Just a note, but so far the 4th season hasn't aired in the UK
yet, and thus hasn't yet been censored, so this header is kind of a
misnomer. Also, I have no idea yet what C4 has in mind, and perhaps it
might be a good idea to see what they do, and react to it, rather than
jumping to conclusions based on what they *might* do....

TNT picks up B5 whenever it's done, whether that's 4 or 5 years,
so it doesn't affect us either way.

My only concern on the C4 thing is that, as far as I know,
nothing has been indicated by C4 either way on cuts of any sort, and I
know just enough about TV folks to know that if people act before even
*they* have reached a concensus, and may not in fact be accurate, it
tends to move them in the opposite direction from that desired.
