- Babylon 5: The Lost Tales ★★★☆☆ It’s mixed. The first segment is essentially a bottle episode. The second is much stronger, and feels like a real return to Babylon 5

- What the Hell Happened To Crusade: What the Hell Happened?
I stumbled on “Crusade: What the Hell Happened? vol.1” while packing, and wondered what happened to book 2. Apparently Iââ¬â¢m not the only one wondering that.
- Whatever Happened to B5: Crusade?
Ever since J. Michael Straczynski started selling his Babylon 5 script book series, I’ve been hoping we’d get a book with the scripts from the spinoff Crusade. Especially the scripts that were finished, but never produced, and would have set up the real story. That whole thing about finding a cure for the Drakh plague […]
- More B5 Books: Babylon 5 Chronology
Wow.  The Babylon 5 Scripts team keeps finding more ways to get my money.  The latest: The Chronologies of Babylon 5.  And it includes every single piece of B5 canon, down to the six short stories JMS wrote after the series ended and even the unproduced Crusade scripts. The script books have mostly been interesting for […]
- B5 Script Series Shutting Down
I just got an email with the reminder that J. Michael Straczynski’s Babylon 5 Script Book Series is going out of print at the end of the month. Monday, June 30 is the last day. It’s hardly a surprise, since the series was always advertised as a limited edition. The weird thing is that they’re […]
- Babylon 5 Scripts: The Bonus Volume
Hard to believe, but J. Michael Straczynski’s Babylon 5 Script Books are almost done. Volume 13 of 14 just shipped (my copy arrived today by UPS), and it’s time to talk about the bonus volume 15, only available to people who’ve bought a complete set. This is the book that has alternate versions of several […]
- Londo/GâKar in 2008!
This just showed up in my email from Babylon 5 Scripts: From JMS’s Cafe Press store (the same site through which he’s selling his script books with commentary): With the coming 2008 elections, there aren’t a lot of candidates we can agree upon. So as a public service, we are now providing a slate of […]
- Drazi Drinks
Last week, after going out to see Superman Returns, we wandered over to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. I ordered the new honeydew ice blended drink. Katie ordered the pomegranate-blueberry drink. When we picked them up from the counter, though, the combination struck us both as funny: Yes, they were green and purple.
- B5 Scripts
JMS’ new site is getting more interesting all the time. Or rather, what he’s selling through the site. It started out as a 15-volume set of all of JMS’ Babylon 5 scripts, but it’s turned into, in Straczynski’s words, the definitive “Making of B5,” complete with production notes, backstage photos, introductions to each episode, etc. […]
- His people are coming
You know that new site selling JMS’ Babylon 5 scripts? Within 48 hours, fans subscribing to the announcement list filled up the database. The remark in that message is a variation on a line JMS would use when he told stories about trying to get a big enough room for B5 events at conventions: “My […]
- Cancellations: Fallen Angel & B5
Fallen Angel is ending with #20, and Babylon 5: The Memory of Shadows has fallen through. However, JMS has always said, “If they can do a Brady Bunch movie, you can be sure that sooner or later, somebody’s going to do a B5 movie.” Even better, it turns out that while Warner Bros. owns the […]
- Comics YOU Should Be Reading!
Yes, you! Girl Genius, by Phil and Kaja Foglio: “A gaslamp fantasy with adventure, romance, and mad science.” It’s a continuing steampunk adventure/comedy set in an alternate 19th century where warring mad scientists (or “sparks” as they’re called to their faces) have devastated Europe. Graduate student Agatha Clay belatedly discovers her own “spark” as she […]
