This being the last B5 production (it was released in 2007) it's the closest thing to what a remaster of the TV show would look like. The file was 1600x900 and was upscaled to 1920x1080 with Topaz Video Enhance AI.
With so many B5 actors gone, and now last in row, Delenn (Mira Furlan) gone, i see no more hope for new B5 that will ever happen. Nevertheless B5 will always have special place in my heart, as one of best Scifi series ever. Rest in peace all those who passed and moved outside the Galaxy!.

I was so sad when I learned Mira Furlan had passed away because I was in the middle of watching the show for the first time. It was sad seeing her performance right after she died
@ She had such strong aura around her. If i must say three-or four characters that were pillars of B5, Delenn, Sheridan, Londo and G'Kar were the only four that are the four pillars there. I was sad as well, Mira is from my country and it hit me very hard. I know some of her earlier roles before she came to US.
Well Reboot is happening. If the reboot is at least half as good as the original it's going to be a good scifi show. If old actors appear, Boxleitner should either be an Admiral, the father of NuSheridan, or an Actor, visiting Babylon 5 to shot a movie there.
@@lykan2 Darnit i must living in cave not knowing reboot is happening, well, i am big fan of original but i will give it try when released, but no new actors can replace the original b5 crew, nope not in 100 years.

It's amazing how much the quality of the cgi improved from the mid to late 1990's (the original show) to 2007 (when this was filmed). I love the landing bay interior and how convincing its cavernous size is depicted. I read that the cgi "models" were fan based ones due to the orignals already being archived by Warner Bros. Can't wait to see how the original design concepts are updated for the reboot!
@@daniel_f4050 Rest assured, JMS ain't JJ Abrams; a visually updated Babylon 5 would be devoid of the excesses of the "JJ prise".

I could never understand how Babylon 5 was considered a navigation hazard and blown up. It could have still been used as an outpost of some type, sold off to someone who wanted to use it as a merchant trading hub, or whatever. It's the only thing that bugged me about the series. I love Babylon 5 as a TV series.
Seriously, make it a goddamn museum. It was a place where history had been made. One of the most important places of the younger races. But for story reasons, and to book end it, they destroyed it. It took up operation in the pilot, it was destroyed in the finale.
You underestimate what it takes to maintain even modest earthly facilities and vessels. The real issue is that all the debris they made is likely a greater Hazzard than an intact station would be.
It was symbolic to destroy it. It wasn't required anymore. However, I thought they should have just dismantled it rather than blowing it up so that they could recycle the materials.
Something I didn't realize the first time. Sheridan and Ventari aren't wearing spacesuits in their starfuries? That seems a huge safety risk. Maybe 'furies have gotten a lot safer in 10 years.
the Furies are pressurized. Sheridan even tells Ventari that since they are not going into combat they should be fine. Sheriden was also planning on "accidentally" shooting Ventari and if he was in a pressure suit it would be harder to kill him and still make it look like an accident
We will just have to hope that the reboot gets some good actors and a good story, won’t expect it to be as good as the original but I hope it will be good
Later today in the evening I'll continue to look at the Babylon 5 that I have on DVD disk. I have all 5 seasons from seasons 1 to 5 and some of the B5 movies as well. Box where it says B5 season 1 is the DVD covers with the DVDs inside and so are season 2 etc and the B5 movies I have on DVD ☺ Yes, sad that most of the people who played a role in Babylon 5 died and are not among us anymore 😢

the station was largely disused as it had allready served its porpouse .. its functions as diplomacy center and comerce had moved to other hubs allready mostly in several planets and the station had been returned to full Earth Alliance control.. it had been decaying in ocupation steadily for a long time by the time of its decomission so it was safe to asume it was long deserted by lurkers..and they surelly did several checks before shutting it down and evacuating..

I hope the reboot fails badly and serves as a lesson that some films/series cannot be improved so they should actually get original writers with talent rather than keep sucking on the reboot teat
As much as I would like new B5 content, I'd rather have a proper remaster than a reboot because I can't think of a better G'kar than Andreas Katsulas or a better Londo than Peter Jurasik, and that counts for every other character
@ Both could be done parallel, but I doubt they will spend the needed money in a proper remaster, as these cgi`s are mostly to old and in to bad/low resolution, also this AI upscalling to 16:9 Full HD is not cheap I guess. I think its to expensive all in all. By any chance for B5 i would see the money go to a reboot of some kind. But can still hope and wait that one or the other might happen, no? :)

I just love those shots with the warlock class.
that was the best shot of one i wish they showed up in season 5 though
Considering how advanced they're supposed to be, the Centauri cruisers destroyed them pretty easily.
I really miss this show
It's one of the best shows ever made imo
well its getting a reboot
Not how I feel about the reboot. Like to see it updated CGI but redo of the show. I will give it a shot.

Personally I’m hoping they don’t “reboot” the ship designs like they did in JJ’s Star Trek. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

"I read that the cgi "models" were fan base"
No. Those were recreated specifically for this direct-to-DVD production. All still done in Lightwave 3D.
Would have loved to see a Centauri earth war play out.

And Garibaldi jumped into a Starfury without a suit to prevent Sheridan's assassination in "No Compromises." He also worried about the same thing.
Best sci-fi show ever
Very good series. RIP everyone, crew and cast who passed on
Amen 🙏
i liked the lockley part of the story best. the idea is so entertaining.
G'Kars voice speaks to the heart.
Jesus that music with no warning was a stab in the heart... dammit onion cutters.
Seven
What?
We have seven. One is like "eh, eh, eh" and five is like "UH, UH, UH," and SEVEN is like...
Okay, okay, I get it!
Man I wish the original show could be reworked to incorporate the new CGI, it would look beyond incredible!

Haven’t seen any good reboot. Only dune is the exception for me.
look beautiful
I would of loved to see more on the Earth vs Centauri conflict but i am not sure if that was just what could of happened in one of there futures!
it was just a "would been" it was adverted
This was made in 2007? The cg looks modern!!!
New B5 coming soon to CW.
bizarre request but the drum loop at around 3:12, does anyone have any idea where its from? ive been looking on tones of music packs for ages......
I have no clue sorry
@ No worries man, i need to roll the dice and hope that one day a composer sees my comment :)
Lost Tales did get a soundtrack release, and from what I remember, it was a complete release.
How would Earth do against the Centauri without the Warlocks in a war?

I heard they were rebooting the show wonder if thats true
Yes it is, JMS confirmed it
It was a great short but the CGI was baddddd.
Yes it was a good series, try the expanse guys and gals, very very good series too.
I tried it but near the end of season 1 it got pretty boring. I think I'll give it another chance in the future
I liked this t.v. show, but I know how to separate real from fiction.
