    JMS at SDCC - B5 News?!?

    TRUE! There will be a feature film going into production in 2016 with or without WB's support. Jan Schroeder was at the SDCC panel, and has confirmed it. Studio JMS has been successful enough to look at doing it solo. This is AMAZING news! FAR better than sock puppets! I think, logically, it...

    JMS at SDCC - B5 News?!?

    I'd be fine with new actors and a rebooted universe, a la Abrams Trek.

    JMS at SDCC - B5 News?!?

    Like I said, HAS to be sock puppets.

    JMS at SDCC - B5 News?!?

    Very low probability on that count I think!

    JMS at SDCC - B5 News?!?

    Yes, and here it is for your viewing pleasure… Amusing to see JMS poking fun at their rather limited budget. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYQ5A50lj8I I for one would be intrigued to see a continuation of the B5 Universe in comics, especially with JMS at the helm. Really depends if he...

    JMS at SDCC - B5 News?!?

    Update from JMS on his upcoming panel at SDCC: NOTE the ‘B5 related’… I wonder… I’m guessing it’s that re-mastered ‘sock puppet’ version of B5 we’ve all been waiting for.

    BFI Greatest Sci-Fi Characters of All Time

    Done! Londo and G'Kar! The BFI is awesome, responsible for putting out so many great obscure films and lost gems.

    The 12th Doctor (Or 14th, depending on how you count it)

    Isn’t it great when previous owners leave you hidden surprises. The internet… I mean second hand couches can be great like that. :lol: Sounds very intriguing. I have to admit, I’m not a Dr. Who fan. I did watch it in the 80s as a kid, but it never really translated into my adult life. I’ve...

    Episodic versus serialised storytelling

    I see what you mean about GOT, it’s presented as one continuous story, and the way it flits between characters means that there isn’t necessarily a key concern for any one episode. You are correct in pointing out that B5 managed to do both arc building and self contained stories within the same...

    Episodic versus serialised storytelling

    I tend to derive far more pleasure from a well realised arc based show. That goes for both characters and plot. Watching something like ‘The Wire’ required some serious investment to stay focused on events and track what characters were up to, but it was riveting, intelligent TV. When it comes...

    Bills to pay! B5 items for sale (priced to sell!)

    Hi all, I've got some unexpected bills to pay, so am looking to shift some of my B5 script books and related items. These are priced to sell, so they are priced well below their usual price tags. I want these to go to a fan who'll enjoy them, not interested in price gouging! Ideally...

    Episodic versus serialised storytelling

    The thing to remember here is that the trend is now towards shorter seasons, with more packed into them. One season of Game of Thrones is typically only 10 episodes, with those episodes often clocking in at a full hour. Compare that to B5’s 22 episode seasons, and it becomes clear why there’s so...

    Holy crap! Chop it up into two or three pieces and get it on YouTube. Exciting.

    B5 Scrolls RIP

    Just posting Tom's message that appeared on FB today. Seems B5 Scrolls is gone, at least for now, unless someone hosts it elsewhere as a mirror. The site is/was an invaluable resource for those interested in the visual effects side of B5. If for one will miss it. Cheers for all the quality...

    B5 Fan films / episodes... Why aren't there any?

    For those who may be interseted, there's now a FB group to bring together those interested in making a B5 fan film. It's all a little chaotic at the moment, but I'm sure something will beging to cohere when the dust settles. Page here...

    I Have A New WORST B5 Episode, and it is....

    I liked SiL a lot, primarily for the reason that it’s not rushed, nor does it try to cram in plot to tie up loose ends. It’s a slow and stately goodbye to the series, and it’s something a lot of shows could learn from. I think it might have had EVEN MORE impact had it aired at the end of S4 as...
