Yes, has become a very complex tangled web with added Trump. This could take up to a year to conclude. More things in limbo.

Up to Netflx to re-structure WB to their advantage I guess. I can see what you're getting at here. There will be some major changes I imagine.

I'm with you on the over reliance on existing properties, endless sequels, prequels and reboot. It's not great. However, let me play devil's advocate for a moment. B5 in someone else's hands could also be as good as Tony Gilroy making the best Star Wars content since the original films...

Unsure why the business models would be at loggerheads? WB was attempting to transition to streaming with HBO MAX, etc. It's just taking the whole library and folding it into Netflix. Cable is dead, so it makes sense for there to be consolidation in the sector. There's some very lucrative...

IMHO, no way they don't do something with B5, in whatever capacity. Me, I'd love to see some new blood involved, especially in the writer's room. JMS as creative consultant. After The Road Home, I have zero desire to see him heavily involved in the writing.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/dec/05/netflix-frontrunner-warner-bros-discovery-streaming-and-studio-sale The TLDR: Netflix agrees to buy Warner Bros Discovery studio and streaming business in $83bn deal streaming service to gain control of studio behind Harry Potter and Batman, as...

Nothing. (that's not a joke) Saving Pluribus for an Xmas binge with my family.

Counterpart (2017) - Spy Thriller / Sci-fi. Was cancelled after 2 seasons but wraps in a satisfying way whilst leaving it open for a return if that was ever possible. Incredible world building, very tightly scripted and not a dud episode amongst the two season run. Notably has J. K. Simmons and...

ALIEN: Earth right now. Alongside new episodes of Foundation and Star Trek: SNW. All of them have been good. SNW S3 feels a bit weaker due to the over-reliance on Spock love triangle, but it's still leagues ahead of Disco. Nothing has yet equalled S2's 'Under the Cloak of War', which went down...

Ah, he played the dude with the questionable choice in sweaters and political alignments. RIP.

The Wire is definitely in my Top 5 shows of all time. Superb stuff. Requires some patience. It's a slow burn... but so worth it. You CAN make a conscious decision on what media you choose to consume and I find most Cinemas now do interesting throwback screenings or occasional one offs...

I think you need to push a bit beyond 'regular' cinema to find the real gems. Whilst the mainstream occasionally delivers something of worth, most of the best stuff lurks under the surface or elsewhere geographically. I often find myself just investigating films from other countries. Asia has a...

Hollywood needs to fucking stop it with the reboots, never ending sequels and remakes. Creatively bankrupt nonsense. Is it just me, or is all the really strong storytelling in TV these days as opposed to film? I've seen a handful of good films of late, but it seems like TV is now the long form...

I just wish they'd hit the ground running with The Road Home. As it stands, it's a fan service vehichle and a soft backdoor pilot for an animated series. But where TRH wraps up, that's really where the film should have started. Just dump the audience right into an alternate universe B5! For my...

I'm close to the end of Foundation season 2 now and whilst it's still good, I've found my attention waning and the scattershot storytelling has been a bit jarring. It packs a lot in, in terms of characters, time jumps, side quests and progressing the overall arc. Maybe too much in mix. At least...

Blake's 7 would be an awesome fit. I'm not a Dr. Who fan, but I appreciate it would be a fun gig. I think it's highly unlikely tbh. I'd still prefer to see new original work in the TV area, but I know how hard it is to float a new idea these days. Studios will take the existing IP / Comic book /...

Currently watching Foundation. Took me a while to get around to this one. So far, very epic, high budget SF with a great cast and solid scripts. I haven't read the Asimov books in question, so I'm just enjoying it for what it is. Call me crazy, but Lee Pace who plays Empire (day), would make an...

He added a lot of texture to the B5 universe, and I'm sure I read a few of his Trek novels in my teens.

I don't really want a future for B5. Time to let it rest.

I think you'd have to pay me serious money to consider buying The Road Home. LOL. Each to their own, and well done for supporting the cause.
