Yes, I am. Longer term residents of this list have seen a good few members turn up who had not seen all of the series; had seen none of it on arrival but had heard it talked about elsewhere and wanted to learn more about a show that didn't have neat tidy endings performed by shiny happy people;
And they come here?
I believe that's what I just said. Several of them have spoken for themselves now. I note that you've snipped one of the categories - a large one, and the one I'm (almost) in. I'd only just got hold of the videos and worked my way through them when I got net access, and at that point I could *not* cite chapter and verse on the production crew. I would have still been extremely interested in a script with the personal notes of any of the production crew, partly for the thrill of owning a little bit of B7, but mostly because I'm one of those people who isn't just content to watch the silk handkerchiefs but wants to know how the trick was done. This is one of the many reasons I go wandering around the country to theatres where Gareth is performing. It's wonderful to be able to sit in the bar with one of the actors afterwards and pick apart how the play was put together, to compare what I saw during the performance with what the production crew were trying to achieve.
It can be very interesting to know what was intended. A good example of this for me is Blade Runner. I happened to read an SF-orientated review before I saw the film. The reviewer had seen the original preview cut, was thoroughly impressed, and was horrified when he went back to see the release version. He described what had been done to the preview. I went to see the film knowing something about what Ridley Scott had intended, and came away much more impressed by the remaining traces of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" than by the "Raiders of the Lost Androids" studio cut. The messing about had completely changed the feel of the film, for the poorer in my opinion.
Such changes are known to have happened in B7. There was a good example of this given in the analysis of Gambit script changes in an article in Horizon 39. Another example is Vere Lorrimer's infamous habit of shoving in action sequences and then cutting exposition to bring the episode back to length, occasionally leaving out critical plot points in the process. And then there's Mary Ridge's notes on the script for _Blake_, highlighting what I think is one of Boucher's rare duds.
So yes, if one is interested in this aspect, one may well be interested in acquiring scripts and other working material from the show, even if one is not yet up to speed on who all these people in the background are.
