I can imagine something like Merlin (if you guys get that in the States). Or maybe more like the Worst Witch TV series, with general school-of-magic happenings.
A DVD boxset is only about £20 these days. Or you could fill in the ones you don't have by buying second hand off Amazon (my most favouritest way to acquire DVDs ^_^ ).Evil Smurf said:
Yeah, I'm disagreeing in the forums. None of these things should be rebooted - there's way too much original talent to be wasting time on stale old stuff. How about encouraging the next generation, rather than bloated nostalgia? TV is actually doing this right now with amazing shows like The Americans, Bob's Burgers, Girls and Enlightened, to mention only a few.
With such an embarrassing wealth of original new shows, why look to the past?

Should true grit have been rebooted? it differed from the original but was still amazing.
and dont forget that it is a hypothetical wish list.
an upadted and better acted B5? bruce-made in ikea-boxenlieter ffs and that was his highest water mark.
with more on the dilgar and minbari wars, more about the other races?
better CGI, more uber ship destroying battles. yeah sorry i need to change the ol boxers for a sec.
i can think of many things i have seen and at the time i was WOW awsome. and now tech has changed and also acting has changed those things could be even more awsome.
take a look at the old ww2 films. lots of stoic pricks not complaining about being used as cannon fodder, and every hit as a clean kill. saving pvt ryan took than, tossed it away and made it real for the first time. people were screaming, limbs were cut off, blood was shown. and now the old films are being revisitied and remade. same story, same events. more accurate

I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees it this way.Ukomba said:
And to stop this post from being completely meaningless, here's Londo Mollari's thoughts on the nature of humanity:

My problem with a Babylon 5 reboot is that I wouldn't want anybody else to play the characters, all the actors are just exactly perfect for the role (Although I will admit I was never fond of Ivanova's actress). Marcus played by somebody else? Garibaldi? Franklin? G'kar? Londo? Sheridan?
No thank you.
No thank you.
Fuck yeah they should reboot Gargoyles! Show was THE SHIT!
And make sure you bring Keith David back.

Man... rebooting B5 with modern special effects and maybe some more consistently good acting would be amazing. It's hands down my favorite Scifi series ever created. I even went on to absolutely love the what Staczynski had to offer. He had some amazing guest writers on that show as well. That would have been my personal number 1... but I still have the DVD's of the original and love them. I wouldn't mind seeing them released on bluray with a better screen resolution though.
B-5 would be hard simply because the actors who played those characters ARE those characters. I mean, yeah, they were known for other things, but come on. Who else could play off each other as well as the two who play G'kar and Londo (especially hard since one of them is no longer with us). And Walter Koeing as Mr. Bester. Best. Villain. Ever.
I would want to see a continuation of the series (no, that spin off show doesn't count and doesn't exist), going into the Telepath War that we're always warned about. Still, if they do reboot it, I'd check it out. I just hope that the characters don't suffer the same fate as that fighter pilot did: Companies meddling with character input and changing everyone to make them 'more appealing'.

Please, someone tell me what anime that image is from during the gargoyles segment. Guy with a sword in bamboo forest.
Also I really like the idea of a gargoyles reboot, and even the Harry Potter reboot has potential, but I'd prefer to see it as a recur, rather than a reboot. it is way too soon for people to accept anyone other than the actors/actresses who did the first one in the roles.

You have sound reasoning about Babylon 5, but I still think Deep Space Nine is better. I saw no Rene Auberjonois in Babylon 5.
I hear mention of Gargoyles a lot of the time and how awesome it is, but I have never seen it for myself... Maybe I should give in and look for it, but I'm not sure where to start.
I don't know the anime personally, but after looking around I think it might be Ninja scroll.spartan231490 said:
Never went anywhere!? The show was like a vortex of quantum particles channeled into a vacuum bombarded with anionspiscian said:
One of these days I'm going to have to try to watch Babylon 5 again. The first season pretty much killed my enthusiasm about that show(though my friend tells me it gets better).
I'd also be the first in line for a Babylon 5 reboot, best scifi series I've ever seen (and I have most of them). Only downside if the actors of G'Kar and Dr Franklin have passed away, and both of them were apart of the soul that made B5 what it is. However I'd still jump on the opportunity of seeing a good reboot, but it'd have to be Battlestar Galactica quality or better.
