The biggest infighting I remember was regarding the WB network not having any interest in saving B5. There was much talk about how the division running the network had no real ties to that which owned the B5 property. On paper it seemed like a perfect match. There could be a dozen or more...

I never asked for evidence about PTEN issues, I was shocked at the time that they were able to get past them and make a deal with TNT for Season 5. I was on eh newsgroups before they voted for a moderated one and followed things quite closely. I was asking for evidence that internal WB...

That doesn't explain why they had no issue making Crusade, LOTR or the Lost Tales as well as licensing an RPG, miniatures, ... There's nothing that explains why those things occurred but something like Big Finish can't. I think the most logical answer is that it's not worth the trouble to WB...

PTEN dissolved before season 5 was even filmed. There was quite a bit of merchandising after that occurred, as well as spinoffs. I'd have to see something concrete to believe your premise. Things dried up after JMS stopped playing ball with them. They know that as long as he's alive, fans...

I think the quality of many scripts went WAAAY down after B5 ended, actually after Season 4 was completed. Crusade had meddling for sure, but that doesn't excuse the poor writing, casting and composer. LOTR was super disappointing, especially the goofiness of the battle sequence. It was a...

It's certainly possible that they don't want to do anything to help rebuild the property just to have JMS make a movie they have no control over. WB is really strange regarding B5 and I have a hard time understanding why. Turning down Big Finish makes little sense unless they want to bury the...

Not a fan.

Part of that may be logistic. Only Londo was needed for the series and so making big plans for other Centauri may cause problems. Plus doing it for a lot of characters would just ruin the surprise of their deaths. It worked for Londo or a great extent because of the circumstances. But...

I'm not really going to get excited or even believe it will happen until they actually start filming. To do otherwise is just begging to be disappointed. Glen Larson kept threatening to do the same thing with BSG and even got Mark Singer involved and that never came to fruition. Does JMS'...

Sounds like a re-imagining rather than reboot but that's just semantics I guess. And yeah he flies off the handle sometimes. But I guess that's a consequence of his passion.

I never rewatched those movies other than ITB. I liked the idea of the plotlines in Thirdspace and Legend of the Rangers but not the final products.

I think JMS held onto hopes of addressing that story and the telepath war on screen somehow. Now it's too late.

I don't remember that sentiment on the B5 moderated forum after it aired. Never met anyone that thought it was brilliant. Everyone thought the two workers were annoying and crummy actors. For clunkers just as bad as AVFTG I'd say: 10- Believers 11- Survivors 14- TKO 15- Grail 17- Legacies

"A View from the Gallery" was truly horrendous. But it doesn't compete with the Season 1 clunkers.

How could it not be the first of a series of films? Part of me thinks the best starting point is the time period covered by "In the Beginning" but purely from the humans point of view with Sinclair as a key role and ending with Sinclair being returned, the war over and several years later...

1) Shortened seasons, the only filler episodes would be there to provide a break from the serious arcs, think the episode with the fly in Breaking Bad. 2) Writing team - JMS is great but he does have some shortcomings that trusted writers could help improve (humor and dialog). JMS has final...

Thanks for the link. I'm impressed that he wouldn't use crowd sourcing as a source of funding. There are only two properties I'd consider helping to fund in such a way and that's B5 and Farscape either for TV/Film/Game. So maybe he'll reconsider at some point as fans really do want to feel...

Seems like no matter what he does it would have to be geared as the beginning of a series and ending with a cliffhanger. I'm actually quite baffled at how he can reboot with a standalone film. Focusing on a Station was a great idea for a budget conscious TV show, but seems limiting in terms of...

G'Kar John Crichton Mr. Eko (Lost)- borderline sci-fi - great character

Just like the proposed Farscape film, I'm watching tentatively but not getting excited until filming begins. It's too bad they couldn't get a reboot for TV as that's where the epic structure shines.
