Maybe its like the B5 sequels. The people with the money telling the producers what to do OR worse, 'Marketing' people (talk about being out of touch with mainstream life)!!!

Huh? No one told JMS what to do with his B5 movie from last year. Which was very good light B5. Testing the water and seeing if there was demand, which there wasn't because everyone just P2P the movie and cheated JMS out revenue so thats the reason there won't be any more B5 movies.

I'm inclined to disagree because, despite the pirating, the orders for the DVD were several times more than expected. Now back in 2007 JMS asked the studio to speed up production, but the studio said the guild wouldn't strike. When they did, production was placed on hold and I think it still remains in development hell at the moment.

I was refering to the series "Rangers" (or something like that, maybe it was "Crusader"

). The studio played all the episodes out of order to the point they made no sense.

MJS was not happy!!!

Huh, there's not going to be more Babylon 5 mini-movies?

Legend of the Rangers was a movie he made that was meant to be another spin off, but didn't do very well thus no spin-off.

B5: Crusade was the horrible attempt at a spin-off right after B5 that was random and completely different from everything else that B5 had even set a precident for.

Crusade was 100% network interference. They wanted it dumbed down, sexed up, and cheaper to make.

At least they didn't fire JMS and kept the series going as some horrible relative to Andromeda.

I just remember my buddies telling me that the "powers to be" hosed over the show. I never got a chance to actually see it myself.

Last nights episode of BSG really reached new depths... [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon27.gif[/img] I hope when the cylons get to earth they eliminate the writers!!!

Sorry to be a spoilsport, but I didn't like the new BSG serie from the beginning. The first episode (when the Cylons destroyed the diplomatic station, or whatever it was) was absolutely cool. But as soon as the story introduced multiple copies of characters I lost interest. Also the camera-work during battles is in my opinion horrendous. I don't like the constant panning, zooming and rotating. I want to concentrate on the beautiful models the CGI crew created. Later on, as RandallW said, I got irritated by the dull episodes. So I stopped watching.
Ah well, everyone his or her own fault.

For me, BSG is kind of a... "I have nothing better to do at that time on that day, so it keeps me from being (extraordinarily) bored."

Not a ringing endorsement.
