OT: Babylon 5

The producers of Stargate did not want to make a second movie. The reports of a second and third movie are not true. The two producers of Stargate SG1 were from the new Out Limits show. They approached Showtime with the idea. Since the move franchise had no intention of making a second movie, and felt that a series would do more for the concept than a second movie, the go ahead was given.

I just watched a special on the making Stargate SG1.

WEll, that's not what I read. But it was a couple of years ago, so I might have forgotten something. But I am pretty sure that what I read said that they did want to do a trilogy. Maybe they changed their mind later. I still would have rather seen 2 more movies though. It would be a lot easier to watch the DVD's occassionally than trying to fight the wife over watching the Sci-Fi channel on Friday nights (I don't have the showtime package).

Also, I heard recently that Independence Day 2 is going to me made. I wish that would have been made this time than "8 legged freaks". I barely got through Arachnophia, I can't image watching 2 hours of 10+ feet tall spiders. That I'll wait until comes on cable.

From what I understand, at first they had planned to do a sequal, but when they were able to get it turned into a series they decided that was the better route. Aren't they planning to do another movie?

After watching Enterprise - _very_ well made, much better then DS9, Voyager or even TNG, IMHO - I thung that what Babylon5 needs is a prequel.

Just imagine - first contact with Centauri, who claim to be more civilized humans and try to enslave humanity. Then some hot babe uses the tip from Narn and provokes Centauri Ambassodar to reveal that he has, humm, six, huummm..
The following interstellar scandal frees Earth but almost imediately Dilgar invades. The brave Earth warriors save the Galaxy. The serial ends with Earth ship boldly go where no man has gone before - to the Minbari space...
