That's how I feel as well. A recasted Lochley would be the only one who I would want to be a big part of the show. Sheridan and Deleen with orginal actors maybe for the pilot and that's about it.

When you think of it, B5 spanned about a 30 year span from “In The Beginning” to “Sleeping in the Light”, plus a few flashbacks and flashforwards.
More or less true except for "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars" as that episode took place circa 1 002 262.
That’s why I said a few flashforwards. We even saw an event 1,000 years before the series.
I understand where you are coming from but the episode was framed as a history of events that took place in 2262, 2362, 2762 and 3262. As our point of view character was viewing archives of those events, the episode itself is set in 1 002 262 so to me they are not flash forwards as to me a flash forward is seeing an event that is yet to occur relative to our point of view character(s).
They are flashbacks. The main POV character is the Vorlon-like transhuman, who demonstrates that humanity eventually recovers from the Great Burn. In fact, the whole series can be interpreted as a drama-documentary reconstructing historic events.
It’s amazing just how many callbacks this show has. In early first season Sinclair says the reason we need Babylon 5 is so when the sun explodes we aren’t gone forever. Then they actually follow that thread to its end.
Paid for by the Anla'shok memorial fund.
That's a surprise. A happy one at that.
As someone who just subscribed to AP last night (And bought the series digitally on Itunes a week and a half ago), I wish Crusade was on Prime. I do plan to see that again after I get through the current rewatch.
I have the movies. I don't have Legends of the Rangers or Lost Tales though.
I think Amazon allows you to buy them like the other movies. I think they offer access to everything except "Crusade." for some reason. A am kind of curious thought why they haven't added Hercules and Xenia and Farscape. I have noticed they are starting to add lots of older stuff, proably because Netflix got ride of them years ago and no longer found them useful. I would really love to see Earth 2 and Space Above and Beyond as well. I have no idea why "Fringe" or Alias" you can't get either. Must be a Abrams reason for it. I did like how they added "Eureka" and show I never watched but want to in "Chuck."

I'm watching Walkabout now and I love the music in this episode. I wonder why a soundtrack to the series was never released.
They're fairly mediocre and aren't essential viewing IMO. LotR is a pilot for a series that didn't get picked up. It has an odd and unintentionaly hilarious depiction of an advanced weapons system. The LT stories were pretty talky and overall meh. Only for completists.
Soundtracks to multiple episodes and the movies were released.
Including "Walkabout", actually.

I was left with this horrible feeling that JMS struck gold with the B5 series but that the rest of his work on the franchise was a not-entirely-successful attempt to recapture that magic. Half of the movies and LotR didn't really do much for me, and years later I still haven't seen LT. :/
