I just happened to see that elsewhere - way more optimistic about this production than I had been before!

The only casting I'm not sure about from that thread is Patton Oswalt.

Kung Fu had a satisfying season finale, and a nice set up for the next season.

JMS is developing a Babylon 5 reboot for the CW. I guess it’s sci-fi nostalgia week. I think I feel a little better about this one than my previous post?

But where will they find the Amigas?

I don't know how to feel about either of those.
I don't think I ever did see all of Babylon 5 - it aired on an independent station at odd times (both in the sense that the times were inconvenient and they didn't stay the same from week to week) and I was working an irregular schedule myself at the time and I know I couldn't keep up regularly. I always meant to find what I had missed or probably watch the whole thing because by now I remember very little indeed but I never had, but I still have the vague sense that it was a show I liked that deserved better

I thought Babylon 5 did pretty well, at least where I am. They did have a fairly complete story arc, although I didn't see the ending until it was re-broadcast on a local station. It was pretty satisfying in that they tied up loose ends, gave characters their resolutions and so on.
I found it interesting that virtually all their special effects were CGI - very early on in the technology, but it worked well.

Babylon 5 is one of my faves. I love Londo and G'Kar - the way the relationship between them and their worlds twists and turns over the series. They're not the leads, of course, but they are the way secondary characters should be done. History, personality, serious character flaws. Well worth watching.

Russell T. Davies Will Return to Doctor Who After 12 Years
I'm looking forward to this if only because the Chibnall era has been so painfully bad. I wish Whittaker were sticking around for it, her Doctor deserved much better writing than she got.
