B5 Fans Enlisted In Rangers

The SCI FI Channel has named one Babylon 5 fan in each of the top five TV markets an honorary Ranger to promote SCI FI's upcoming original movie Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers, the network announced. That fan's car will be "wrapped" with the B5 logo and an ad for the movie, and the honorary Ranger will get to spread the word. Fans were selected in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia and San Francisco.

SCI FI Channel President Bonnie Hammer will have her own personal vehicle wrapped as well, in a show of solidarity with the fans. Photographs of the drivers and their newly tricked-out B5 vehicles in front of landmarks will be posted on SCIFI.COM.

SCI FI is also sending Rangers T-shirts to B5 fans who are planning on attending screenings of the upcoming first Lord of the Rings movie on Dec. 19. SCI FI is asking the fans to wear the specially designed shirts to promote the telefilm.

The fans were all chosen based on their responses to a SCIFI.COM message and for registering on the official Rangers Web site. Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers will debut on SCI FI on Jan. 19, 2002, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The fan campaign kicks off the week of Dec. 10, and the cars will be unwrapped shortly after the film's premiere.

JMS posted this on the newsgroup December 6, 2001. It's up to us, fans! We can make this thing happen!


"One thing I've always tried to do was to avoid obvious promotion; I like
talking about the writing of a show, the making of a show, what I liked (or
didn't) like about the end result...going out there and blatantly saying "Hey,
watch our show!" is something I've never been comfortable with, only because I
think people are smart enough to make up their own minds. If it's something
you want to see, you'll see it; if it ain't, you won't. ("If you like that
sort of thing, it's the sort of thing you'll like." Abraham Lincoln.)

One thing, however, is self-evident about the coming broadcast of The Legend of
the Rangers: if enough people tune it, there will be a series. If enough
don't, there won't.

At conventions, I'm asked constantly when more B5 stuff will be coming down the
pipe. I've always said it's in the hands of the networks and the studios.
This time, it's the fans who have the power to make that decision. If every B5
fan tunes in, it happens. It's really that simple and straightforward.

The rest I leave happily to your own disrection.

"Disrection" Do you mean "Erection" or "discretion"?

We are all particles of stardust held together by angels.

A girl that I was in love with without ever telling for a long time (is it true that unrequited love is the only love that lasts?) once told me that her grandmother told her that we are all particles of dust held together by angels.
If you study astonomy you see that there are so many stars in the universe, if you study physics you begin to learn that the stuff that is in the universe can be understood and if you study astrophysics you find that the stuff the stars is made from is the same as the stuff that you are made from.

That every particle in your body was fused together in the heart of a star, hung around for a couple of million or billion years and got spat out when the star died, wandered through space for the ages, and settled into some planet, chaos and thermodynamics eventualy giving rise to you.
Where all the stuff came from we don't know, but it is all the same in one form or another, from a star to a child. Ever changing, never changing.

We are all particles of stardust held together by angels
