Babylon 5 to return?
on: July 25, 2006, 04:30:15 am
(straight to video, by JMS*, supposedly)
http://www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=23963

If you can stand to read the thoroughly vomitious source, of course.

EDIT; apparently it's broken up into 20-minute vignettes telling a single 'character story' (says JMS doesn't want to make a feature film now that two of his main actors are dead).  And there's possibly a MMORPG on the way.

*I'd rather use Strazyn....Stras....ah, well, you get my point.

and what's the point of telling one character's story in 20 minutes? You just can't fit enough in! And no G'Kar GRRRRR!  :hopping:

Not sure if the character died or not, but the actor who played him passed away earlier this year! :(

These stories will expand on the characters that were previously established. The only character he mentioned would not be covered would be G'Kar since he believes no one should ever voice G'Kar except for Andreas Katsulas, who passed away earlier this year.

Damn and they were so young too...... :(

ergh....B5 was the second best sci-fi series on TV ever (the new BSG being the best, in my humble opinion), and it never got the big recognition that it deserved.  I had never even heard of it until i happened upon it one day on the Sci-fi channel, and i was instantly hooked.  Too bad it's always taken a back seat.

One of the best actors I've ever seen, and I like the idea that he used to hang about outside the studio smoking... in full costume.

Allthough the passings away are truly sad, the news itself is amazing. I really do hope that this will become reality.

I think JMS is on the right track, producing short films centred around one character per show. Since the two actors are no longer with us that would make a feature film harder to create since both Biggs and Katsulas were amazing actors and it would be very hard to fill those shoes.

Andreas Katsulas certainly played G'Kar well as if he were that alien himself. No doubt that actor contributed a great deal to B5.

Personally I’d like to see a short-film centred around Garibaldi, parts of his life would be awesome to see. Maybe his revenge on Bester :lol:, there could be a better story. After Sinclair’s departure, when the battle over 1000 years ago (approx. from 2260) took place could be a good story :nod:
