“Tell us about the bear.”
It’s the most-asked question I get at conventions. “Tell us about the bear,” they say, “the famous Babylon 5 bear.”
Joe Straczynski, B5 creator, goes around at conventions and tells folks near and far about the adventure regarding a certain plush bear which has thus far made appearances in two, count ’em, two science fiction series, with more possibly on the way.
Of course, Joe’s version of the events surrounding the bear aren’t quite exactly right. And so I, in the interest of public spiritedness and public service, will now tell the complete, unvarnished, and, frankly, slightly bizarre history of the B5 bear.
