writes, Richard
Biggs (Dr. Stephen Franklin on Babylon 5) has
passed away. It was sudden, and just after he
woke up. I haven’t found a cause of death, but it
looks like stroke or aneurysm right now.

You can find the scoop at TV Shows on DVD. The Gathering,
In The Beginning, Thirdspace,
River of Souls, and A Call To Arms
are being released in a five DVD package on August
17, 2004. Additional specs and bonus features are
available through the link above.

JMS himself posted the few details he can currently
give to rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated in this
post. Let the rampant speculation begin.

Full details on the set can be found at this TV Shows on DVD page. The main point I’m
interested in is the release date: April 13, 2004, which should be very near the time I’ll be finishing my last degree. I think I know what I’ll be doing with that sudden surge of free time.

Anonymous Coward writes, Over at SciFi wire they
are reporting
that JMS is in negotiations to create a new Babylon 5
series. I love
B5, but I’m a little concerned after watching the last B5
movie
(Legend of the Rangers) that maybe he should leave well

alone. Watch this space mid-January.

Read the news here from TV Shows on DVD. All 13 episodes of
Babylon 5: Crusade are coming to DVD.
There will also be a boxed set of all of the Babylon
5 TV movies, including commentaries not included
on the existing In The Beginning/The
Gathering set. Also due out in 2004: Babylon
5: Season Four (due Jan. 6, 2004) and
Babylon 5: Season Five (not officially
announced, but a pretty safe bet by next Christmas.)
