Yeah, Warner'll be a great addition to that episode; we may have another
name in connection with that episode shortly.

For those who're interested, Walter Koenig has come through the heart
problem admirably, is up and running around, and will be assaying the main
guest role in "Mind War," which will begin shooting around mid-November.

Re: the industry reactions to B5...everyone seems fairly amazed at what
we're doing, given that our budget is far less than DS9, TNG or SQ. (In
fact, at a recent SQ party, sources tell me, the main topic of discussion was
B5, and how the hell are we managing to pull off what they have heard we're
doing.) One editor at a major entertainment magazine was calling Amblin',
Paramount and other shows to ask about their EFX, and where CGI is going, and
every one said, "You really ought to talk to the people at Babylon 5."

The show is picking up a *lot* of heat in the industry. And for us, it's
kind of a validation of what we said we were going to do years ago.
