We also look at J. Michael's #Straczynski 's ingenious use of character trapdoors in #Babylon5, looking at how he handled the changes from Sinclair to Sheridan, Lyta to Talia, Ivanova to Lochley and more, across the five seasons of the show

Current status of #Babylon5 #Reboot: Not news is good news, according to #Straczynski.

Let's hope that if this becomes real, JMS will get all the resouces and freedom to turn this into something amazing!

@john_w_kennedy Oh wow, yeah. That book blew me away. His writing through Babylon 5 literally changed my life as a kid, and reading his biography did it all over again.

I wrote a review of that too, actually.

@jynersolives Of course I'm exited! In theory this is the chance for #Straczynski to re-tell the story with better budget and without the restrictions on episode lenght and placement of ad breaks that applied in the 90s.

I trust him so far that he could do again something great, even if it feels different from the original series. I am only concerned that my taste is - as often - not the taste of the majority of people. 😀
