Thanks. The Hugo is a marvelous reward to everyone who's worked
so hard on the show these last 3+ years. We're very proud.

What's interesting, in noting the number of votes in the
nominations, is that if we hadn't withdrawn the second Hugo nominated
B5 episode, "The Fall of Night," DS9 wouldn't have had a nomination at
all. They moved into the nominations when we withdrew "FoN."

I don't know offhand; my guess is that it was #5 in the overall
nominations list, because (I understand) they had to jump past #6 (The
Long, Twilight Struggle) to get to #7 (the DS9 episode) to find a
non-B5 candidate for the nominations list. So we had 3 out of the top
6, and apparently two more B5 episodes were high up on the list, I
think in the top 10.
