"Crusade" Spinoff?

 Posted on 12/31/1996 by B <71513.2510@compuserve.com> to CIS


I just read about your as yet fully formed concept of a B5 spinoff
involving the rangers. I would like to know some of your specific ideas
regarding this proposal. 1. Does the story take place before, during,
or after the 5 year B5 arc? 2. What characters, assuming you
can sign up the actors, would be involved?-Dellen, Marcus, Lanier,
Sinclair ?

It would take place after the main B5 arc. As for specifics on
cast, nothing can be said until things get closer to being nailed down;
there's still a lot that can change on this, and it's a question of
what works best for the show, and who wants to move on, and other
aspects.

It sure sounds like Claudia is with you if you want her there.

I was encouraged by how happy she is not only to be
with this show, but *why* she's glad to be with it, and her high praise
for you and your ability was beyond reproach. Quite frankly, she may
have even gotten some people within your industry a bit hot under the
collar by what she said, which delights me to no end. However, it may
not be in her best interest to do such things unless she's real
confident in her ability as an actress and is not worried about
politics standing in the way of her career.

Claudia is notoriously fearless. Actually, that applies to most
of our cast, which is fun. If you see interviews with our cast,
they're right out there on the edge, being outrageous...because that's
who and what they are.

I tell ya, I really loved it! <g> It came right near the very
end of the article and it was the last thing I expected to see. :)
Go Claudia!! <bg>
