"TMoS?" seconded.  Also, movie, TV, book, or what?

All good questions. I could be funny and say this was The Minbari operating System - About the fall of Microsoft but to be honest your guess is as good as mine.

Here is what JMS has said in the past... (this is cut from a post of his dated 11/30/2003 02:34 AM)

On the B5 front, there has been something of rather substantial proportion

that's finally gone from talk to money, such that I'm now working frantically

to meet some deadlines, but there's nothing I can say about this until after

January 15th, probably closer to the end of that month.

The only thing I can say is that phase one of the new project is a go, hence

the furious writing schedule at this end of things, which is why I've been

silent until deciding to kick up some dust on the political discusion. I've

been writing my little brains out.

I know the immediate result of this will be speculation, but if we could keep

that to a low roar on the nets to avoid precluding anything, that would be a

wonderfulness. But trust me: I wouldn't go on about something in this way if

it wasn't a significant development. Just trust me on this one for a bit and

hold fire until further word.

(Longtime followers of the various news groups know that an eep means that

something significant has happened, but that I can't talk about it...the eep is

just a way of saying, on the QT, that something has, indeed, happened and it's

real, not just speculation or maybe-gonna-happens. So on that basis, you may

consider this an eep.)

So up till now B5:TMoS has just been refered to as "eep". As to the second question JMS has said it's not a series and that it's not for print. I'd have to do alot of digging to find those posts though. I think most are thinking it will be a made for TV movie.

Thats really all I know at this time. If I learn more I'll share.

Enjoy,

Carl

A friend of mine had the link so I actually didn't have to do any digging. Thank you. This is cut from a JMS post dated (09/27/2003 08:18 AM):

To the many questions that have arisen here of late...yes, as I mentioned

before, there is the possibility of something Babylon 5 related on the horizon,

but again I don't want anyone getting excited until we know if either one of

these two projects is going to actually come to fruition. We should know where

this lands in the next few weeks. The only thing I will say is that they're

not print projects, so if you were to assume it's for TV or film you wouldn't

be too far off...but that neither of them are series. And that's all I'm going

to say about them for now.

There I think everyone now has as much info as I have.

Enjoy,

Carl
