Babylon 5 to be rebooted as a cinematic film!

[mynameissi]

Exploring the Minbari war would be an interesting topic. Babylon 5 was such a big part of my childhood, seen as I was a smaller child I was always a little scared of the shadows

The Dilgar war would explore the rise of the Earth Alliance as a major power soon after humanity acquires jumpgate technology.

That video is not for UK?

Ah sorry was not in the UK when I posted it!

It's a clip from the excellent comedy series Spaced, if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it:

I hope it's as good as the remake of BSG and that they don't ruin it. I loved the original B5 and have the box set with all the series, all the films plus Crusade which followed B5.

The articles I've read said that J Michael S. wants to let the original series stand on its own and have this movie take the concepts and ideas and run in a slightly different direction with them, so, depending on what that means, it looks like purists might not be happy.

Count me in as a B5 fan too, although I never got around to watching Crusade (for some reason). I'll have to check if that's in the box set I bought many moons ago.

The "purists" might object, but surely that's what purists are for? Me personally, I'd be quite content to have a "reimagining" especially since JMS isn't going to have the luxury of five series to do his storytelling in. Just as long as they resist the temptation to fill it with A-list "names" and don't blow the budget on empty special effects, instead make sure the scripts are 100% solid ones.

cptwhite_uk: good call on "Intersections in real time", a very thoughtful, strong and thought-provoking episode. Then again, I also highly regard ST:TNG "Chain of Command", so maybe I should be somewhat concerned that both are about torture.

Final word on a B5 reboot, whatever happens, please, please, please keep Steven Moffat well away from it! (Based on his work on DW).

How about following up on the conflict between the Shadows of Zah'dum and the Vorlons?
