If humans ascended and had a question to ask I like it being "Why are you here?"
Seems right to me.
And yeah the second season of Crusade would have had them finding the cure quick enough and basically be framed and hunted for another matter. What got no idea but they would be sought after by pretty much everyone.
hmm
I would not have minded if he borrowed the premise from Startide Rising for that. Explorer ship finds ancient fleet of ships. Everyone in the (galactic) area starts hunting them.
It would more likely have been related to the secret Shadow-tech EarthGov ship Gideon was looking for. I doubt they were pleased when Gideon sneaks in and then Galen blows the place up in the unfilmed next script.
J. Michael Straczysnki has announced plans for a Babylon 5 feature film, which is expected to enter production in 2016.
Speaking at San Diego Comic Con last week, Straczsynki announced that he would soon be sitting down to write a Babylon 5 feature film, which is envisioned as a reboot of the iconic sci-fi series. JMS said that he plans to get the script locked down by the end of 2015 and the film would then enter production the following year in 2016.
Next to nothing is known about the plot for this Babylon 5 feature film, beyond the fact that it is a reboot of the concept seen in the series. That said, J. Michael Straczynski has stated that he would like to use cast members from the series, such as Bruce Boxleitner and Mira Furlan, in new roles in the feature film. “I’d love to see Bruce as the President of the Earth Alliance”, he said.
The hope is that Warner Bros, who produced the Babylon 5 television series, would step up and green-light a “big budget” feature film once the script has been completed. But owing to the nature of the deal that Straczysnki inked with the studio to produce Babylon 5 in the early 1990s, he, rather than Warner Bros, owns the feature film rights to the show. Should Warner Bros. choose not to greenlight a B5 movie, Straczynski would still proceed with the feature, which would then be funded and produced through his Studio JMS banner on a budget of $80 – $100 million.
This marks the first piece of solid news for a potential Babylon 5 feature film, which Straczysnki has been trying to produce since the 1990s. The writer/producer/director now has the option to proceed without Warner Bros. thanks to the financial success of Studio JMS, whose diverse slate of projects include the upcoming Netflix series Sense8.
Straczynski has previously pitched at least three Babylon 5 feature films. The first was in 1996 and was to tell the story of The Telepath war; while the second, tentatively titled Babylon 5: The Motion Picture, told the story of President Sheridan investigating when the entire crew of a White Star are found dead. It was the third film pitch, The Memory of Shadows, which came closest to fruition in 2004/2005. The project fell apart, however, when funding for the film could not be secured.
2016 for production is an awful long time to keep my fingers and toes crossed.
I was hoping, as I always do, that the thread was resurrected to announce that they're redoing the effects so we can get a proper widescreen release of the series.
I will settle for a maybe happening movie in a few years.
And man, compared to Trek in general, B5 has lost a lot of cast members over the years. Pretty much everybody in Trek is still kicking apart from Anton Yelchin and 3 of the TOS crew. 4 if you count Grace Lee Whitney.
The sky was full of stars, every star an exploding ship. One of ours.
So I said earlier that you could skip most of Season 1.
here are the list of the episodes that, by my memory, you need to watch:
The Gathering (watch the movie version)
Midnight on the Firing Line
The Parliament of Dreams(not required but I still recommend it)
Mind War
And The Sky Full Of Stars
Signs and Portents
A Voice in the Wilderness part 1
A Voice in the Wilderness part 2
Babylon Squared
Chrysalis
if anyone wants to make a case for another episode feel free. It's been a while since I've watched Season 1.

Mostly just huntin' monsters.

I'd say you also need Mind War, because that's Bester's first appearance.

Minor issue with the movie version of the Gathering is that it spoils most of the plot for the next two seasons.
Frankly though, season one of B5 is pretty good, there's only a handful of episodes that don't service the bigger plot or build characters, I'd suggest watching it all if it's your first time.

Oh yes. Definitely will add Mind war to the list. Bester is a treat.

Now we have a B5 thread, let's talk about Farscape and Lexx instead.
But where do we go to talk about SeaQuest?
Dr. Who thread?
SeaQuest?
Pffffffffffttttttttt!
Hey, once upon a time DSV was the new TNG. Dolphin and all.

You know what was great about DSV? How it suddenly veered into a bizarre war on another planet where a human ship was important because of our underwater tech and then the fight ended suddenly and everybody ended up back on Earth somehow and then the show started being about fighting and whatnot.
Wait, no, that was really really stupid and bizarre.
Though nowhere near as bizarre as Lexx. But Lexx was at least trying to be really weird. Seriously, so much of Lexx was just... what the fuck.

I mean it isn't like JMS doesn't have a lot of pull with with comic folks.
Also it would be nice to get more B5 stuff.

Enlist in Star Citizen! Citizenship must be earned!
Hot steamy sexy goodness.

So it's good that that's not actually the news. Still... I don't really expect much to come out of this.
I dubbed those "planet buster parfaits" after a particularly satisfying visit to Dairy Queen in the mid '90s.
I will settle for a maybe happening movie in a few years.
For now.
Also, there's a Babylon 5 thread!

So there are a few really good episodes of season 1 and you can get away with watching just those before moving on to season 2.
