    JMS has TWO new B5 related things in the works

    I think we're talking about two different projects here. Yes, TMOS got further along... I think Looney and I were both talking about the San Diego Comic Con announced B5 film in 2014. Quoted from news articles at the time "Speaking at San Diego Comic Con last week, Straczsynki announced that...

    JMS has TWO new B5 related things in the works

    Yeah, and the B5 movie! That one was announced with such swagger and confidence that I really bought into it. I'd be very down with animated stuff. I'd also love to see more guest writers with JMS as exec producer / showrunner.

    JMS has TWO new B5 related things in the works

    Cross posted from JMSNews, Jan reported back from the 'Together we will go' book launch event that JMS stated he's got two B5 things in the works but that he's contractually not able to say any more than that. This, coupled with the fact he was also looking to speak to folks with the original...

    Season 1 recap

    Yeah, this is a known issue. I think things are gradually getting fixed!

    Season 1 recap

    Yep, Amazon UK has the remastered seasons to buy digitally. I think iTunes does too. They look great. Big improvement on the old DVDs.

    Season 1 recap

    Moonface, please do report back on how your B5 newbies react to the series. We love living vicatiously through others who haven't had the pleasure of B5 before. New first time viewers are a scarce and valuable resource! I just got the HBO MAX remasters, but think I'll save those for the winter...

    New vote for worst episode ever: Between the Darkness and the Light

    Pretty much every episode has some merit, but if I had to choose: Eyes - Overacting incarnate. Gregory Martin sure is ANGRY, at EVERYTHING. Infection - Yes, it has the organic / shadow tech hint, but good god this is a clunky as hell monster of the week episode that just doesn't work. It put...

    Season 1 recap

    Perhaps just copy some notes from the Lurker's Guide for the main plot points. Or use that to get your cues if you are editing a short video to do a 'previously on B5' type video mash up. There's no point in a S1 re-watch, as none of it will smack of new revelations until they have seen the...

    New To Babylon 5

    Also agree that S5 does have some positives, mostly that it wraps up the Centauri Prime arc and of course it has Sleeping in Light (yeah, I know this was technically shot during S4 and later replaced and bumped to the end of S5 when they got renewed). I always feel like the telepath arc drags...

    New To Babylon 5

    Claudia did Freaks & Geeks, which was likely one of the projects she had lined up. She was excellent in that and its another show that has massive cult status now.

    Rare Babylon 5 and SENSE8 items

    I'd also definitely hit up respective Reddit groups too Jan. That definitely helped my eBay auctions get more views and traffic. I shipped 13kg of script books yesterday to a very happy new owner in the UK.

    WB considering HD update

    I'd be all for traditional animation, or something quite stylised. I like, for instance, what I'm seeing on Invincible. I could also see an anime style working too, something along the lines of Cowboy Bebop for example. As long as it was well executed and had it's own visual identity it would...

    WB considering HD update

    Clone Wars improved so much as it went. Hard and fast rules: -Skip any droid centric episodes -Skip any Jar Jar centric episode -Skip any Padme centric episode. The rest is fairly good. It ended VERY well and with class. Nice to see Filoni heavily involved in Mando and getting the recognition...

    WB considering HD update

    Hahaha. Yeah, I didn't really think, and I'm lazy... most people are going to draw their own conclusions and at this point we're still dealing with rumours at best. So, speculate away!

    WB considering HD update

    Personally, really hope it happens. Always thought that an animated venture would be a very good way to get around a number of issues of casting, etc. See,for example, The Clone Wars series, and some very tasteful re-casting of capable voice actors for Obi-Wan, Anakin, etc. Lots of scope and...

    New To Babylon 5

    Genuinely cool to hear new people are still finding B5 and even like it enough to attend ticketed events. HBO MAX and the remaster has likely done wonders for expanding the fanbase.
