For the record, it's just "writer," singular. J. Michael Straczynski let almost nobody else so much as *touch* his show in the later seasons.

I know a lot of B5 fans who would disagree with this, but I think it was very much a Star Trek way -- the character who goes back in time knows what to do and say there because he's read about his past exploits, creating a good old-fashioned predestination paradox. If you've seen the DS9 episode where Sisko has to take on the role of the historic riot leader Gabriel Bell, it's a very similar idea. The details of WWE make for interesting viewing, though, and it's all very well written.
