Babylon 5: Lost Tails

[Volaran]

Man I hate Lochley but I'll have to grab this. Is the rest of the cast minus G'Kar and the Doctor in it?

Speaking roles include a Priest (Father Cassidy), Lochley, a Security Guard, another station staff member/thing, a reporter, Sheridan, Galen, and Centauri Prince Regent Vintari. That would be all that come to mind.

Have it, watched it.

Two vignettes, a pair of small, almost quiet stories with minimal interaction with known/established events, concerns or mysteries.

There is a very nice tribute to G'Kar and the Doctor, both their characters and the actors.

But, the sock puppets????

It was an ongoing joke during early interviews about the Lost Tails.

I'd agree that the homage to G'kar and Steven (the doctor) was touching, but I was disappointed in the movie. As pieces of a bigger episode, they would have been great. One of the things that made B5 so much fun was the multiple layers of stories in each episode. This had NONE of that. I liked the Lochley story...nice little spin at the end, but I found Sheridan's story all too predictable. Still, I bought it and I will buy another if we are lucky enough to get more. Bad B5 is better than no B5.

I think they were trying to make these stand alone and perhaps gather new fans. Note the lack of any mention of the older races, and few mentions of any of the events of the series. Sadly, this interfered with the layering of stories.

The Vorlons do get a mention

Spoiler

when they talk about where the technology for accessing "Quantum Space", though the Vorlons had always been shown to use standard hyperspace previously.

G'Kar I think so but the guy that played the Doctor, passed away a couple of years ago.

Andreas Katsulas (G'kar) is also dead, which is why I believe Flexor excluded him. The only regular characters from Babylon 5 and Crusade who are in this edition of the Lost Tales are Sheridan, Lochley and Galen.

That sucks. I was at least hoping for Londo, Vir, Garabaldi, or some of the others. Just those 3 kind of sucks. Oh well I'm sure I'll still buy it.

I watched it. It was pretty good.

I expected it to be a movie, but it was really just two Babylon 5 episodes that loosely fit together.

As the first begins, Lockley is preparing for Sheridan to arrive for a 10th anniversary celebration of the interstellar alliance.

As the second begins, Sheridan is arriving for said celebration.

Still, it was two more B-5 episodes, one focusing on Lockley and one focusing on Sheridan and Galen so it's hard to complain about that
