The number one requirement for the movie is that it rekindle interest in B5. If it is successful at that, who knows what we might get in return? At the lowest level-the original episodes might be more widely available on Netflix or some other site. A little higher up-maybe a "special edition" of...

D'oh! Babylon 5 is *EXACTLY* the kind of material that would make for a crackerjack "Eurogame" (you know, one of those fancy board games that are all about resources and whatnot, like Settlers of Catan, Notre Dame, etc.) Anyone familiar with the BSG reboot game? They have a cool game mechanic...
