A look at the competition

Frankly, I really don't see that DSV is in competition with B5, any
more than, say, "Northern Exposure" is in competition with "Picket
Fences." They're different shows, on at different times. Were they on
on head-to-head, that'd be different.

That said, my two cents worth, re: "Seaquest" and "Lois and Clark,"
hated it, loved them.

It's my understanding that B5 will be airing in most markets at 8:00
p.m. Wednesday nights, replacing Trax, starting around the second week of
January.

The issue of Teen Titans Spotlight was a *lot* of fun to write; I've
always found the character of Two Face interesting, and realized that no
one had ever put that character together with cyborg, who also has a
similar face and resultant problem...except he took a very different path.
I find that writing comics is *much* more difficult that writing TV,
because you have to compensate for the fact that the pictures don't move.
Frankly, some of the most imaginative scriptwriting I see these days in
in comics, from Ostrander and Gaiman and Moore and Morrison and others.
