His people are coming
September 18th, 2005 by Kelson. Posted in Babylon 5 and tagged for B5, babylon5, JMS, StraczynskiYou know that new site selling JMS’ Babylon 5 scripts?
Within 48 hours, fans subscribing to the announcement list filled up the database. The remark in that message is a variation on a line JMS would use when he told stories about trying to get a big enough room for B5 events at conventions: “My people are coming.” (He eventually managed to get that line into an episode of the show.) Con staff would constantly underestimate the draw for B5 panels.
I’m also reminded of a joke David Kemper made at a Farscape panel last year: “You guys probably don’t know this, but we have obsessive fans.”
