   Of course it is; it's quite a franchise they own.   
      
   I don't think it will happen, for all of the reasons already   
   discussed.  TNG did it (and it is going very well).  But they had most   
   of what they needed to remaster it without having to reproduce   
   extremely large amounts of the shows.  And they have a much larger fan   
   base from which to derive profit.  Given the amount of work that will   
   have to go into a B5 remaster -- they will have to rebuild *all* of   
   the effects shots *from scratch* -- it just won't happen.  And given   
   that the last B5 direct-to-video release didn't generate enough   
   revenue to get more made, it's pretty tough to see a path where it   
   would work.   
      
   Now, having said that, I did not expect the rumored TNG re-mastering   
   project to become reality as it did, so hopefully, I am wrong again!   
   Because I would love to get B5 on BD!
