Showrunners in the year 2024: I only got 80 mil for the season, so best I can do is eight, thirty-minute episodes. and everything is greenscreen CGI. JMS in 1993: I'm gonna do 22 episode seasons with physical sets and practical effects that'll make you WEEP. and I'm gonna do it for less than you spent on groceries last year.

"The themes of faith and forgiveness were worthy of a theologian. Are you sure there isn't something you'd like to tell us?"
Never shoot pool at a place called Pop's. Never eat food at a place called Mom's. The difference between horses and humans is that they're too smart to be on what *we'll* do.
And I have lost people. Too many people. Lost them to chance, violence, brutality beyond belief; I've seen all the senseless, ignoble acts of "god's noblest creature." And I am incapable of forgiving. My feelings are with G'Kar, hand sliced open, saying of the drops of blood flowing from that open wound, "How do you apologize to them?" "I can't." "Then I cannot forgive."
As an atheist, I believe that all life is unspeakably precious, because it's only here for a brief moment, a flare against the dark, and then it's gone forever. No afterlives, no second chances, no backsies. So there can be nothing crueler than the abuse, destruction or wanton taking of a life. It is a crime no less than burning the Mona Lisa, for there is always just one of each.
So I cannot forgive. Which makes the notion of writing a character who CAN forgive momentarily attractive...because it allows me to explore in great detail something of which I am utterly incapable. I cannot fly, so I would write of birds and starships and kites; I cannot play an instrument, so I would write of composers and dancers; and I cannot forgive, so I would write of priests and monks and minbari....
-- JMS, creator of Babylon 5, in the usenet/GEnie comments

From JMS on Twitter:
Tumblr media
“Folks have been asking what style would be used for the #B5animatedmovie. During the Phoenix Fan Fusion convention, with Warners permission, I showed the first images from the movie seen anywhere. They have now kindly given the go-ahead to post them online as well, so here we go!”

The way JMS used to write Peter & Mary Jane as a married couple during his iconic run on Amazing Spider-Man was always so beautiful and heartwarming, and scenes like this one show exactly why that is (Pervy Wolverine not withstanding…)!

The Road Home rewatch liveblog time!
“All socks are lucky socks. Because at the rate you lose them, you’re lucky to have any at all!”
Delenn: So what are your plans, Mr. President? To go sockless?
(one scene later)
Sheridan: You shouldn’t have challenged me, is all I’m saying.
🤣 Classic JMS, right from the start.
