Wouldn't it be cool? OR Who would like that?

in Babylon 5
Hello there,
as a lot of You guys know, the produced Crusade episodes will come in a DVD-Box.
I thin ka lot of Your guys read the unfilmed scripts of the missing Episodes!
Here is the Question:
Wouldn't ist be cool, if those scripts would be filmed exclusive for the DVD-Box?
I know that this would be quite expensive but I believe for the Price of a season Box of Babylon5 a whole lot of people would buy it and maybe would bring some fresh blood to the series.
Who knows? Maybe someone thinks, that it would be worth spending some Money on the series to produce more episodes?
Maybe enough to finance the complete series?
Of course that also depends on JMS if he would like to write the scripts for the episodes...
Well let me hve some feedback for it!
THX A LOT!

Maybe they could do an animated representation?
Though a realistic wish of mine for the DVD Boxset would be including the unproduced scripts with it.
Not a bad idea, too!
But PLEASE not like Starship Troopers...that was the worst animated thing I ever saw.
Then at least in a quality like Final Fantasy for example!
Agreed?
Also, I don't see what's bad about Roughnecks. I watched that a while back, thought it was pretty decent!

:mad: WTF is that supposed to mean?
Maybe you wanna I should come slap your @$$ in a chair for 12-16 hours a day to meet a totally animated series deadline each week?!?
:alien:
As for the unproduced Crusade episodes, it's a nice thought, but it will NEVER happen.
A single episode would cost in the high 6- or low 7-figures to produce, and that kind of money just isn't spent for DVDs, even high-profile ones.
And that's not even considering hiring actors for short-term contracts, rebuilding sets, etc.
A nice dream, but that's all it is.
Worf
I was gonna try and rally interest in my project idea after I'd seen all of Crusade (I've only seen half the episodes made and read the unfilmed scripts) but what they hay as we're getting that way anyway.
My proposed idea is: "The Crusade Continues".
A group of talented story writers get together and finish Crusade ourselves.
Whatcha say?
We start off by getting hosting for a site, maybe we could have a sub-domiain here for the project? *Looks at Admins :cool: *
and then we novelise the episodes of Crusade actually made before we move onto new and original stories... if we get a decent looking site maybe we could even try and convince JMS to release the five year arc plans to us?
Anyone interested in the project? :D
The idea is that anyone with some creative talent can add to the project in their own way.
We could do something like that, but probably with a bit more structure so people don't go off all over the place but it would allow people with different talents (writing, drawing, 3d modelling etc) to take part.

Pipe dreams... and you should be getting JMS approval LONG before you even start something like this, not after the fact...

You could at least be polite when you're brutally crushing someone's idea!
JMS is adamantly opposed to works of fan fiction in places where he might see them. You'll note the tag in his signature reading "and don't send me story ideas." This is because, were he to see story ideas from someone else that matched with what he already wanted to do, he'd be unable to use them. The fan who came up with those ideas would be in a position to sue WB for use of those ideas, even if JMS came up with them separately.
What it boils down to is this:
If you're going to make a work of fanfic, do so in either a very low-profile, low-exposure way, or do so using stories that don't hold much relation to what we've seen on-screen. The IFH prequel campaign, for instance, centers around characters who never appeared in the show, building laterally off of what we've seen in canon sources. Other fan works take place either during events we've already seen, or in vastly different time frames. That's all fairly safe, as it's not likely to impinge upon what JMS wants to do. A fan-made extension of Crusade, on the other hand, if it were to gain any serious exposure, could seriously jeapordize our chances of seeing canon material in that area.
So don't do it.
PS. it's only Starwreck 6 that contains Babylon 5 ships but it's not finished yet.

ok...
First of all I'm giving my general opinion of your idea. It [b][i]IS[/i][/b] a pipe dream, becuase projects like this usually never finish or finsih well.
When I said "nope", I meant that [b][i]I[/i][/b] am not interested. I am not speaking for anyone else. ;)
When I said "Admins look back", I was refering to the fact that they (including me) all have more than enough stuff on their plates, to be expected to provide resources on a whim. I'll let them speak for themselves, but you already know where I stand.
With all that said, I have probably come down hard on you when I shouldn't have, because you basically pissed me off when you brutally crushed someones hard work called Roughneck's with you comment ...
(A project I worked on 12-16 hours a day at Foundation Imaging)
;)
Cheers!

It wasn't me that said anything bad about Roughnecks. In fact I defended it..

It was tommieboy2004 that called it aweful. Not me

Sorry... Boy am I a goob...
:p
My most sincere apologies...
;)
Ok, I think I'll go climb into a hole and let some time pass...
:eek:

Apology excepted m8. Let's try and put this past us and focus on what's really important, the defeat of the Drakh!
the whole "Everyone on Earth is going to die in five years" thing. That's kinda important, too. :D
I am sorry, but I didn't like the Series...it was good made though in technically terms, but the story...I don't know, was not very appealing to me, but thanks for including the Skinnies into the story. At least it was a little bit like the book!
sorry, that's my opinion and I hope they respect it...no need to threaten me like that!

Yeah, it's your opinion, and you're entitled to it...
I wasn't really threatening you (as if I could strap you to a chair for 12-16 hours anyway... seriously :D ) my point is that it wasn't some flippant project that everbody sat around a drank beer while playing in Lightwave...
(well Fridays we did, but anyway...)
I'm quite proud of the work my friends and I did on that project, and will always cherish those times no matter how stressful they were, or insane the expectations were...
Anywho... enough of my input, I've stirred the pot more than my share....
;)
