Talking

I'd like to see ANYTHING from Babylon 5. Best show ever! Don't agree? Need proof?

Well, if Dr. Sheldon Cooper hates Babylon 5, then it must be good!

Don't have a face book page, (and never will if I can help it) so I can't like the page, but I'd buy that book when it comes out.

Sheldon (about Babylon 5) It fails as drama, science fiction, and it’s hopelessly derivative.

So we should send him a copy

I would definitely buy it. But I don't think that it will happen, no matter how much people do like it.

Well, with todays photo-books, we could make our own.

Also not on facebook...

I'd love to see a good book, but is thee any goo content? The stuff published at the time was fairly disappointing, just a mix of stills from the show and the usual publicity shots. (I think I am thinking of the B5 security manual in particular).

Otherwise I'm with Amras, we could do a better one...

There is a big difference between all that we have seen through normal channels for B5 and the stuff brought to light through Triple-F's web site, and Facebook works. And that is just scratching the surface really.

So... The content is definitely there to be used, it's just about pulling teeth to get people to cooperate and have a common vision. Then there are the layers of ego's and politics of some of those who you would need to get on-board.

So, I agree that it probably won't happen, but there is the ability to do it if everyone came together from the various sources.

I look at it like your recent book acquisition for the Science of 2001 ASO. Stuff you don't know existed until you come across it.

That does sound very positive.

Given the enduriong popularity, it might work well as a kickstarter, like "Beauty of Space"

The facebook page is a mirror of the original artwork site .

The original site features previously unreleased artwork plus
wide ranging and frank interviews with 16 FX artists and one
producer.

So for those that prefer the original website with artists
interviews here is the link :


http://www.themadgoner.com/B5/B5Scrolls/B5Scrolls.htm


Thanks to Tom Smith for this great archive of VFX content
from the artists who worked on the show.

Anything B5 would be cool. I sooooooo wish that it was popular enough to widescreen it all and redo the FX shots for Bluray, ala TNG but alas B5 never hit those heights. It should have done though.
