Haven't posted an image in a few years(?)

Here is a scene of 2 Narn cruisers chasing a shadow ship above the rings of an ice planet.

Never expected that.  :D

B5 was fun back then and i was ~18 when the series started 1993!?

Imagine a reboot/rebirth with a new cast and overall set/dialog/acting/directing and FX quality's of something like "Game Of Thrones"..

"HBO.., DO YOU HEAR ME ?!"

I'm sorry, but no! Please for the love of humanity, under no circumstances touch or remake Babylon 5; that is fine just the way it is! It is some what alarming with folks to day who want to remake the classics, because of this or that; frankly this need to remake or reboot every thing is not only tiered already, but just need to stop, end of story.

I can not fathom how an award winning, pioneering show like Babylon 5 could be improved; of course it had its flaws but then again what doesn't? It was what it was and nothing else.     

There are to many people in this world to day who think that every thing, from long ago should be remade, regardless of weather or not it should and what you could end up with is some thing far worse then the original. My point is people every thing dates and CGI dates faster then well done practical miniatures.

There are too many people with short attention spans, ADHD (or what ever the hell they call bad behavior in future?) and an over inflated sense of self impotence and entitlement driven by a narcissistic need to run the internet when they've not taken their medication and have no intention of completing the court ordered therapy. These people you find engaged in flame wars and other lollygagging every where from Facebook to the lobbies of Xbox live, these people make people who've used computers since the days of the first Micro-computers in the 1980s and been into movies and all things about Science Fiction culture for-even longer, sick!

I am more then a little tiered of reading rhetorical nonsense from 13 yr old kids with the intellectual capacity of a Grasshopper and the reading comprehension of a subnormal walrus; who are Winny little good for nothings who are so jaded by what they see in Xbox games that they say about any motion picture that comes out, that it sucked and that such and such a game already did that plot and had better graphics...all I can say to that is...Really, who the hell cares?

There are only so many plots and sub-plots that can be done and variations on them, so many meaningful ways to write words on a page; this is entertainment people not literature 101; so for both the love of all things humane and for the peace of mind of use grumpy people, who are long past caring and way past apathy...give us a break!

Like Bugs Bunny Said in the 1943 production [Falling Hair] Whats all the hubbub, bub?

Sorry for the rant, just saying what I feel!

Regards to you

Don't wanted to hit someones fan nerf nor i wanted to derail the OP, sry.

Normally i hate!!! most remakes too..

But B5 is a classic for just a few tolerant Sci-Fi fans and deserved more attention in my opinion.

The problem with B5 is/was that the series came up in a time without viral networks or internet (for international fanbases fortunes) and was badly influenced and thus not original because some kind of "Star Trek - Next Generation" storytelling/screenwriting (local/personal issues changes with much bigger threats/problems).

Also wasn't the style/look some kind of "retro" or special enough to be something "very" special beside the story and universe itself in my opinion.

The universe of B5, it's dense and epicness, could be much bigger and could work better if respelled/told again in a new modern and elaborated frame/defined format now with actual VFX possibilities.  ;)
