Which is a shame, because it might've made an interesting series. Let's be honest, ANY part of B5's history would have made an interesting series Although I'm still anxious to see what happens to Sheridan's son. Yeah, but I doubt that she would have wanted to do it. I think she was tired of playing Lyta by the end of season 5. Probably wanted to go back to doing stunt work. [EDIT]- Just looked up her filmography on imdb- can someone tell me what the hell is this?

My Doctor Who news never gets a response, but maybe someone will find this interesting: For a few months, JMS has been talking about a new B5 project called 'TMoS' (obviously that stands for something but he hasn't explained it). For a while there was no news about it, but just last week he brought it up again and strongly hinted at what it is: A B5 theatrical movie. Hopefully he'll have more news soon. JMS has not, and incidentally never has, said anything about the plot. The idea that it's about the Telepath War is just a theory some fans have, probably because it's a big event that we've never actually seen. I checked his older posts, and some of them were quite interesting. For instance, he revealed that originally Crusade was supposed to have Marcus as a regular character. So apparently Marcus gets resurrected at some point. (And then killed again.) JMS said that the 'Claudia situation' prevented him from using Marcus, so apparently Ivanova was supposed to be heavily involved. (Maybe it was something originally meant to be in the fifth season.) Originally posted by Lurrr: Although I'm still anxious to see what happens to Sheridan's son. He's featured in the last book of the Centauri trilogy, Out of the Darkness. It explains what's going on in those future scenes from "War Without End."

He's been talking about doing a theatrical movie for a few years now. If it's finally getting made, that is great news. JMS has not, and incidentally never has, said anything about the plot. The idea that it's about the Telepath War is just a theory some fans have, probably because it's a big event that we've never actually seen. If the movie gets made, I hope it's not about the Telepath War. We saw enough of telepaths in season 5. I wouldn't mind if Lyta was in the movie, though. I checked his older posts, and some of them were quite interesting. For instance, he revealed that originally Crusade was supposed to have Marcus as a regular character.

JMS said that the 'Claudia situation' prevented him from using Marcus, so apparently Ivanova was supposed to be heavily involved. (Maybe it was something originally meant to be in the fifth season.) I've heard a lot of nonsense about Marcus coming back, mainly from Marcus fans who don't want to accept the fact that Marcus is dead. Personally, I'd prefer if he stayed dead. Bringing Marcus back (in whatever fashion) would take meaning away from his sacrifice. On the other hand, if Ivanova had been around for "Day of the Dead", having Marcus visit Ivanova would have worked. But then, I've always thought that "Day of the Dead" would have been better as a two hour movie, so that a few more characters could have been fit into it.

I've heard for a while that JMS was planning something but he's been quiet about the details. I just hope TMoS isn't as dire as Legend of the Rangers is supposed to be. He's featured in the last book of the Centauri trilogy, Out of the Darkness. It explains what's going on in those future scenes from "War Without End." I noticed them but I'm always a bit suspicious about novels based on TV series'. I'd rather see it on screen to be honest (even if it was re-enacted with finger puppets or something). For instance, he revealed that originally Crusade was supposed to have Marcus as a regular character. I heard he was going to be a main character for LotR. Not that it matters really.

Back in 1998 he decided to wait until after the new Star Wars movies were finished before trying it, because they'd offer too much competition (this was before anyone had actually seen the new Star Wars movies, of course). But it's always been in the back of everyone's mind.

