Babylon 5 Station News - April 1997
by Denise Chochrek
Welcome to the ongoing gathering of Babylon 5 fans on the
Aphelion. In the months ahead I hope to expand this area, but I will
need your help. Let me know what you like or dislike, what is missing,
and what you always wanted to know. Together I'm sure we will make this
a great place to visit.

Heard on the Net
The TNT Deal according to the news:
TNT will be airing the two hour movie, Babylon 5: In the
Beginning in
January 1998. It will then start showing the series starting with
Season
1 and going through to whatever the end might be. Still no word as to
whether there will be a 5th season. If there is, TNT's showing will be
running concurrently with season 5.

Look for the novel, The Shadow Within, by Jeanne Cavelos. It
is sold by Dell for $5.50. It follows Anna Sheridan's progression to
Z'ha'dum and John's new command of the Agamemnon. It has received
praise on the Net.
Look for more merchandise to be available in the US. Dell is
doing the books,
The Hamilton Collectors plates are coming out soon. There will be at
least a
Sheridan and a Delenn plates.
Antioch Publishing is coming out with bookmarks, bookplates,
magnets and
journals.
More cards are coming out from Fleer.
Chameleon Eclectic Entertainment is producing a B5
role-playing game.
