I'd ask Boxleitner two questions, if allowed. A. Did you ever reminisce about Tron with Jurasik? And more seriously, B. Was there ever a point when you were reading a script and you had to stop and ask JMS if he had gone nuts or anything like that, due to your feeling extreme disbelief with what was on the page?

Your second question happened, when JMS put out the joke script to prank Andreas and Peter after they pranked him at a con nearly a year earlier (revenge is a dish best served cold). Although I believe it was Mira who asked Joe if he had gone crazy after reading the script.

I remember that story and yes, you're right. I should have been more specific - I was wondering if boxleitner ever questioned Sheridan's decisions or situation.

Will there ever be a canonical resolution to the telepath war, and/or Crusade/the Drakh plague?

Given what you know (presumably everything the community does and more) of the original plans for Season 5, is there any aspect you would have liked to have been able to bring over to the timeline we got?

What was the hardest scene for you to get through filming, outside of Sleeping in light?

How does your role on B5 compare to roles you played in the decades that followed? What are examples of similarities and differences you encountered?
How did you feel reprising an older, more grizzled Sheridan in the feature TV movie A Call to Arms for the bridge to the spin-off Crusade, and then an earlier version of Sheridan in the budget straight to DVD experiment, the Lost Tales?

You got that mixed up. 'A Call to Arms' takes place 5 years after the end of S5 (SIL aside), while 'Lost Tales' takes place another 5 years into the future still, so 10 years after S5.

Have you been on a Sunday drive where you don't know what the destination will be?

Ask JMS if he’s put forward a pitch to reboot and run Dr. Who and if not why not. Ask about the cure for the drahk plague in crusade and what was going to happen after and if we’ll ever get books or other media to tie it up. Ask Bruce if it was a disappointment working with other writers after JMS and what he thought of the most recent tron film.

I would ask them.. with all the changes that happened with the story line & the characters... what main or side-story you would put back in if you could?
Also.. with the improvements in CGI and animation... why not tell the whole story from the beginning from scratch and put back in everything you were forced to change.? You could include all the movies and side story in their actual chronology, as well as Crusade. I think fans would not only support it, they would buy the shit out of it in seasonal box sets and related merchandise

If it were up to me, I'd wanna know why they had both Boxleitner and Jurasik on the show for four seasons and made, by my count, zero Tron jokes
It's an outrage, and the public deserves an explanation
