AskWoody PlusPrime however does not seem to know about it.
I noticed that too, but also see a notice that the webisodes it consists of were released concurrently to the first five episodes of season 6 of The Expanse, and are available in the X-Ray bonus content section on Prime Video.

AskWoody PlusThe Babylon 5 reboot is still in limbo. No decision yet from the new executives as to whether or not they will pull the plug as they did with other planned CW projects following the buyout.

AskWoody PlusWith the sale of CW there’s concern that the Babylon 5 reboot will get cut in the next couple of weeks, even though it’s pretty much already in the can. JMS is asking fans to express their support ASAP.
This sounds like a reboot of the tenuous nature of the original B5.

AskWoody PlusMore Babylon 5 news:
On Twitter, Straczynski informed his followers that not only has the project already wrapped, with a firm 2023 release date, but that “all of the main B5 cast members still around participated.” There aren’t many left. Claudia Christian was mentioned.
“it’s the closest thing to the original B5 in tone of anything we’ve done since. As if no time has passed at all. 100% crescent fresh”

AskWoody PlusHas anyone here watched it?
It’s on my list but have been somewhat hesitant because it was like Babylon 5 intended as a five year story arc but in this case got the plug pulled unexpectedly after the season 2 cliffhanger, despite critical acclaim. Netflix was convinced to at least do a final episode to resolve the cliffhanger and end the series but it’s truncated nevertheless.

AskWoody PlusSpeaking of Babylon 5, a very recent article about the reboot scheduled for 2023:
https://www.thewrap.com/babylon-5-reboot-original-creator-the-cw/
Quoting: “In a from-the-ground-up reboot of the original series, John Sheridan, an Earthforce officer with a mysterious background, is assigned to Babylon 5, a five-mile-long space station in neutral space, a port of call for travelers, smugglers, corporate explorers and alien diplomats at a time of uneasy peace and the constant threat of war. His arrival triggers a destiny beyond anything he could have imagined, as an exploratory Earth company accidentally triggers a conflict with a civilization a million years ahead of us, putting Sheridan and the rest of the B5 crew in the line of fire as the last, best hope for the survival of the human race.”

AskWoody PlusA brief update on the Babylon 5 reboot. It’s been pushed out to the Fall of ’23, but is still a go.

AskWoody Plus“The issue that many critics can’t seem to look beyond revolves around Henry’s tendency to pop into Clare’s life as a naked adult man when Clare is still a child. The reviews call this aspect of the show everything from creepy to straight-up grooming, and all seem to agree that it’s really not okay as a plot device, especially one that repeats itself.”
Which again is likely a reflection of the perverse and unhealthy attitude in American culture that nudity = sex. It does not.

AskWoody PlusThat’s my point. What Galaxy Quest was satirizing and mocking was the intentionally serious but absurd predicaments common in many sci fi shows. What you described sounds like one of them.

AskWoody PlusAlex: “Second season was OK.”
I agree: OK, if not as good as the first one that, in my opinion, was great.
Perhaps because all the impediments to its making raised by the pandemic limited what could be done. But some silly sequences are remarkable for being there at all.
For example: one main character taking a good many seconds to jump to shore from a sinking vehicle over a stretch of very acid sea water that quickly eats up anything organic or metallic in contact with it, by pulling himself in using a sort of flaming safety line anchored at the other end to a seashore boulder, without falling at the same time into this dangerous water because of gravity, which still seems to be present, as he lands hard on the stony shore.
Even so, in my opinion, this second season is not bad, just not very good.
That sounds like one of those Galaxy Quest predicaments.
