Scenes you wanted to see

This somewhat violated the spirit of this thread. I've wonder for a long time whether an edited version of B5 with only scenes with Londo and/or G'Kar would be coherent.

Part of me think it just might be, albeit with some large events occurring off camera on the periphery of the viewers vision! I have always felt they were the beating heart of the show.

The one thing that I'd really have loved is the originally-intended David Sheridan arc for Season 5. I think it would have fitted perfectly into the overall structure.

That would have been fun, too! (nods head) I wonder what young actor they would have cast?

I hesitate to post to this thread, since it borders on story ideas.

Yes...but no. I think we're safely on the side of extrapolating from actual events and that's okay.

But thanks for thinking of it. While there's no indication that JMS has ever visited anything but the archives, I still like that it would be safe if he did.

Riffing off of DaveNarn's wish, I'd've loved to have seen the Vorlon fleet show up after Delenn's threat. It was in the script but cut. Probably more dramatic/effective that way, but it would have been cool.

In Severed Dreams after Delenn's warning to the Earth task force and they disengage and retreat, I'd like to see them all do a high-G flip and burn to add to the drama.
The SyFy series 'The Expanse' demonstrates this emergency maneuver - it's very cool and would incorporate into B5 seamlessly.

Two scenes I would like to see, since they've been implied.

1. David Sheridan is rescued.

2. David succeeds his mother, Delenn, as the lead of the Interstellar Alliance.

These days, i really don't think there too much imminent danger!

Not so much a scene i'd like to see that we didn't but a scene changed.
That scene wher ehte ranger escapes from the planet and dies getting the message to babylon 5. I want that ranger to be marcus's brother and we see the results and marcus joining etc

Ooh, that would have been cool. Great idea!!!

See, I stay away for a few days and something wonderful happens. Sorry to come in and kill things, but that is my superpower.

I'd like to see the cut Sebastian scene, too. I'd like to know what exactly he says and how Sheridan reacts.

Though, I'm not sure it's really fair to blame the earth-minbari war on Delenn. Yes, she did vote, and she did say to "kill them all," but if she was really that powerful she could have ended everything as soon as she'd calmed down and was sorry. But she couldn't.

It took a huuuge reveal, much later on before she was able to convince anyone to stop, and it was almost too late. Her amount of power seemed to go up and down, like sometimes they spoke about her like she was the most powerful Minbari ever, and then when she wants to marry Sheridan, it's like she's a little kid whose daddy doesn't think she's old enough and she has to beg him for permission.

I want to see Garibaldi winning the motorcycle featured in 'Eyes', and bringing it onto the station.
I can see him explaining his basket of parts in the customs line

Another:

I wanted to see Garibaldi finally catch up with Bester!

I have read the Psi-Corps trilogy, but I expect the TV show would have taken a different path. I think I remember there being hints of this (Garibaldi's agents) towards the end of Fiona Avery's 'Value Judgements' Crusade script.

Definitely up there on my wishlist.

The more I have thought about this the more things I come up with. Here are a few minor things I'd like to have seen.

- You know how we got a brief glimpse of life on the Drazi homeworld in Season 5; I'd love to see that for every race - especially Narn prior to the war Centauri. A glimpse of everyday life on each of those planets; Earth included, though I didn't much care for what we saw in The Lost Tales. It seemed to not fit well with what glimpses of Earth we had gotten before as well as seeming way to influenced by other SciFi Shows and movies.

- Staying on Narn I'd love to have seen what Ta'Lon was doing prior to being captured by the Steibe. (Is that really how you spell that?)

- Sticking with Ta'Lon I'd love to have seen how things went with the new cast in charge.

I could go on, but I said there would only be "a few."

JMS wrote his own with the joke version of 'The Exercise of Vital Powers'.

So he did!
