Well, to be fair, the first two attempts at a B5 spin-off series failed. Granted one of them was killed by TNT before it aired and the other aired is pilot opposite the Superbowl, but neither one lasted long. I don’t believe the DVD of that one sold very well either, but I could be wrong about that. I also don’t know how well “The Lost Tales” sold.

Regardless, WB did have plans for a movie, but decided not to follow through after fans objected to the idea of recasting several major roles.

They’ve tried to capitalize on the B5 universe, they’ve just not been able to do so successfully. Whether that’s good or bad, I’m not sure.

Firstly the ever brilliant Babylon 5. Ten years after it finished, it’s as popular as ever, and regarded worldwide with much more adoration than Star Trek, but is there any sign of a new movie or new series ?? Is there hell !!!!!

And fresh after the runaway success of the latest Batman film, the one DC Comic that’s screaming to be made into a motion picture is The Justice Society Of America (their most consistent selling comic book) but set in the 1940s against the Nazi threat, just as the original comic books were. No brainer, but as usual Warner Brothers sit in their complacency, paying obscene amounts to young yuppies to come up with new ideas when they haven’t got a single clue. It’s really sad, you know.

A Babylon 5 movie would sweep Paramount’s new Star Trek movie under the rug. A Justice Society Of America, dark and gothic, with Sandman, Starman, The Spectre, Doctor Fate, Hawkman, etc etc would top Batman at the box office.

But no……

They haven’t got a clue.

Meanwhile we have nothing better to go see than stupid super hero send-ups, and slushy love stories that bore 90% of the population.

SAD !!!!!!!!!!!

I look forward to your article!

Stay tuned.

Thanks for coming by and checking out the internet / network noise.

I’m surprised, disappointed and suspicious.

If you were trying to make a splash and a comeback in the eyes of the fans, I’d think you’d be better prepared with your website and not send out an email that sounds like one man is running the effort.

I’m suspicious because if the site will be ad supported, so far, all they’ve done is collect info from us with no return.

Have I passed judgment yet? Nope. Not going to waste my energy making a judgment.

And good point Zlatan, I can’t stand all of these websites (ABC, NBC and now WB) restricting access so I can’t even watch any repeats of episodes on their sites. Convenient how they don’t restrict me access from seeing their stupid amount of advertisments and commercials.

Some of the Canadian broadcasters offer viewing on their websites and that’s mainly why other countries are excluded from U.S. website broadcasts (because of TV rights, etc. etc.). Kinda defeats the purpose of the freedom of the internet though.

I guess Torrents are the way to go for now.

Sorry about that Zlatan.

Hmm… I have to think on this one.

I think I’ll stick to downloading my TV shows to watch on my computer rather than through low-quality streams in browsers. I hate watching vids in browsers.

From your article, it sounds like whoever’s making the decisions isn’t thinking much. Stuff like that make projects fail before they start. A second e-mail, up to a week away, to confirm? what?

Somehow, this sounds like a very poorly thought out plan.
