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.

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
