Funny you should mention this... I just finished my B5 marathon this last month. Only thing left is "Crusade" (It's the spin-off, Panzer88).

Some of the best Sci-Fi ever. The acting was a little weak at times, but over all, it really had some depth and character that Star Trek didn't have. Star Trek was too stiff, wheres B5 had more emotion. Good show...Good times...*memories*.

I'm thinking of buying the books that finish the story of Centauri Prime and The Telepath War after Season 5 ended. I feel that they needed to close those story arcs before they ended the series, but oh well.

*puts my "inner sci-fi nerd" away*

the thing about it even though at times felt so dorky, is that it had a level of realism. Star Trek lived in a Utopian world that will never come. The world of B5 was gritty, but believable (in the sci-fi sense of the word)

if Crusade had went longer it would've touched on those two threads Im sure. Well it had to.

Too bad there is no more G'Kar. That pretty much puts the brakes on any future live-action productions.

I remember reading the actor passed away in 2006 from lung cancer, I believe. It's really too bad too, Gkar was a great character.

There was a new movie planned "The Memory of Shadows" but was cancelled in 2005. It would of connected to the short lived TV series Crusade. There still trying to dig up money for it giving possibility it may yet be produced.
