OT:Babylon 5 Season 2

[kingfish]

April 30 is the release date for the second season of this marvelous show. JMS is a great writer and the first to come up with a 5 year story ark. JMS also made sure there was an ending so the fans wouldn't have to surmise what happened. That's right. At the end of season 4 the show was cancelled by PTEN so JMS wrapped up the story.

Umm, B5 was never cancelled. PTEN, a sort of ad-hoc "network" created to distribute a series of WB shows to independent TV stations, dissolved and left B5 in the lurch for several months, hence the season 4 "ending." There WAS a season 5, however; for the 5th season the show was picked up by cable channel TNT, which also rebroadcast the first 4 seasons in daily strip format and showed the 13 episodes of the aborted sequel series "Crusade." Since then both shows have turned up on the SCI FI channel.
