Anyway, us "lucky bastards" get one more episode, and then we have to suffer through _seven months_ before the next season starts. And JMS has said that S3 ends on a _big_ cliff-hanger, so the waiting is going to be _bad_. Okay, so the Yanks have had 3 or 4 months between episodes, but once the show starts again, they'll only have to wait a week between #322 and #401. Still, thank Valen that C4 has B5. They may have a thing about kick-boxing and knives, but if the ^%#$(*& [insert incredibly powerful expletive of your choice here] BBC were showing the series, they'd give it to _Sky_ half-way through and there'd be a two-year gap between episodes! Interesting thought for the numerically inclined -- the number of episodes that the network programmers have held back in each season of B5 have formed a Fibbionacci (sp?) series, thus: Season 1 -- 1 episode held back Season 2 -- 4 episodes held back Season 3 -- 5 episodes held back Wouldn't it be _awful_ for the North Americans amongst us if this kept up? I mean, can you imagine the screams if season 4 featured a Final _Nine_? And a Final _Fourteen_ for the final season?? That's almost too cruel to contemplate... Phil, on tenterhooks now that **** has appeared -- finally!
