Brief Synopsis:
The Babylon 5 Project aims to focus on the arc stories of the TV show by creating a series of films. This creates a more streamlined rewatch of Babylon 5 for those who want to maximize the arc without having to watch the mostly stand-alone episodes with arc storylines in them.
Intention:
Babylon 5 has such a riveting arc based story that I've returned to watch time and time again but I'm not a big fan of the standalone episodes. However, many standalones do have some arc based storylines which are paid off later. I wanted to craft a new way to watch the series which creates an "all killer, no filler" B5 experience. Some films would just be three or so episodes strung together because of how heavily arc concentrated they are. Other films need to be built from the ground up from the pieces of many episodes which creates new viewing experiences and slightly changed narratives. The Babylon 5 Project also looks to exorcise some loose plot threads that don't pay off down the line.

Editing Details:
As we get deeper into the Babylon 5 arc, these tv-to-film edits become a lot lighter on the actual edits. This edit is built mostly from "Ceremonies of Light and Dark", "Ship of Tears", and "Interludes and Examinations". There is a bit edited out of "Ceremonies" mostly due to the relationship between Talia and Ivanova was one of the things that got cut when I reduced Talia's role in the series.
This film skips past "Sic Transit Vir" entirely because Vir's Minbari ambassador appointment never happens in my film series. Most of "A Late Delivery from Avalon" has been removed as well with the exception of the formation of the Babylon Treaty.

Not as well interwoven as some of the narratives, this is still an excellently edited TV to film adaptation. Excellent skill was demonstrated in working around the infamous limitations of the source material, and everything looks and sounds great. Thank you!
