Revision as of 18:02, 29 July 2010

Both Babylon 5 and Crusade featured a number of episodes that for various reasons were proposed but never written, re-written in their entirety or written but never filmed.

Babylon 5

Unfilmed Scripts

"Gut Reactions"

Scripted but unfilmed, Gut Reactions was a proposed episode for B5's 5th season but ultimately rejected.

Undeveloped Episodes

Some episodes never made it to script stage, sometimes only existing as a treatment or as just a rough concept before being abandoned or rejected for various reasons.

"Demon in the Dust"/"Demon on the Run"

A proposed sequel to the 1964 episode ("Demon with a Glass Hand") from The Outer Limits, written by Harlan Ellison. This project had been repeatedly stated by JMS to be on the cards at various points in the series and would have been again written by Ellison and would have featured Robert Culp reprising his role as Trent, an android from the distant future.[1][2][3]

"Festival!"

An early season one episode, only partially written before being abandoned and reworked into ("The Parliament of Dreams").

"All Our Songs Forgotten"/"Unnatural Selection"

"Expectations"

"The Very Long Night of Susan Ivanova"

"The Commander's Hour"

"The Customer is Always Right"

"The World Below"

"The Mysterious Mr. Jones"

Crusade

A Further three scripts had been completed by the time Crusade was cancelled.[7]

Unfilmed Scripts

"To the Ends of The Earth"

"Value Judgements"

"The End of the Line"

Undeveloped Episodes

Tried and True

Part 1: War Story

  • Written By: Richard Mueller
  • Intended Episode Number: 19

Part 2: The Walls of Hell

Part 3: [title unknown]

The Lost Tales

"Garibaldi Episode"

The originally intended third part to ("Voices in the Dark") would have shown Garibaldi dealing with some situation on Mars. Though the episode was dropped in pre-production due to an insufficient budget, the events are briefly alluded two by Lochley in the second episode.[8]

DC Comics

"The Book Of War"

The unpublished twelfth issue of the first DC Comics Babylon 5 series and was partially completed before being cancelled with several pages fully pencilled and inked by artist John Ridgway.

The issue would have featured the origin story of Marcus Cole, including the death of his brother, the destruction of the Arisia Mining Colony and the revelation that Marcus was the Ranger sent to the Narn Homeworld to obtain the "family messages" for G'Kar, as seen in ("Comes the Inquisitor"). Much of this material was later used in Kathryn M. Drennan's novel ("To Dream in the City of Sorrows"). The story would also have made some very strong clues regarding Sinclair and Valen that would have gone out prior to the airing of ("War Without End, Part II"). The issue would have ended with Marcus' ship crash landing and meeting some "very unfriendly Narns."[9]
