I'd better get on through the boxed set, then. Only about 60 hours to go.

Well you still got a while to go, shooting is expected to start next year and this kind of film will require a lot of post-production adding special effects. Which is why the release date is expected to be 2016.

Shame several of the cast have passed on.

Didn't know the original commander had a mental health problem and was seeing things and thats why he decided to go and be replaced,

Yes, I previously heard it was due to illness but not any details.

It does make me wonder what the orginal story line would have been had O'hare not become ill. He would still be Commander but would then leave to became Valen. This would be after B5 had broken from Clarks Earth Alliance. Was the plan always to bring in Sheridan or would Ivanova have replaced him as B5 Commander.

A storyline from inside Clark's Earth Alliance, the Earth Based Resistence would have be good. It could include earth based action and pew pew.
