Hello everyone! I am a new member here and just thought I would check in and tell you a little bit about myself.

I am an original B5 fan and fondly remember being glued to the tube every week to find out what Joe had in store for our heroes. What a great trip! But real life kind of took over after that and I lost touch with the B5 universe for a few years. In fact, I didn't even know until last week that Andreas Katsulas had died! That was a real shocker and I felt very saddened.

You see, a few weeks ago I found some of my old B5 fanfic that I had written and started remembering why I had written it in the first place and all of a sudden I got the B5 bug again. Sooooo, I bought Season 1 on DVD, started watching, and have been falling in love all over again.

I know this list is a little slow right now, but that's okay because at the moment I'm a graduate student (make that a middle-aged graduate student) who also has to earn a living, so there isn't much free time. Still, I would enjoy some B5 conversation once in awhile and would also like to catch up with any news. I know that Rick Biggs and Tim Chaote both passed away (very great tragedies!) and I know that Jerry Doyle has a politically-oriented talk radio show (which unfortunately I can't get where I live).

Does anybody know what the others are up to? Also, I heard a rumor that Michael O'Hare is very ill. Does anyone know about that?

Thanks for listening!
