It's true that JMS has a lot on his plate for the foreseeable future, but 
remember that "The Changeling" and other feature film projects that have been 
announced include JMS as the _scriptwriter_.  I'm not saying that that won't 
take up a lot of his time, but it's not the same as being a producer or 
director, and having to be around and on set while they're filming.  His 
participation -- for all intents and purposes -- ends when filming begins.

Having said that, and noting the recent trajectory of JMS's career, I find 
myself wondering wistfully if this is, indeed, the last screen B5 we'll get.
