B5 Reboot?? Is it true??!!?!

[Psi Cop]

The reboot sounds like it might be headed beyond the Rim. I would personally like to see the sfx on the original updated instead.

Hmmm...

Well, if we know nothing else, we know JMS likes to screw with us (as far as what's coming up), and that he is anything but predictable. I'm still crossing my fingers. In the mean time I'm re-reading the novels. I'm halfway through Book 1, "Voices". It's pretty good, not as bad as I remember. It's just that we had such amazing writing with Peter David and Jeanne Cavelos that it's tough to compare.

I am not sure I"m remembering this correctly, but I think we all knew that any decision on B5 moving forward was kind of on hold until 2023. So I've been hoping we might her something whenever networks do their season planning (whenever that is).

I'm confused about some kind of feature that sounded like it was wrapped up already, or close to it. Something that some speculated might be animated? I'm not sure what's up with that, but the Reboot itself I think is still waiting to see how the new network wants to move forward.

I'd like to see a Crusade reboot, with new actors where necessary (e.g. Unfortunately, Gary Cole is busy with NCIS.) with as much as possible of the existing scripts, with TNT-Atlanta's pernicious adulteration removed, and the scripts in a not TNT-Atlanta mandated order. I hope we could get Peter Woodward back as Galen.

Peter Woodward never really did get a chance to shine.

The project he's referencing in that tweet is not the reboot.

I agree. He made an excellent Galen, and I think Galen could have been a more important character had Crusade continued.

A b5 animation, new movie. Well. we should be talking about this!

I need to get the new forum up and going so we can get some fan the flames under this new project.

Good idea, boss

In addition to that, I'd like to see the story that got cut short, continued, i.e. Crusade.
