The seems to be the case, it mentions the fediverse, but as an incomplete tool to achieve what the author is proposing. The main idea I got from the article is "social ownership" of the internet.
It seems that the author allows communities not backed/run by the state though. Maybe a throwaway line to appease critics.
That is great, but knowing how much of an grumpy old man I am (although I am younger than the series itself), at best I will reluctantly like the reboot, at worst I will hate like some people hate ST Discovery.
I ignored Sense8 for some reason, maybe I will watch this time.
I agree that it should be left as it was, it told everything that wanted to tell.
As for being the counterpoint to ST, the elevator scene between G'Kar and Londo is the last nail in the coffin. Not only that, it showed great dissent and conflict inside the human race (mars went though a secession, the telepaths are creepy like X-men's Magneto).
As for Delen, you right. But every sci-fi will have space elfs, plus I liked the Minbari being Zen buddhists from space.
> original creator J. Michael Straczynski is attached to the project.
Ok, maybe not that bad, but I am sure the copyright holders says this to grab the older fans.
I love B5, and probably will dislike the reboot, but I will watch it anyway.
Besides the great plot and storytelling, B5 is great because of it's characters and the casting decisions, I'm not a film buff, so I do not know ho is the best actors to play G'Kar or Delen, but I surely miss Andreas and Mira (RIP).
I hope for the space combat scenes, the visuals on the original are dated but the seeing it is awesome to this day. (I simp for the starfuries and the narn heavy cruiser)
Lets hope it does not turn into an teenager drama.
I am pretty sure that the best course of action for those of us in this situation is to hide who we are and submit to other's will, or starve to death.
I am unironically thinking in stop trying to get into tech, move to the countryside and live of subsistence farming.
