   Which in retrospect was a horrible choice for WB. The dvd sales of   
   Babylon five, the most popular dvd franchise ever, with Ivonava would   
   have more than made up for any pay raise. The only bright spot is that   
   Joe picked Tracy. I myself recommended her on the b5 newsgroup and I   
   always wondered if Joe read the newsgroup and casted her becasue of my   
   comment. Great choice, nobody but her could have pulled it off.
