Book excerpt: Table of Contents and Index available FREE at B5books.com.Volume 15 was a free gift to fans from J. Michael Straczynski, and could only be acquired via a proof-of-purchase of Volumes 1 through 14.Every copy of Volume 15 was hand-signed by JMS.FEATURING* The lost script for "Soul Hunter," of which only 5 copies existed before JMS pulled them back, destroyed all but one copy for his files, and wrote a brand new script to replace it...all because it felt too much like a Star Trek script. It also features a comic sub-plot concerning B5 being audited.* Before Babylon 5 had the series commitment, WB wanted to see what a typical episode might look like. So JMS wrote a draft of "And the Sky, Full of Stars," one of the most important first season episodes, that is massively different from what was later produced, including fantasy sequences with Knight Two as the proprieter of a dark carnival of sorts.* The Babylon 5 Writers Bible.* The production draft of "The Gathering" as a companion to the original draft offered in Volume 1.* The outline of the ENTIRE FIVE YEARS with Sinclair still in place, including a brief outline for A POTENTIAL BABYLON 5 SEQUEL SERIES, which would have been entitled BABYLON PRIME.* The nearly-legendary alternate version of the script for "The Exercise of Vital Powers" containing the Londo/G'Kar seduction scene, written in as an elaborate practical joke on the actors.* Joe Cuts, an inventory of every variation (500+ of them) between all 92 JMS scripts and what you've seen on the DVDs. In other words, a script archivist compared every single line of every single script to what is in the episode on DVD, and itemized those differences, line by line, shot by shot, scene by scene.Retired Date: June 30, 2008Discover why Babylon 5 will never be available on Blu-ray at B5news.com.

Book excerpt: Babylon 5 revolutionized genre television. First aired in 1993, the space opera series is highly respected for everything it was trying to achieve on television at a time when Star Trek was king. Its use of story arcs and long-form storytelling in science fiction can be felt in everything from Battlestar Galactica to Lost and The Expanse. Much of its legacy has been about its struggle to survive. From the rivalry with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, to the collapse of the Prime Time Entertainment Network, the cancellation of spin-off series, and the failed big screen attempts--the behind-the-scenes details on Babylon 5 are as fascinating as anything we have on screen. This work explores the complex history of Babylon 5, the career of showrunner J. Michael Straczynski, and the behind-the-scenes drama to stay on the air, with many attempts to continue the franchise. Featuring interviews with cast members from the podcast A Dream Given Form, a lengthy two-part interview with Peter Jurasik (Londo) and a chat with Patricia Tallman (Lyta) and others, this book gives insights into what it was like to be part of Babylon 5, chronicling the show's highs and lows and examining the legacy it left behind in genre television.

Book excerpt: Table of Contents and Index available FREE at B5books.com.SCRIPTS* Endgame* Rising Star* Sleeping in Light* The Deconstruction of Falling Stars* No Compromises* The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari* The Paragon of AnimalsBecause of a last-minute decision to continue telling the story of the making of BABYLON 5 in chronological order, and because "Sleeping in Light" was originally shot at the conclusion of season four, an executive decision was made (translation: we got a call from JMS) that it would be included in this volume.So the seven scripts in Volume 11 contain the replacement season four finale, "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars," the season five debut "No Compromises" AND the ultimate B5 episode, "Sleeping in Light," as well as "Endgame," which saw the birth of the Interstellar Alliance, "The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari", "Rising Star" and "The Paragon of Animals."In addition, and perhaps of greatest importance to those who have been waiting for the inside story on these events to be told in more detail than ever before, a 72-page, 23,000-word introduction from J. Michael Straczynski, which describes everything that happened behind the scenes during the last minute doubts about, the campaigning for, and the final confirmation of a fifth season. Day by day, hour by hour, this introduction takes you right into the center of the action, the maneuvering, and the frantic, last-minute explosions that rocked the B5 universe down to its galactic core.This volume's back cover features another of concept artist Peter Ledger's original Babylon 5 color illustrations - the Babylon 5 station itself.Retired Date: June 30, 2008Discover why Babylon 5 will never be available on Blu-ray at B5news.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beginning of an exciting new adventure that continues the Babylon 5 legacy . . . Bombed to the brink of oblivion, the planet Centauri Prime is starting the slow and painful process of rebuilding, under the watchful eye of Emperor Londo Mollari. But Londo is in turn being watched--and manipulated--by the conquest-hungry Drakh. The malevolent beings are reshaping the Centauri Republic into a secret seat of power from which to strike out at their enemies--especially the Interstellar Alliance. All but helpless to resist, Londo watches as his beloved Homeworld is transformed into a ruthless police state. And the Drakh have willing allies, including one of Londo's own countrymen--Durla, a powerful official with his own sinister agenda. As the abuses of the repressive new Republic escalate, the double-edged Drakh master plan begins to unfold. Their goal is to smash the Interstellar Alliance by assassinating its president, John Sheridan, and to obliterate Earth, using a fabled, monstrous Shadow weapon known as a Planet Killer . . .

Michael Straczynski about each of the TV Movies.* The included version of The Legend of the Rangers is an early draft that is 20 pages longer than the script that was filmed with scenes and exchanges of dialogue that never made it to the screen.* A 3-page fragment of an outline detailing the premise for a Psi Corps feature film. Focusing on The Telepath War, and appropriately titled "Wars of the Mind," JMS's notes reveal the background of the conflict, the identity of the Interstellar Alliance's Vice President and the explosive deaths of two B5 regulars.* The lost tale from The Lost Tales. Did you know that there were originally three lost tales, not two? The middle, unproduced segment featured Michael Garibaldi making a startling discovery on Mars. Only a handful of people involved in the production have ever read this script, but now you can enjoy this "lost" installment.* The original short story on which The Lost Tales segment "Over Here" was based. It's called "The Darkness Between the Stars" and was originally published in the now out-of-print seventh issue of The Book of Dark Wisdom (Fall 2005), and features a different ending than the one that concludes the B5 version.* 36 of J. Michael Straczynski's personal, behind-the-scenes photos taken on the set of The Lost Tales and The Legend of the Rangers, including the last pictures taken of Andreas Katsulas as G'Kar.* Because there are many differences between the scripts and what you see on the DVDs, we've included the "Joe Cuts" Script/DVD Variations inventory, which catalogs all the changes, deletions, and additions that were made as the stories traveled from script to screen. It's all in this handy, easy-to-reference grid, just like the ones in JMS' Volume 15 and the Other Voices series.Retired Date: April 30, 2009Discover why Babylon 5 will never be available on Blu-ray at B5news.com.

Book excerpt: The only comprehensive critical guide to the beloved sci-fi phenomenon A Dream Given Form provides an accessible, comprehensive, and critical look at Babylon 5, one of the most groundbreaking series of all time. Nearly 20 years after the show ended, this indispensable companion not only covers all five seasons of Babylon 5, but also the feature-length TV movies, the spinoff series Crusade (including three non-produced episodes), The Legend of the Rangers, The Lost Tales, the canonical novels, the DC comic book series, and the short stories set in the Babylon 5 universe. Each season and text is explored thoroughly with an in-depth look at how the individual episodes, books, stories, and comics fit into larger ongoing storylines. Carefully constructed to be enjoyed by both those who have watched the series multiple times and viewers watching for the first time, A Dream Given Form elucidates without spoiling and illuminates without nitpicking.
