Well apparently JMS says it's not a reboot or rehash, seems the cast members that are still around have been working on this as well.

I don't know what they plan on for those who are no longer alive, rumor has that it will be released after San Diego Comic Con July 20-23, 2023

most likely going to be on MAX streaming (HBOMax).  I'll definitely be intrigued to watch it. , hopefully this will create new interest and demand for the B5 Reboot to happen.

As per J. Michael Straczynski the live action B5 is still proceeding and is on hold till the writers' strike is over.

The excitement is real. 

I was recently trying a random game called Beyond Blue and Mira Furlan (Delenn) was in it!

Still being thought about by WB/CW , not written off yet, but not proceeding, just yet, more like let's see if this Animated feature gets huge ratings and then we'll look into a B5 reboot, then mid way through season 3 we can cancel it, like the good old WB way! . 

I hate to be so negative, but I've been around the block a few times with WB & CW on SciFi series.  Would've been better if they sold B5 to  JMS or NBC/Universal .

Really hinges on the animation style for me

I will cry if it ends up looking like anime.  Every time I see anime it just looks like child porn passing as boring low quality cartoons.  ChatGPT could make it if you took tthe "morality" filters off.

So, now we know what type of anime you've watched! :rofl:

Try watching some decent stuff, from places like Studio Ghibli.

I am almost through the first season of Babylon 5 (one episode left). I had never seen it before back when it aired or the reruns, but being a scifi fan I had to give this a go, really hoping Season 2 is better (like many people say online, there are even guides to only watch the "important" episodes of S1, but I watched them all).

Is it streaming somewhere? I may have to give it a re-watch before this comes out.

Edit: It's on tubi for free... https://tubitv.com/series/300010071/babylon-5?start=true&tracking=google-feed&utm_source=google-feed

Season 1 is largely world building stuff.. Season 2 the main plotline really kicks off.

I haven't been keeping up on the news. Have they announced a animation studio yet?

Nothing yet, but the film is done already.  More details next week from Micheal.

Glad to hear they got all the living cast members back to play their characters.

I was really hoping for something totally new. I will watch it, but I am kinda disappointed. Reading the story description it does sound kinda interesting.

He said there's a live action series in development still.  

I was always fascinated about what 'beyond the rim' was like.  Or at least I believe what they called the galactic barrier that was so often mentioned in this shows story as a place of where you go when you ready to evolve past this one.  We have established personalities that could be there.  I think the biggest problem is that we've already had to wait too long and they're not picking up enough to fill all appetites.  Well they better commit to like paramount did to star trek.  The writing was better in the 90s during the franchise war and its well known (if you trust the actors and people involved) that DS9 is ripoff that was made after rejecting B5s pitch.  

I really hope the writing catches up with the times and isnt stuck in the 90s and that it's not anime.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By monterxz · Posted

      I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."

    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.

      It's good for recycling of course. But commence inflation of a second hand RAM bubble and price gouging on DDR 4 inventory in 3... 2... 1...
