The next and (so far) final try to bring B5 back also falls flat on it's behind. It feels hollow, lifeless. Just bringing in one or two actors from the old days and then spinning a generic story around it doesn't cut it. It might even be a good generic story but it's not Babylon 5.

Second part isn't much better. Galen is back and shows Sheridan a future where Earth is destroyed and tells him how to prevent that. Sounds familiar ? Jepp, been there - done that. It's the old problem: JMS is trying to revive B5 yor years (still is) but he doesn't come up with something new and/or exciting. And even the new project (now scheduled for 2023) is just a re-heat. After all, he did create the ultimate story - a beginning, a middle and an end - and has already shown us the future. What else is there ?



The positives: in 2007 CGI had finally catch up so the station looks the best its ever been. On the other hand they made too much use of digital sets (probably budget). There are no sets of any kind to speak of. This was literally filmed in an empty studio hall. Both, Scoggins and Boxleitner do look great, thought.

After having now re-watched all the B5 movies I think I can honestly say, that other for the fact to once again see some familiar faces, there is no reel need to watch them.
