Michael Straczynski (From Volume 1) - John Iacovelli (From Volume 1) - John Copeland (From Volume 2) - Mira Furlan (From Volume 2) - Ron Thornton (From Volume 2) - Larry DiTillio (From Volume 2) - Peter Jurasik (From Volume 2) - Jim Johnston (From Volume 3) - Jason Carter (From Volume 3) - Stephen Furst (From Volume 3) - David J.

<li>"Grail" by Christy Marx</li>
</ul>
PLUS A SPECIAL BONUS: David Gerrold's complete outline for "Laser-Mirror-Starweb," a never-produced, never-seen episode of Babylon 5.
All scripts include an introduction/commentary by the writers written exclusively for these volumes revealing how the stories came to be, why these writers made the choices they did, what it was like to write for the Babylon 5 universe, and, most important, what you didn't see.
A sample of what you'll discover in Volume 1:
<ul>
<li>Why "dust" was originally introduced in "Born to the Purple," but then taken out.</li>
<li>What novel inspired Garibaldi's cat and mouse game with Ivanova in "Born to the Purple."</li>
<li>The identity of Londo's real alter-ego.</li>
<li>What mistake was made in "Born to the Purple" that was corrected in "TKO."</li>
<li>Which character originally had six gill-like slots at the base of their back.</li>
<li>Revealed -- the real reason the Romeo and Juliet lovers appear in "The War Prayer."</li>
<li>Why DeathWalker is female.</li>
<li>Who was originally supposed to play Abbutt in "DeathWalker."</li>
<li>Why, while writing "Believers," David Gerrold called J. Michael Straczynski in the middle of the night to tell him "You son of a bitch."</li>
<li>What Andreas Katsulas confided to writer Marc Scott Zicree.</li>
<li>Why the director of "Grail" spent most of his time fuming during the filming.</li>
</ul>
Volume 1 also includes four photos from Christy Marx's private collection, taken during the filming of "Grail."
Even better, most of the included scripts are early drafts that include never-before-seen dialogue and action that were later cut from the episodes.
Because there are so many differences, you also get the Script/DVD Variations inventory, which catalogues all the changes, deletions, additions and extras that were in the script but you never actually got to see in a handy, easy-to-reference grid. If you are one of the lucky ones with a Volume 15 from The Babylon 5 Scripts of J. Michael Straczynski, you'll recognize this as being nearly identical to Joe Cuts.
Volume 1 has a total of 20 pages detailing 165 of these B5 Script/DVD variations you probably never knew.
Hidden plot details, secrets of the production finally revealed along with never-before-heard stories of the cast....and what it is really like to work with series creator J. Michael Straczynski.
COLLECTORS TAKE NOTE: All the volumes in the Other Voices series are designed to aesthetically complement your J. Michael Straczynski 14-volume series.

Volume 2 of 2 of the Other Voices script book series for the Babylon 5 spinoff Crusade.
This volume includes three never-before-published CRUSADE scripts: "Value Judgments" by BABYLON 5 reference editor Fiona Avery is the infamous unfilmed CRUSADE script featuring the return of BABYLON 5's Alfred Bester. "Tried and True" by Fiona Avery features a one-on-one confrontation between Dureena and her Thieves' Guild mentor, Mafeek of Tripani 7. "War Story" by Richard Mueller is the first episode of an unfinished three-part story that would have seen Dureena abducted by a mysterious alien ship after a huge battle with the Drakh.
There's also "Ruling From the Tomb" by Peter David, in which Captain Gideon and the EXCALIBUR crew seek to capture a murderer bent on derailing a conference seeking a cure for the Drakh plague. For this episode, we've also included writer Peter David's original outlines, one featuring the return of a fan-favorite BABYLON 5 character who DID NOT appear in the finished episode.
This volume is packed with extras, including an introduction to "Ruling From the Tomb" by Peter David, an in-depth interview with Richard Mueller, JMS's handwritten notes for the episode that eventually became "Ruling From the Tomb," the premise JMS wrote for Peter David to work from in crafting "Ruling From the Tomb," the biography of IPX archaeologist Maximilian Eilerson written by actor David Allen Brooks, a May 2011 interview with Dureena Nafeel actress Carrie Dobro, an interview with Warner Bros. executive Gregg Maday, three unused story ideas writer Richard Mueller pitched to JMS before landing the assignment to write "War Story," a detailed synopsis of "The Walls of Hell," 59 concept drawings, as well as our definitive guide to the six different ways to watch CRUSADE.
