Bring Back Babylon 5

It's hard for brand new series to get traction. I think the REAL problem is apparently TV execs don't like science fiction TV anymore. Maybe it doesn't get enough viewers, I don't know. All I know is that I'm running out of shows to watch. Star Trek, B5, Stargate, Firefly, BSG... I've seen them all.

I'm also not a huge fan of the "dark and edgy" theme that the more recent shows have adopted, but that's maybe just a sign of our times and if things get better we can go back to fun, adventurous stuff. If another sci-fi show ever gets made again. Everything these days is reality TV, sitcoms, medical dramas, and cop dramas.
 
I would love for more B5...but it just wouldn't be the same without the original cast. <3 Claudia Christian

True, and they're aging fast, those who are left. It wouldn't be the same without G'Kar and the doctor. 🙁

Also, he's tried to bring it back a couple of times: Legend of the Rangers, and The Lost Tales. Both sucked donkey balls. Hell, even the spinoff Crusade series sucked bad.

I just want to see new scifi that isn't vampires and teen angst.
 
As long as they get rid of the crappy telepath episodes like they did in star trek by getting rid of the holodeck episodes for the most part.
 
B5 is my favorite sci fi series by far, but that said, I think too many characters' actors have died for a comeback with the original cast to be successful.

I think some other events in the B5 universe could be potentially be expanded upon (earth-minbari war / telepath war / previous shadow war comes to mind)

Would be hard to do as humans lost that war very fast and the first shadow war humans were not even in space yet.
 
TV series should never be brought back. When stuff dies they should put a lid on it and the series fans should just accept that such and such is dead and gone and remember the good times. Something essential is lost when shows are brought back from the dead and they seem to lack the soul that made them so enjoyable in the first place.

I would skin puppies alive for a good, well thought out Sci-fi show again. Making my way through the X-files nostalgia right now.

It would be cool if they planned out a 5-year story arc and got funding to do the whole thing.

In this day and age? I don't think it would happen, even if Aaron Sorkin was making it!

I'd rather they didn't try remaking B5 but instead push out some original sci-fi content.
 
I just happened to be reading about Charles in Charge on wikipedia and learned that its first season was 84-85 and the 2nd season didn't start until 87. If they can do it Firefly can do it too!
 
The only thing I would like see done is updated 3d graphics and no not like those horrible nearly-pitch-black unable-to-hold-a-camera-steady Battlestar style either. Imagine the First One's ships with modern graphics 😱

Yeah, a redo with updated external graphics would be amazing.

And I totally agree with you about the shaky cam stuff; that needs to GO.
