FINALLY!!!
It’s out – the much anticipated new Babylon 5 movie – Babylon 5 The Lost Tales – and man does it look AWESOME.
I have yet to watch the whole thing (yet). In this slow scifi season truth is i’m starved for SciFi so i’m going to savor this masterpiece on Friday then again on Saturday.
The real test for this movie is not how awesome it is – but rather how well it does in sales.
I believe that the straight to DVD model works and is the salvation for great SciFi. No network wanted to back JMS and no studio would finance a wide theatre release – but who need that?
We’ve all got good screens and what would we rather have – great SciFi or shlock on a big screen?
Here’s hoping this is a massive success and spawns a whole series of straight to DVD Babylon 5 movies.
Show Me SciFi 
I would agree about the sf market being dry. More so, the genre has been in a serious drought for the past several years. After Farscape – Peacekeeper’s War, SW:III, Firefly and Senerity there has been very little to get excited. BSG has been quite excellent up till the third season but the trail of Baltar, revelation of the new cylons, and the back from the dead Starbuck is not quality story telling. I have never been excited about SG1 or SG Atlantis by either the storyline or characters. Even the Scifi Channel needs to look at its programming and needs to re-energize the scifi community and ignite our imaginations.
