A reboot? Meh. JMS at the helm? Hmm, ok. On the CW, home of “Batwoman?” No thanks.

Babylon 5 Is Getting Rebooted, With J. Michael Straczynski at the Helm

I’d love to be proven wrong, but I bet that the villains will prove to be thinly veiled white supremacists. Half of the characters will be gay/trans. The actors will all be largely in their 20’s and Hollywood-attractive (i.e. pretty but generic and forgettable). The production value will probably be good, but the acting will make original B5 Season One look Shakespearean. Lots of women with blue hair, shaven on one side of their heads, shrieking about patriarchy.
