A plea, if you'll forgive a slightly off-topic entry here:
<p>
I'm being bombarded with tons of E-mail asking me B5 trivia questions.
If you're considering asking me to help you cheat in a trivia contest,
please don't -- you may think it's a clever and unique idea to ask
the guy who runs the Lurker's Guide to help you out, but I assure
you you'll be in line behind a couple hundred other clever and unique
thinkers. It was already tiresome after the first 5 or 10; now it's
downright frustrating and is taking up a substantial part of what
little time I have to go through Guide-related mail.

A lot of people have written asking why there aren't images for
most of the episodes in season five. It's nothing nefarious, just
a result of some household rearranging a few months ago that
makes it a lot less convenient for me to digitize stills for the
guide pages. Rest assured that I do intend to put stills on the
pages that don't already have them. In the meantime, I've grabbed
some images from
<a href="http://tnt.turner.com/babylon5/">TNT's site</a>
