Showtime seems to have killed the show.
JMS has left the show, so any future seasons would not be nearly as good.

I wish I didn't have to wait until the fall for the rest, but what can you do? LOL!

1.] Who is JMS??
2.] I have talked directly to showtime, bunch of rude and obnoxious bastards with attitudes. The guy I was trying to get information from as to when the series would be starting back up acted like he had much better things to do then find out for me when a TV show was coming on. Granted it is only a TV show and it seems petty but excuse me....

I know I have the number to call for anybody interested but I just can't find it right now.

1) J. Michael Straczynski is the writer. He has worked on Babylon 5, Crusade, the Babylon 5 sequal series The Legend of the Rangers, Murder she wrote (we all have to start somewhere!).
He owns the comic Rising Star, which is being (has been?) adapted as a screenplay. He also wrote The amazing spider man for Marvel comics.
He has written a book, The complete book of scriptwriting, as well as being involved in lots of other things.

2) Duh. Why should they be polite to you, a mere mortal when they are so much above you. After all they answer the phones at Showtime. This puts them on the same level as God. (Sad thing is they probably actually believe this)

3) At least you got to see some of series 2. I live in the UK where series 1 bombed. They don't even intend to repeat series 1 let alone show series 2! I guess I shall have to save up and import the Dvd's. What is worse, I had to go out the night the last episode of series 1 was showing so I set the video recorder. Fifteen minutes into the episode we had a power cut!!!!!!

4) Don't hold your breath over the August showing of the second half. Showtime is infamous for abandoning its sci-fi shows.

Rising Stars, his Image comic, is about two or three issues from finishing, due to a major dispute. The comic has indeed been optioned for a movie, which will (it seems) have little resembalance to the comice JMS wrote - they had the script re-written behind his back, and he withheld the final few scripts for the comic until he got an apology.

He is doing a similar story with Supreme Power - which is really interesting stuff (its like Ultimates, but grown up and well written).
of other things.
