the anthology, and the 16th and final script written by, or from a story by, Richard Matheson, who praised Shatner's performance as “marvelous,” but was unhappy with the creature's “panda bear” look.

FAN FILM CONTEST

Buddy and B5 music video creator John Hudgens has entered another fabulous film in the competition for the Star Wars FanFilm Awards 2003 sponsored by Lucasfilm. Here's John's description of his entry:

The Jedi Hunter
Directed by John E. Hudgens

The Jedi Hunter uses a sharp two pronged stick to poke fun at both the Star Wars universe and the The Crocodile Hunter TV show. In this thrilling episode, Boba Fett dons his bounty hunter gear as he canvasses the galaxy, hunting Jedi in their natural habitat. Crikey! There's some feisty ones out there!

Go to http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/af/content/jedi_hunter to see John's entry. Be sure to watch the other entries and cast your vote! On-line voting ends July 7th, and the winners will be announced at the San Diego ComicCon International in July. The grand prize is being picked by George Lucas himself as his favorite fanfilm... and that winner and another (they call it the Skywalker Sound Award) will get a visit to the Skywalker Ranch for an audio-production session with a Skywalker Sound engineer.

RISING STARS

JMS has pointed everyone over to http://www.comicbookresources.com/columns/?column=13 for an answer to the burning question, Where is Rising Stars?

While JMS' note above listed a particular column at Comic Book Resources, that page reference has changed. To read what is going on between JMS and Top Cow, go to http://www.comicbookresources.com/columns/index.cgi?column=litg&article=1670..

A number of readers have asked about JMS' comic book series, RISING STARS. It has been quite a while since the last issue came out and they were wondering when they might expect to see the next one. JMS was asked this question in the B5 moderated newsgroup not long ago. His response was:

June 3: That depends entirely on a situation with Top Cow that is in need of resolution. The delay in writing has not been a delay in writing; it's been working through some problems with Top Cow for the last...almost year now. The final issues won't be turned in until those issues are resolved.

SCI-FI TALK

JEREMIAH

Here is the blurb from the MGM Newsletter that arrived this morning. Not a lot of information in it, but it's good to see it finally arrive.

Jeremiah returns this summer for its second season on Showtime.
Luke Perry and Malcolm-Jamal Warner star as two drifters living in a post-apocalyptic world. Joining the cast for the new season is Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings) playing Mr. Smith, a man with a very unique gift.

Fans of this JMS show have been wondering when it will return to the Showtime line-up. JMS responded to a question in the B5 moderated newsgroup that gives a bit more information than previously available:

"The season finale aired July 19, 2002, so it's less than one year since the season ended. Last I heard the show was going to run starting the first week in September so that it could conclude with the last four shows in November sweeps."

There are a couple of places where you can find information on JEREMIAH. Monica has a very up-to-date site at http://abyss.hubbe.net/jeremiah/. She has a newsletter that you can sign up for as well so that information comes into your mailbox on a regular basis. The "official" website is located at http://sho.com/jeremiah/. It isn't terribly timely, but it does have background about the show if you need it.

NEW BABYLON 5 RPG

Ranger Jason has filed the following report that will be some interest to you:

Mongoose Publishing recently received the B5 Licence to do a d20 style game in the B5 Universe. The main book and supplements will start rolling out very soon (next 3 weeks).

They published a sneak peak booklet at http://www.vita.clara.net/b5preview.pdf which has tons of useful B5 stuff including a diagram of the station, and a near comprehensive map of the B5 Universe.

We need B5 Fans to support this because unless JMS releases another series or book, this will be the only new B5-feel product for some time.

Mongoose's site can be reached here http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/.

That is well below what I've seen on e-bay and about $30.00 less than Suncoast Video Stores. Gary also reports that they have a huge supply of the latest BUFFY DVD.

Ranger Donita has a tip for those wanting to purchase DVDs here in the U.S.
The cheapest place to get B5 Season 1 and 2 is Playcentric. I paid $59 for season 1 and $60 for season 2. Also to get the cheapest price on all DVDs I recommend using Bargainflix.com, for those of us in the US. All you have to do is to type in the name of the DVD, or actor, or director, and they will show you the price comparison. Great for those of us who like to support our favorite sci-fi shows and movies by buying the DVD.

