    Thats correct. Galen was the techno mage...

    Which lead me to fear this film will be more Crusader than Babylon5, and I for one did not really find the whole Crusader spinn-off that great.

    It became to much of a Star Trek clone.....(One ship travelling through space encountering weird aliens...)

    Wheres the fun in that? B5 was all about grand campaign and universe-spanning alliances.

    BTW. The First B5 movie is really great(The one dealing with Earth-Minbari War). The other two less so.

    You're the reason the networks have to dumb down programming.

    I have to agree. Star Trek was completely ruined for me by Babylon 5. The whole 5 year arc concept is amazing - stuff that you see in the first season, which you think was mildly interesting, suddenly three seasons later becomes really important!

    Each time a season would come out, I'd loose two days to watching the entire thing. The final episode (Sleeping in Light) gets me every single time I watch it.

    I strongly recommend B5 to anyone who likes Sci-fi. Start in season 1 and work your way forwards. It makes far more sense this way. Watch the movies (other than the pilot) AFTER you watch the series. Avoid the temptation of "In the Beginning". It is better that way, in my opinion.
