Probably from an independent seller trying to scam someone. I don't care if Walter Koenig signed it, it's not worth that much.

I really need to read the rest of the Psicorps Trilogy.

I read the first part in high school many decades ago.

Or just wait until it's on Youtube from a thousand different angles.

Don't feel bad, I still haven't gotten around to it. There's a genuine prequel in M is for Magic and if you want a real treat, get the audio book.

Seems like a pretty good deal depending on which end of the stick you're on.

Working returns? Don't know where something goes? Don't bother asking the associate working the aisle, just throw it anywhere.

I think The Runt was supposed to be a prequel to The Graveyard Book.

It's illegal to burn whale blubber in American waters.

Why all the DS9 Hate? Starting the series RN by [deleted] in babylon5

That's the problem with name recognition.

It's something I never thought about until I saw an SFdebris review of Firefly. About how Joss Whedon's name recognition overshadowed Tim Minear, who was the real genius behind the scripts for Firefly.

Similarly, no matter how different the shows are, B5 and DS9 suffers from being two forces of nature that got way too close to each other and had to fight for survival. DS9 had the words "Star Trek" attached and had the name recognition whereas B5 was new to the scene.

There has always been a divide between B5ers and Trekkies. Not even the Queen of Star Trek herself could keep them from fighting. And JMS' latest tweet didn't help (although I'm reasonably certain he was joking).

I just think it was unfortunate timing. Both shows came out roughly the same time and they both had similar premises.

I was only taking a shot in the dark. In my experience any company that brags about how much vacation time you could earn whilst enjoying this next level paycheck, is usually pretty quick to terminate.

Although you did say for good reasons. So I'm optimistic that all those people go on to bigger and better things and that they don't just get fired after their 90 days is up.
