Official Babylon 5 animated movie coming soon


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
