At this point, President Santiago has died in a convenient accident and the newly appointed President Clark begins to work to please his shadowy associates. Captain Sinclair has mysteriously been put aside and sent away and the Star Killer has been appointed his successor.
In the last few days I've been re-watching Babylon 5. Yes, yes, the graphics scream '1991' but the story and, most of all, the characters, grab you (or at least grabbed me) and are believable and human -including some of those aliens with the rubber masks and the make up- and none of the imperfections of the show matter.
I'm learning that JMS wants to reboot or redo B5. That would be a difficult task. Worked with BSG because the original was almost a joke. It obviously wouldn't be the same cast, nearly thirty years on (many of whom are no longer with us) and maybe not the same characters. We'll see.
B5 is showing on Amazon -apparently you don't need to be on Prime to watch it but you have to endure commercials (ah, it's good to have a mute button).
