The Occasional Solipsist

You know that moment *just* prior to orgasm? The one where the blood is pounding so hard in your ears that the only thing it is possible to think about is the expectation of what's coming next? (ooh, good pun!)

Well, I've been having that moment all day, ever since I caught the tail end of a story being reported on Attack of the Show about a rumour recently circulated at this year's Comic Con concerning everyone's my favourite fictional space station: Babylon 5.

The bit that I caught went something like "... and so fans can look forward to new episodes of Babylon 5 in the near future. Now, to the MySpace girl of the day..."

So naturally I have been in a state of perpetual almost ready-to-orgasm ever since. The hands-down best scifi show ever made, and the precursor to ALL good non-trek scifi is going to get new episodes made!

Apparently JMS (Creator of the B5 universe) has been given the green light to produce new anthology-style episodes that would each tell stories of individual characters prior to the events of the series.

I'm guessing that these stories won't be about either Dr. Franklin or G'Kar, what with the actors who played them being dead and all.

Here is the link to the only article I've been able to find confirming the rumour at this point. And if you've got the time read through the comments for a few good laughs courtesy of the B5 haters.