Ranger Dave sent along this report on purchasing the Season Two DVD in the UK: " I picked up the Season 2 DVD of B5 at MVC for £5 less than most other people are selling it - including Amazon.co.UK or Play.com. If you become a card member (it is free, hardly a hassle and takes a moment) you can get the set for £37.99 where as most others are selling it at £42.99 - just a handy saving tip."

Ranger Manuela has a bargain to match Dave's -- in Germany. Here is here report:

Got one like that for German readers: avides.com (despite the url, they're located in Lower-Saxony here) are selling season two for 39,95 Eur. It's got English and German on the dvds, so perfectly fine. :-)

DISCUSSION TOPIC

I know a lot of you have read science fiction material extensively -- and others have watched a LOT of TV and movies. When you look back, what is your BEST science fiction image? For me, it's Rocky Jones, Space Ranger! I loved that show. It captured my imagination and brought me into the world of science fiction. There's also Ray Harryhausen's cyclops in SINBAD. That got me interested in movie magic! How about you? What do you remember best about science fiction?

Send in your comments to sgbruckner@aol.com. I'll post the responses on the Discussion Page for everyone to share.

BABYLON 5 CHRONOLOGY

I've put up another wonderful segment of the Babylon 5 Chronology. This segment begins with 2256 and runs through2258 . Go to 2256 .

This chronology continues to be a source of information for a great number of people -- including JMS. Terry Jones has done the B5 community a great service in pulling this chronology together. It is a tremendous resource. THANKS TERRY!

KEEPING UP WITH CAST AND CREW

http://www.mgm.com/shespies/main.html. I didn't see anything about Bruce on the page, so that may follow as the site is updated.

MIRA FURLAN: Ranger Moya sends in this report on Mira's activities:
Mira is currently in Belgrade shooting a new movie called "Disi duboko" co-starring Bogdan Diklic, a charming actor who she's worked with in numerous other films. He was Pipo in "In the Jaws of Life" which is one of the few of Mira's movies available in North America *with* English subtitles. From there she's going back to Istria to reprise her Medea role of last summer for 5 performances July 11th through 15th.

MELISSA GILBERT: The Hollywood Reporter indicates that Robin Givens has joined Farrah Fawcett and Melissa Gilbert in CBS' telefilm HOLLYWOOD WIVES: THE NEXT GENERATION, based on Jackie Collins' best-selling novel. The project, from Patriarch Pictures, centers on a Hollywood superstar (Fawcett) who, fed up with her fourth husband's cheating, hires a private investigator. Givens and Gilbert play the star's best friends, a sultry soul singer and an actress married to a powerful Hollywood director, respectively. Filming of the telepic, based on a script by Nicole Avril, is scheduled to begin next month with Joyce Chopra directing. Collins, Tom Patricia and Renee Valente are executive producing.

ROBIN ATKIN DOWNES: Robin has been pretty active over the last few months. He will be turning up in conventions over the summer in Cleveland, Tampa, Indiana, England, France, Prague, Atlanta and Orange County. You will also see him in some advertisements on the tube as well. For example, beginning this summer, he will be the Irish announcer in the Sprint Yellow Pages on Golf Spot. He also plays a Russian Basketball player in love with a chicken for Dairy Queen. That spot is scheduled to run nationally beginning in September. He has done some CD ROM work as well for gamers, including BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. He plays the lead pilot, Adama. The game is coming to game cube.

TRADING CARD HELP

Ranger Tia sent along this note to share with B5 card collectors:

Don't know if you've heard of my card program yet or not, but I thought the other B5 card collectors might like to try it out. With having almost all of the B5 trading cards and CCG cards available and no program to keep track of them withm, I started writing my own. Here's the website for it. Go half way down and click on the small screen shot for a full size screen shot. I have the pic of Pat Tallman's card from the Profiles card set feautured in the shot.

Oh, and I also have a lot of the card lists already saved as files so people won't need to type in all the card names. Being written by a B5 fan, ALL the card lists have already been made and are downloadable. :)

32 pages, $2.99, in stores on Sept. 3.

SUPREME POWER

Joe Quesada talks about SUPREME POWER at Wizard World East. See the excerpt over at http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0306/05/index.htm.

