More B5 movie news....

[frobisher]

Any idea how long the movie takes place after Crusade? Was the virus issue ever wrapped up?

Nothing's been said yet, so this is all supposition.

Galen is one of the main characters, pretty much following what he was doing before (ie tracking down Shadow influences within the galaxy) so I'd say it would be post season 1 Crusade, so we may get an off had comment about the Excalibur's mission having been sucessful - the plague was never going to be the big plot of Crusade by what jms had said, but dealing with the Shadows' legacy was.

we know that the virus was cleared up because in Sleeping in Light we see Franklin on Mars but Franklin was on Earth during the plague
also there were scripts of what was going to happen and i think it was that the plague was cured a few episodes after the show was stopped and then the Excalibur's crew became renegades after trying to stop the EA/Shadow vessel that destroyed Gideons ship about 10 yrs earlier.

I thought it was just a shadow vessel. Can't remember the ep, which one was it and I'll dig out the VHS, was it the one with the alien in the 'snowglobe'?

Yup, that's the one - the ship however isn't like the Shadow vessels we'd seen before. There's a lot more detail on the ship in the Technomage trilogy, and the infamous "unfilmed scripts". It's generally referred to as "The Hybrid".

I know I've got to read like nine of the novels, yet. I've already read the first 5. I've still to read the last four, the Psi Corp books, The Centauri Trilogy, and the 4th Technomage novel (The prequel).

By prequel you mean #7 "The Shadow Within"?

It always throws me when people use 'prequel' for something that existed before the sequel. Ever since SW 1 thru 3 came out I've tended to use (however incorrectly or over limitedly) prequel to mean something set before but produced after the related work. So I wouldn't describe "The Shadow Within" as the prequel, even though it technically is in that it is set earlier.

Over at b5tv.com someone is reporting that Mira Furlan said the B5 movie is dead .And I think it is true.

Then we must carry the torch! We must be the people who spread the words of JMS! We must be the faithful! We must not loose faith!

Third hand evidence, ignore it is my recommendation.

Until we hear it from a firmer source.

it was promising to be a good movie as well

 

[Aramanthus]

We have a set back. But our hopes and dreams are not over. There is plenty of time for JMS to come up with another one. We must carry the torch! We must spread the word of JMS to the unenlightened. Babylon 5 has a tremendous potential. If we loose faith anbd hope it is over! I'll never loose my faith in Babylon 5 and JMS being able to bring us some new form of Babylon 5. Another aspect of it's tremendous universe!

Like the hot chick with the bone in her hair often said:

"Faith Manages!"

Word Dude! Keep the faith! We are the ones who have to maintain the faith until JMS can carry thru for us!