*bump* JMS is being his usual mysterious self: Some little bits of info B5: TMoSAnd the title is revealed- TMoS stands for 'The Memory of Shadows'. This sounds to me like it could be telling the story of Sheridan's son, which would please me no end. And from one of the comments JMS makes, it's probably safe to assume that most of the original cast are to be involved. And I've realised that I didn't pay my respects to Richard Biggs on this board, even though I first read about it here. Me and my parents were quite upset, as Babylon 5 has been a big part of our lives over the last decade. He will be missed

News of the movie appeared on a site called ProductionWeekly.com. I'm not sure where they got it, but here it is: "Steven Beck will direct a big screen adaptation of the popular sci-fi TV series Babylon 5. The movie, titled The Memory of Shadows, is intended for theatrical release and was written by series creator J. Michael Straczynski. Production Weekly reports that the project starts filming this April in the UK. In 'Shadows,' the technology of the ancient and extinct Shadow race is being unleashed upon the galaxy by an unknown force, and Earthforce intelligence officer Diane Baker, whose brother was recently killed in a mysterious explosion, it out to find out who is behind the intergalactic conspiracy. Joining her is Galen, a techno-mage who has been charged with keeping the technology out of the hands of those who would abuse it." I think they mean Steve Beck, director of Ghost Ship and the remake of Thirteen Ghosts. There are a couple small errors in the article: The Shadows aren't extinct, they just aren't around any more; and I doubt it'll literally be "intergalactic." There's no word on who'll be in it, though obviously it'll have at least some established characters besides Galen. I think JMS had to rewrite part of the script after Richard Biggs died.

Sounds a bit like A Call to Arms. As cool as Galen is, I'd much rather see characters from the original series. Of course, with Galen in it there's a good chance that we'll see some of the other characters from Crusade. Maybe even Dureena Nafeel.

*bump* Originally posted by wu_konguk: Well i think tyey would of had a relationship, they kind of set that up in the episodes where the alian races all showed their religious festivals. Also I think should would still of had to been a decendent for the transformation to take place.
From what I have read on certain sites there would only have been a few minor changes, like the war with no end being the final episode. Another change was to have Catherine Sakai to be the one who went to Zah'adum and bieng the reason for Sinclair to go there. Since there were many parallels between Sinclair and Sheridan, both War heroes, both J.S's amonst other things. If so, then I'm glad that the series turned out differently. It would have been sad if Delenn had fallen in love with Sinclair, only to lose him when he traveled back in time. At least Sheridan got to stay with her, even if it was only for twenty years. I am also curious as to what happened to Lenier, that and what actaully happen during the Telepath war. Apparently Lennier dies during the Telepath War, presumably redeeming himself in the process. I don't know much else about it, other than the fact that Lyta dies too, which seems rather pointless to me.

All I know is Bester survived eventually traacked down by Mr Garabaldi who did not kill him but got him to trail. How i could miss a thread about one of my favorite Sci-fi shows? About Bester fate: He spent several years on the run before moving to Paris, France. He fell in love with a local businesswoman named Louise. But Michael Garibaldi eventually tracked him down. Bester was brought before the war crimes trial, and was tried in France for his crimes. He was sentenced to life in prison and subjected to the Sleeper drugs that deprived him of his telepathic abilities. During that time, a statue was even made of the lost child of Fiona. He then spent the next 10 years in a maximum-security prison, and died shortly after the death of John Sheridan in 2281. Oh btw, how i loved those: One of my favorite ships and one of my favorite fighters in sci-fi

I only ever caught one episode on telly, but I recall it was kinda cool - I thought at the time a darker, grittier Star Trek. Heh heh... Neil Gaiman... Is Gaiman pronounced the way I'm pronouncing it in my head? Because I'm pronouncing it "gay-man".

Oh... anyone has got the "The Lost Tales" DVD? at last new B5!! the first ep is not very good IMHO and even very shocking because JMS is a declared ateist, and yet here it seems to confirm that god exist in the B5 universe, plus the angels, demons and so.. right to the end i was waiting an explanation to that events in the type of "he is a shadow agent" or a Vorlon or a mysterious race.. and still can be, but no explanation is given except Lockley religious beliefs.. suming that to JMS ateist and we have a little confusion And the second history with Galen and Sheridan is awesome and there is one short combat sequence in "forward-flash" mode where at last we see the Warlock class destroyers using their full weapons.
and even they throw in a couple of semi-fan design from the AoG miniature game, a centauri gunship and a carrier
