Babylon 5 Direct-To-DVD Project In Production

ajs writes "As previously announced, 'Babylon 5: The Lost Tales' is a direct-to-DVD project based on the popular series from the mid-1990s. Lost Tales first DVD, titled 'Voices of the Dark' has now begun production. As usual, J. Michael Straczynski and Doug Netter will be running the show with Straczynski directing. The characters, President John Sheridan (Boxleitner), Captain Elizabeth Lochley (Scoggins) and the technomage Galen (Woodward) are returning. The Lost Tales is an anthology series of sorts with two movies (previously three) per DVD starting in 2007. Straczynski has commented on Usenet that a more CG-intensive installment is coming in the next batch, featuring the character of Michael Garibaldi (Doyle)."

Success!

Lets hope this will be as big of a success as one of Mr Straczynski's earlier projects, Captain Power and the soldiers of the Future. [wikipedia.org]

The rest could probably be skipped.

In particular, God kills a kitten every time someone watches TKO [midwinter.com].

All of the Sci-Fi series that have started to get traction sense, in particular Firefly, Stargate and Firefly have benefited from it leading the way.

But what about Firefly? You forgot about that series.

Straight to video!!

CGI and Garibaldi

[Sponge Bath]

They could give him some CGI hair. Maybe a mullet.

I guess they can't bring back Ivonova.
From her statements on the DVD set commentary, she plumped up like Jabba the Hut.

...her almost insignificant parts on other shows since B5

Woah now.
Are you calling her role in Rade Serbedzija's Ulysses Theatre Company's production of Euripides' Medea insignificant?
Croatian theater rocks the Casbah!

>>I suppose Karl Rove is avid fan for character Mr. Morden :-)

One day can i have Rove's head mounted on a pole as a warning to the next few generations that twisting the truth only gets your head twisted off. so i can smile and wave at it?

I can only assume that either she asked for too much money to return, or she ticked somebody off during her time on the show. After seeing a glimpse of her temper, and her almost insignificant parts on other shows since B5, I think I know the answer.

I can imagine her response in words:

"Only one human has ever survived asking me that question. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your life... be somewhere else."
