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.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
