You know, I remember JMS saying he never wanted to turn B5 into a franchise. Looks like he changed his mind.
I mean, from what I read, he was like "B5. And that's it - save Crusade" where he laid the groundwork for Crusade into some of season 5.
But now this? I dunno. I'dve preferred them giving Crusade a new shot as opposed to LotR, but whatever works for Sci-Fi, I suppose.

this new series will last longer than "Crusade" did (only like 17 episodes?)

13 eps plus scripts released for 2 unfilmed eps, so that's 15.

I think I probably would've preferred Crusade to have been completed as well although who has the "rights" to crusade. JMS or TNT? Because if it's TNT then there would be no hope for crusade.

I think it would be possible to do a Crusade revival....I think Warner Bros. owns the whole deal and so TNT isn't too much of a player anymore.

crusade should have stayed on, and frankly b5 could have had another season or two, the last episode fell pretty short of conclding most of the events in the series

what about the telepath war?
the drakh?

oh well

Telepath war? Theatrical movie.

Drakh War. Crusade....now maybe Legend of the Rangers.

Don't complain so much. Here in Spain, the 5th season has not aired yet, and i saw 1st and 2nd season like 4 years ago. AXN has the rights of B5 right now, and just bought a series called LEXX (it was going to be named SUXX i think). I had to get up at 6.00 AM to see B5, and normally i used the vhs to record the 4th and 5th season. Taking into account the times when i was in coma that early in the morning, i must have around 75% of the episodes recorded (I SHOULD have recorded Comes The Inquisitor!)
