The thrust of the news is this: straight-to-video BABYLON 5 adventures...involving B5 characters in an anthology format...should arrive late next year. Written and directed by JMS.

Got this information from here, which also notes that 'Windows XP users can now watch season one episodes for free online.'

While probably the weakest of the seasons, if anyone who hasn't seen B5 would like to get a taste of it, this might be the place to start.

.................

Personally, I'm really hoping JMS does something with the telepath wars plot hook he dangled in front of people in the original series. [Smile]

SWEET. Now no other cast members die before this gets made!!!

That's cool, I just started watching this a couple weeks ago, and started season two last week.

Why did Sinclair leave? Was it actually planned that way, or did the actor up and quit or something?

If they have a nicely plotted, tightly written saga, that'd be cool.

But if it's just "The Adventures of Some Characters from Babylon 5, with Scripts That Read Like They're Rough Drafts," then I doubt I'll watch. Most of season 5 was like that, ick.

JMS explains it all. Except why he left. [Wink]

All becomes clear later on, BaoQinqTian.

Basically, the actor left the show for personal reasons, but they managed to turn his leaving into a rather neat storyline.