Here is an update from JMS on SUPREME POWER:

Just an FYI for those who've been keeping an eye on this one...on August 6, Supreme Power will hit the stands, with pre-orders being taken now at comics stores. Up until now, I'd always felt that Midnight Nation was the best thing I'd ever managed to pull off in comics. (I enjoy the heck out of writing Spidey, but there's just something about Midnight Nation that won't let me go.)
Supreme Power may, I finally think, supplant that one.
There's something going in in Supreme Power, a strong emotional core, that pulls me in every time I sit down to write it. It's got an edge, it's profoundly sad in places, and weirdly funny in other places. Some elements are bound to be a bit controversial, but that's part and parcel of telling this particular story. Emotions are, for me, the whole point of telling a story, and those who've read and reviewed Midnight Nation as it slowly revealed itself know what I'm talking about.
Not coincidentally, Gary Frank is doing the art, who also did the art on Midnight Nation. So that may also be a part of it. The art is just stunning, especially the way he captures the emotion of the characters in their eyes.
Given the reactions of some folks who've seen the black and whites proofs of the first issue, I think this is going to move out pretty fast, and Marvel for the most part doesn't reprint issues, so if it ain't ordered in advance, it might not be available until the gather it together for the trade.
Anyway...I don't want to belabor the point. I don't generally come on to promote something unless I feel strongly about it, and this one I *definitely* feel strongly about.
I'm inestimably proud of this book, and I hope you'll check it out.
From Previews magazine:

CSI: BAD RAP

IDW Publishing will launch its next series of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation comic books, entitled Bad Rap, in August. IDW will return the creative team of writer Max Allan Collins and artists Gabriel Rodriguez and Ashley Wood. The publisher describes the series:

"Bad Rap injects the CSI team into the world of gangsta rap and murder. Murder is something they know well; rap is one they will soon learn. When famous and volatile rapper Busta Kapp is found dead in his limo, the suspects are many. It seems that Busta had as many enemies as he had gold chains, and when things go from Bling Bling to bang bang, the CSI team will have to separate the blood from the gold."

Also in August, IDW Publishing will collect their original 5-issue CSI mini-series, CSI: Crime Investigation--Serial. In addition to the story, the trade paperback features an exclusive introduction by CSI TV series creator Anthony E. Zuiker, never before seen story pages, and a new three-page story by Collins and Woods.

BOOKS

BABYLON 5 NOVEL

DelRey is reprinting the original Babylon 5 novels. They started with #7 - Jeanne Cavelos' THE SHADOW WITHIN. Here's one I've been waiting for -- Kathryn Drennan's TO DREAM IN THE CITY OF SORROWS. The release date is scheduled for July 29, 2003. I love the new cover art! It can be pre-ordered from www.amazon.com. For those of you who love Babylon 5, this one reads just like an episode from the series. You just can't put it down.

SCI FI PUBLICATIONS

Cult Times Special #26: Immortals are the subject of this issue. There have been a number in science fiction history and whether they are people who just won't die -- or images that live on and on, it is an interesting premise to explore. Also in this issue, Richard Dean Anderson joins fellow producers Robert C. Cooper, Michael Greenburg and Brad Wright in discussing STARGATE SG-1; Ben Browder looks at the last days of FARSCAPE and JJ Abrams discusses the changes ahead for ALIAS.

TV Zone #164: The big attraction for this issue will be JMS's look at Season Two of Babylon 5. Also included are interviews with James Marsters (Spike), Carlos Bernard from 24, and a look at what TV Zone readers feel is The Best Cult Television Program Ever.

Expose Special#77 Expose Special #77: This special issue is a review of 2002. With Harry Potter #2, Lord of the Rings and Terminator 3, they also look at Star Trek: Nemesis, FIREFLY, Buffy and Dinotopia.

Starburst #298: ANGEL's new season is the focus of the issue. David Boreanaz talks about what makes the show so special to him. Also in this issue, a behind the scenes look at MATRIX RELOADED. Another show with changes ahead is SMALLVILLE. Alfred Gough and Miles Millar talk about what is in store for the next season.

MAIL FOR CAST AND CREW

Here's a recent note from JMS on the subject:

Just an FYI to those who've been using the Ventura Blvd. mail drop for fan mail to actors....

As mentioned before, we're phasing out the forwarding of fan mail because we a) don't have the resources, complicated by b) the actors have scattered to the four winds, and it makes it very difficult to get everything to everybody in a timely fashion.

So, having provided prior notice...fan mail to actors coming to the Ventura Blvd. mail drop will be sent back. Mail to actors should be sent via their official fan clubs. I will still be taking mail there, since it's my mailbox, but that's it.

Just so's y'all know and save a few bucks on postage and returns.
