B5… for the people!
Calling all B5 fanatics that read this blog (Dave and Noelle, I’m looking at you):
At last! It’s here!
They said it couldn’t be done. They said it wouldn’t be done. Some even said it probably shouldn’t be done, and certainly not in public, but by gosh, it’s done.
www.babylon5scripts.com is up and running and open for business.
Volume One of The Babylon 5 Scripts of J. Michael Straczynski is now available for purchase, 454 pages in length containing candid, behind-the-scenes photos, and a 13,000 word/53 page introduction and commentary on the episodes contained in this volume.
In this volume, you will find the scripts for “Midnight on the Firing Line,” “The Parliament of Dreams,” “Infection,” “Soul Hunter” and “Mind War,” as well as an alternate draft of “The Gathering” never previously released. The introduction includes information and stories never before told about the creation, production and writing of Babylon 5.
In addition, the volume contains 30 pages of memos written during production, detailing the construction and design of the Babylon 5 universe…casting, sets, alien races, technology, CGI, wardrobe…you name it.
These books, released one-by-one over the coming months, will represent the definitive 15 volume set on the making of Babylon 5, told from the inside-out.
So the door is open, the site is up, feel free to come by and say hello.

The really cool thing is that if you buy the first 14 volumes, you’ll get, for free, the not-sold-in-stores fifteenth volume that includes, among other things, an overview of what the 5-year arc would have looked like if Sinclair had stayed!
