I just got my pre-ordered copy of Babylon 5: The Lost Tales
today. I watched the first of the two tales, “Over Here”.

Summary: It’s BAD. REALLY REALLY BAD.

The only thing worse than the acting is the dialogue, the special effects,
and the theology. And the acting isn’t great.

This isn’t a Babylon 5 story at all; you could have set it equally well in any “future time in space”. There are only three characters: Colonel Elizabeth “2-D” Lochley, Random Nearly-Apostate Priest Dude, and Asmodeus. Unfortunately, through centuries of overeating and lack of exercise, Asmodeus’s powers have reduced to those of an old window A/C unit: making the room cold, making the air smell bad, and occasionally catching on fire, so it’s not as interesting as you might think.

The thing that really pissed me off, though, was the ending:
SPOILERS

Lochley didn’t even think twice about sending the demon back to
Earth to be effectively reimprisoned and likely destroyed with the
Earth (unless, of course, he just hitches a ride on another
poor schmoe). No moral questions about enforcing the purported
whims of an absentee god thousands/millions/billions of years ago,
just “We gotcha! You’re goin’ back!” The only thing that I ever
found interesting about Lochley was that she actually made a difficult
ethical choice in refusing to join the rebellion in Earth’s civil war; that was part of the reason that Sheridan made her captain of B5. Looks like that’s the only interesting thing we’re going to see about her. Where’s G’Kar when you need him?
