I would love to enter the contest, but my hearing isn’t what it used to be. I am lucky to hear and understand my wife saying ‘Dinner is ready!’
.
I haven’t listened to the show yet, but the comment “But now Summer won’t get her Crusade books until 2010… grumblefrack” is not related to these new books. See these posts:

The most relevant line from Jan:
“Just to clarify, though, the Asked and Answered and other books are *not* pushing the Crusade books back at all. If these weren’t coming out, then nothing would be for these months because JMS simply has too much going on at the moment.”
Wow, no entries at all to the competition?
I gave it a shot, but theres two female voices in there that I can’t identify at all. I might just send in my entry with those two missing, but then I guess it’s not correct enough to go into the draw anyway….
I’m impatient… ideally (for me!) the Crusade books to come out right after the TV Movies book.
iirc, they aren’t slated to come out until after these books and the other two Jason are working on are out. I thought they were saying Fall 2009, at the earliest, and from how Tim and I counted, it seemed more like January 2010.
Thus invoking my grumpy side
I’m going to have to talk to Tim about the contest requirements.
Say, on one specific day, we post a hint for the voices, then set like a 12-hr window on that day for people to email in their guesses. First person from those guesses who gets all of the names right will win.
Sound like an option?
Is there a way we could get the script for the opening? I tried to capture all of the words so I could then try to id the voices. I was able to identify 11 different voices.
I do have my copy of the book – but I am game to enter the contest. I have a friend that I can gift it to!
I already have a Chronologies, so I didn’t try the contest. I do think that the original time frame might have been a bit quick.
Regarding the debate about why Michael O’Hare left, that is still up to debate because there are so many different versions. In the script book, JMS ultimately says that they had a closed door meeting about it and no one outside of those doors will ever know the real story.
From what I’ve read on other websites. jms has been too busy to complete his parts of the Crusade books, so if we didn’t have these next several books, there would be a long break before the Crusade books came out. jms just hasn’t gotten to them.
I know, I know… can you tell I really wanted to get a lot more Crusade than TNT gave us?
I was eagerly anticipating the premise I’d heard that they’d find the cure but then have to deal with other forces who had a vested interest in not letting that cure be used to save Earth. It didn’t matter that we already knew they’d succeed (given the flash-forwards we’d seen in B5), I wanted to see that story told, and we didn’t get to see it.
That was why it took me 2 years to purchase the Crusade DVDs. There was a very interesting story and I wanted to see what happened, but I knew that I was only getting a glimmer of it and nothing would be resolved. It’s like purchasing 50 pages of a 400 page novel
David: That’s a perfect way to describe it.
