Main article: Babylon 5: The Lost Tales

A new project set in Babylon 5 universe was announced by Straczynski at San Diego Comic Con 2006.[23] Babylon 5: The Lost Tales will be a set of mini-stories featuring established characters from the series. The project is intended to be a straight-to-video DVD release; however, there is possible interest from one of the major US TV networks, as well. The production of the first anthology of two stories, named collectively Voices in the Dark, commenced in November 2006 with Straczynski writing, producing, and directing.

Sweetness!

Which reminds me, I saw Bruce Boxleitner on an episode of Cold Case. He only had a bit part in it & I spent the whole episode waiting for him to tell someone to get the hell out of his galaxy, but it was good to see him again.
And that reminds me of the fact that I recently saw Alan Tudyk playing a pedophile on CSI, and I was all like? wtf? He likes the brown sugar!

Man I really feel bad now. I did not know that Andreas Katsulas had died last February. I don't recall if any one here had mentioned this.

After a long illness, Andreas died on
Monday, February 13th, 2006.

Quote:

In early 2005, Katsulas, who, in the words of Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski, "loved smoking with a passion that cannot be described," was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer; he died a year later, in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 59. He is survived by his wife and two children.

Thats two down from the B5 family.

That... But... G'Kar died? It can't be! Why was I not informed. That sucks.

Um... Who else from B5 has died?

The dude who played Zatherus was also killed in 2004 in a motorcycle accident. WTH!!!

And the Richard Biggs died form a brain hemorrhage or something in 04 as well.

Its hard to believe that most of the actors who played in B5 are now in their upper 50's. Mira (sp) is the only one with a regular gig and thats on LOST. And did you know Claudia Christenson posed in the October 1999 issue of Playboy Mag!!! Again I say WTH!!

Mr. Morden did a bit on 24 as did the Jerry Doyles ex-wife (Blond telepath Tala Winters.)

Jerry Doyle (Mr. Garaboldy) has his own radio show. LINK Its a political show.

I felt really sad when I heard that news. I really liked him and Dr. Franklin was one of my favorite characters.

Mine too. He died so suddenly that it caught a lot of people off guard. He had two sons and a wife as well.

God you just get heart sick when you read about such good actors dying off like this. Three of them. Hell even TOS still has 5 of its seven main actors still alive. (Note to self, update dead pool.)

Franklin? But he was like, young! Man, this is seriously depressing. I'm going to go live in denial and watch some classic B5.
