So, let's go into deeper B5:TMoS speculation

remember that Garibaldi and Lyta have an agreement that Lyta will help Garibaldi "throw down on Bester."

of course maybe Lyta will somehow render Bester's telepathic powers null and void so that Garibaldi can extract his revenge.

but something tells me that Garibaldi would never want that. all he wants is to be able to be free to do it to Bester himself. and nothing would be more satisfying to Garibaldi than to do it on his own terms and in his own way.

Bester's fate and the resolution to his conflict with Garibaldi is settled in the final book of the Psi Corps triology. Lyta never gets anywhere near Bester during the Teep War presumably because he does manage to survive after the war.

Matheson was in the right place at the right time to be involved in the Telepath War. This was shown in Crusade's episod "The Path of Sorrows"
I would love to see him involved.
That's the only Crusade character that I can see fitting easily, I guess Gideon may be shown commanding a ship (but I'm not sure if he was already a captain in that timeframe) but doesn't seem essential and canbe easily replaced. Still I'd like to see Gary Cole in that role again.

There's a tantalizing line in the last book of the Psi Corps trilogy about Lyta and Bester which gives another reason Garibaldi wants to get him. I'd rather not post it (I don't remember it exactly anyway).
I suspect they do get close... but what happens is not what one would expect or want.

I think that if TMoS is about the Telepath War Pat Tallman will have one of the best dramatic (and tragic roles), but Psi Corps book 3 doesn't give any specifics about her destiny.

Bester survives, but maybe not with honor... and as many things in B5, it will be the how and why that makes it interesting, even if we know the end result... it will be great to see Walter Koenig as Alfred Bester again.


Now into further speculation: do you think that if Jerry Doyle can't be in the movie they'd recast him with Bruce Willis?

Other than him being hair-deprived and similarly the macho-guy-with-gun.... I don't see how that'd work. He'd look the part, sure, but I doubt he'd play it well.

Bruce Willis as Garibaldi?

Utter sacrilege!

Jms has never re-cast any of the main characters on the show, with good reason.

Better to write the character out of the script than to corrupt it beyond all recognition.

Ironically, Jerry did a fourth season episode of Moonlighting ("Cool Hand Dave") where he was one of a parade of actors auditioning to "replace" David Addison (Bruce Willis).
