I felt B5 2023 did not miss a beat - meaning I went to stream an episode from the original series I had not seen before. Was it the best, no, but I did thoroughly enjoy it and hope the opportunity surfaces to do a mini-series or a series with new story lines. If I remember correctly, the hope was to reboot the series with the same characters (different actors) and create a new storyline (hope I have that right). If CW or WB will produce it and let J. Michael Straczynski write a storyline beginning to end (five seasons) like the original Babylon 5, I can only image a whole new generation would be treated to great story telling like my generation was. I agree with some of the comments about the faces on some of the characters were off and hard to figure out at first - but again - I enjoyed it - it made my day.
