I've added in credits for the episode Colonial Day.

[Xenu]

Thanks for posting this Larocque; mind if I make a permanant page out of it? I'll credit you, of course .

[Darth Marley]

I bet he has a version alreay formatted in HTML.

[Big Brother]

And if he doesn't, I'm working on one. Very different format, and I'm re-wording all the plot descriptions. But I am using this as the basis for my own episode guide, which will end up looking an awful lot more like the Lurker's guide to Babylon 5, and even more like my own first-season episode guide for Andromeda (www.geocities.com/andromedafaq/). Mainly what I'm taking from this is the episode numbers, titles, guest stars, and UK airdates. All of which is available elsewhere, but this was a heck of a lot easier than looking it up myself.

Mr. Larocque, if you object to my doing this (you will get credit for initial research on my episode guide webpage once I put it online), please let me know via email and I will dig up my info elsewhere.

[larocque6689]

I don't have a problem. Keep in mind, the credits thing is an ongoing update. And I corrected a number of episode dates, so those are things that will be passed along as we get further along into the season.
