The beloved Babylon 5 is getting rebooted, and series creator JMS is running the show

J. Michael Straczynski : Babylon 5 is in active development as a series for the CW ... this is a reboot from the ground up rather than a continuation, for several reasons ... {the } tradition for innovation will continue in this new iteration, and I hope to create additional new forms of storytelling that will further push the television medium to the edge of what’s possible.

Warner Bros said : In a from-the-ground-up reboot of the original series, John Sheridan, an Earthforce officer with a mysterious background, is assigned to Babylon 5, a five-mile-long space station in neutral space, a port of call for travelers, smugglers, corporate explorers and alien diplomats at a time of uneasy peace and the constant threat of war. His arrival triggers a destiny beyond anything he could have imagined, as an exploratory Earth company accidentally triggers a conflict with a civilization a million years ahead of us, putting Sheridan and the rest of the B5 crew in the line of fire as the last, best hope for the survival of the human race.

Zathras will be glad

I can’t really connect with stories composed entirely of dysfunctional idiots. It devolves into a story about stupid people shooting themselves in the foot.

Besides, it isn’t realism at all, at least not in my experience. At least outside the Biden administration anyway.
