Supposedly JMS is/was working on this abortion. The original show was great and done right the first time. We don’t need a retelling of Sheridan’s story or the Shadow War. I’m not really worried about it being woke as much as the Marvelification of the story. B5 worked because it was a character driven show and all the characters were complex and showed growth from Season 1 to 5.
In a from-the-ground-up reboot of the original series, John Sheridan, an Earthforce officer with a mysterious background, is assigned to Babylon 5, a five-mile-long space station in neutral space, a port of call for travelers, smugglers, corporate explorers and alien diplomats at a time of uneasy peace and the constant threat of war. His arrival triggers a destiny beyond anything he could have imagined, as an exploratory Earth company accidentally triggers a conflict with a civilization a million years ahead of us, putting Sheridan and the rest of the B5 crew in the line of fire as the last, best hope for the survival of the human race.
But in the current environment(never mind the monstrous shoes they'd have to fill for some characters - Londo and G'kar? Good fucking luck there), I can only hope it never sees the light of day.
...and for the record, I'm still salty as fuck that Crusade was canceled.

Leave it alone!
I can see how this might have been a good thing.
Once.
