Binge-watched the show for the first time when it was added to HBO Max and absolutely loved it. And adore the hell out of John/Delenn. Susan's also one of my favorites!

Not sure how I feel about this but the fact that the original creator is involved is a big plus.

I love Scifi. I've seen every Trek movie and show several times, Star Wars, countless movies and show.... I think Susan is my favorite woman in Scifi ever. Best female line in any scifi, hands down.

Is this the resurface of syndication/canadian/low budget shows?

What's next? Andromeda? HEX? Highlander? Relic Hunter? Legend of the Seeker?

I loved Highlander!

Babylon 5 is above that category

if the CW gods are reading this, I'd like to throw out: Edgemont, Ready or Not, Breaker High, and Student Bodies

I liked the first Commander, Jeffrey Sinclair better.

I wasn‘t aware how unpopular that opinion is. Don‘t care, he‘s still my fave

I liked him a lot too. It felt weird they replaced him but it later came out he had serious mental health issues, and had to quit to try to get treatment. He passed away later of a heart attack.

If JMS is the one rebooting this, then I am on board. The series was amazing when it aired, would be fascinating to see how JMS re-visions this.

this is legitemately one of my favourite shows, maybe even THE all time favourite show. it made me a sci-fi fan. it's also one of the examples that you can actually write more or less an entire show, from start to finish, and not just one season then make shit up as you go if it sticks... wish more showrunners were as thorough lol.

that said, not sure if we need this reboot. and the cw? weird choice.
