Checklist

Hmmmm. Firefly news? Check. Cool new movie news? Check. That just leaves …

Aha! Babylon 5 news.

From the B5JMS List yesterday, a few tidbits:

• New DVD set next year with all of the stray B5 movies, including the pilot, with JMS commentary. (Alas, I fear still with the revised music on the pilot. I prefer the Stewart Copeland soundtrack myself.) My Wish List is adjusted accordingly.
• All of Crusade (a flawed but promising series) also out in a box set.

• Some sort of “eep” secret project about to come to fruition:

  On the B5 front, there has been something of rather substantial proportion that’s finally gone from talk to money, such that I’m now working frantically to meet some deadlines, but there’s nothing I can say about this until after January 15th, probably closer to the end of that month.
  The only thing I can say is that phase one of the new project is a go, hence the furious writing schedule at this end of things […]. I’ve been writing my little brains out.
  I know the immediate result of this will be speculation, but if we could keep that to a low roar on the nets to avoid precluding anything, that would be a wonderfulness. But trust me: I wouldn’t go on about something in this way if it wasn’t a significant development. Just trust me on this one for a bit and hold fire until further word.
  (Longtime followers of the various news groups know that an eep means that something significant has happened, but that I can’t talk about it…the eep is just a way of saying, on the QT, that something has, indeed, happened and it’s real, not just speculation or maybe-gonna-happens. So on that basis, you may consider this an eep.)

  Joe is notorious about not blabbing about things until they are done deals. So one can but wait eagerly.
