   (double-posting over here because i'm unsure whether anyone's still behind   
   the helm of the moderated group)   
      
   		...this is 100% a love letter to fandom of the original series and i   
   loved it like a kid on christmas morning!..   
      
   	...my immediate reaction as the credits roll:  it's as well-made as   
   amazon's *ex machina*, but so steeped in original-series lore (and winks)   
   that i'm skeptical uninitiated audiences might appreciate the   
   narrative...the production is top-notch nonetheless - and possibly a   
   backdoor pilot for the reboot?..   
   	...the new voice actors for characters whose original players have sadly   
   passed on were very good!..it feels like it's cut from the same cloth as   
   seasons two/three/four; very much a welcomed visit from warmly-missed old   
   friends...   
      
   	...television and audiences have changed tremendously over the past   
   quarter century, but any trepidation i had of the stumbling end with which   
   babylon 5 greeted the new millenium is fully ameliorated:  this is *good*   
   it the way that everything after season four deserved...
