B5 was *never*, ever, at any time, pitched on the nets, or even discussed on the nets, while it was in development. Not even the name was ever said. So I don't know where this particular myth has come from. The first time I ever started talking about B5 (except in an offhand reference in a Starlog article) on the nets was about November 1991, when we'd finally been given the go-ahead for production on the pilot movie, but couldn't officially talk about it until WB announced it. During that time, I only described it as "That Which Cannot Be Named" (TWCBN for short) on GEnie. jms |
