When I read this headline on another site I almost decided to overdose on ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and hot baths and end it all, but then I thought about it. JMS is anal about B5, he isn't agreeing to make anything unless he has very favorable terms and can basically make what he wants. He's making it, running it, and writing it, so if anything gets fucked up its on him. Possible, but as much as B5 is his baby, I don't see it.

exactly. he's let the IP languish for decades because he refused to sell out his vision. there's no way he didn't negotiate full artistic control like he did the first time around.

i'm curious if he'll stick with the story of the original show, or if he'll go with the original story bible which was much different. i hope the latter - the show was very compromised towards the end because they didn't know if they were gonna get a season 5 until very late so wrapped up all the major story threads at the end of season 4. as a result season 5 was largely throwaway garbage. also originally there was no john sheridan - it was supposed to be sinclair the whole way until Michael o'hare had to step away due to severe mental issues.
