"I have some sad news to share with all of you Babylon 5 fans out there. Doug Netter, our fearless leader and executive producer of B5 has passed away and gone beyond the Rim. Doug lived a long an full life and was a driving force behind the series. It was thanks to Doug's tireless efforts that ensured that B5 got a fifth season, even though it meant moving to TNT. He didn't have much give up in him. He was a terrific cheerleader for those who worked with him and he a never afraid to learn new things. It was in large part to his enthusiasm that B5 even made it to the screen.

Here's a photo of Joe, Doug and myself celebrating our first Hugo win."

    He was the reason WB signed on board. He was critically important to the show existing.

    This is a sad day :(

    Sigh another mind behind the magic of B5 gone beyond the rim. Now if I can get to the great machine I can time travel back and inform him that one day he'll be producer of a legendary sci-fi show that changed the lives of many.
