    NEW Babylon 5 Series

    They're the one who asked for it. So it was the only choice. And I don't know it personally but I understand that lots of things migrate over to HBO Max from the CW.

    NEW Babylon 5 Series

    Small reminder that JMS has only explicitly said that he'd never recast G'Kar. And that was when Katsulas was only the second major cast member to pass away. I'll be perfectly happy if he changes his mind about that. There are many wonderful and talented actors out there who could play G'Kar...

    NEW Babylon 5 Series

    He's only made the definite statement about not using G'Kar. And given how very many have passed, I'm perfectly happy if he changes his mind. As for the 'B5 curse', that's for the weak-brained. No such thing.

    Curious why you would be distrustful of WB?

    NEW Babylon 5 Series

    Yes and no. They did dilly-dally about commissioning more. He said no when they offered what he considered a budget that wouldn't meet the needs for doing so. He'd said even before the Lost Tales was released that it would have to be a large bump. We need to keep in mind that this isn't a...

    Thanks. This is probably the most thoughtful post I've seen about people's fears. I understand the impulse to be protective of the original but I'm glad to see that you're open to the new one.

    He knew it was a long shot. Plus we don't have any actual news on when this might actually go into production.

    New JMS 'sync-up' episode commentaries

    Apologies if I've posted this before and forgotten. JMS has been doing some 'sync-up and watch together' commentaries for B5 and Sense8 for his Patreon patrons. After a period of exclusivity, he's releasing them to the public: https://www.youtube.com/user/StudioJMS2012

    JMS Petitions to be Doctor Who Showrunner

    I've heard that a Canadian is who 'invented' Who but I don't really know if that's a fact.

    EpDis: Deathwalker

    Not sure if Vorlons are wary of all telepaths, but we did see that the Shadows had infiltrated Psi Corps, so that would explain some wariness. Yes, the Shadows were 'importing' telepaths as components for their ships. But I always figured that was in order to turn their weakness into a...

    JMS has TWO new B5 related things in the works

    Can't say I blame you. But the failing was with JMS, not anything to do with issues of publishing. He's said that he needed to decide whether to tell the story in the Hell book(s) or in his autobiography and chose the autobiography for the potentially larger audience. I don't really buy that...

    JMS has TWO new B5 related things in the works

    As I recall, there were two comments in interviews. One was that he was almost finished and the other was that it was completed. Seems like I would have linked to them in JMSnews but I'm not able to look for them now. No, never got a title or anything. I'm happy to give whatever happens a...

    JMS has TWO new B5 related things in the works

    You do know that the script was written, right? That seems pretty indicative that he was quite confident, as a seasoned pro like JMS doesn't generally write scripts on a whim.

    JMS has TWO new B5 related things in the works

    As the one who was actually there, can I just say that your characterization of "not many caveats were given. It was all big lights and bluster. " is entirely off base? I don't have time to look at my report or find the video right now but JMS made it clear that X was supposed to happen. And...
