Matt, I have never considered that your motives have ever been other than the well being of Babylon 5. In that respect, we are alike. One thing to remember is that B5 has developed a very hard-won reputation for square dealing, and for taking care of those viewers who have chosen to support us. This comes from the executive producer's office. On anything that uses the B5 name, or which is connected to B5, we take great pains to make sure everything's on the up and up, that when merchandise goes out, or deals are made, it is done straight-up, done properly, and the quality is assured. Anytime anyone buys anything or supports anything involving B5, they have to *know* that it went through my hands, that it's been checked out, vetted, and approved not by aides but by the people who make the show. Sometimes that's a pain in the ass, but it's the only way of protecting the fans in the long run, and the only way I know how to make this show. jms |
