it was all ripped off of Joseph Smith's scam anyways. Was a copy of a copy of a copy. Eventually the toner just runs out.

All of those are terrible.
There is no point to doing this as "oh here's some stories we forgot to tell in an underdeveloped mythos that was hugely disappointing in the end.".
No smart creator wants to stick to doing footnotes to someone else's creation. You leave that shit for the sons and grandsons of famous people who want to squeeze a bit more from the IP teat.
Maybe. Bsg from before the fall is essentially star trek. It isn't automatically bad, but I'm not sure BSG as a setting brings anything new to that beyond saving some development time because of the preexisting art assets and easy PR. Which isn't nothing from the studio's pov.

yeah if u wanted to do that you would pick up something like B5 IP which i'd imagine would be cheaper and gives you more options with less baggage
why isn't anyone making a modern B5 adjacent show

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation. -William Gibson

Two reasons: 1) Warner Bros. owns the property and are fucking morons and 2) JMS would have to be involved and I think most his output post-B5 showed that he blew his wad on the original show. Also, most of the great original actors are dead.

B5 was a great universe but JMS could create a very similar show with different aliens and different Earth history and own the rights by himself. It's not like we can get the original B5 crew back, too many have passed away.

B5 was at its best when JMS did far too much and nearly killed himself. Given his failing health - and the basence of his creative muse, Harlan Ellison, I would not expect he'd survive another attempt at doing a show like B5, or that it would be as great if he did. He is on my short list of people I'd actually love to meet and than for the entertainment they produced, but I don't have any hope I'll ever see something from him that matches B5.

2020 will be the year I gave up all hope.

I would like to thank Vladimir Putin for ensuring that every member of the NPR news staff has had to say "Pussy Riot" on the air multiple times.
