Merrick here...
Comic Book Resources posted a summation of this weekend's WonderCon panel with J. Michael Straczynski (aka JMS).
The article touches on the status of several JMS projects. And, evidently, JMS said more BABYLON 5: THE LOST TALES direct-to-DVD shows are on the way. No other details were offered, except that the recent writer's strike apparently slowed start-up on these new B5 ventures.

I haven’t seen Michael Palin’s 1989 documentary miniseries Around The World In 80 Days since it premiered here in the states, but I still remember watching and loving every one of its seven hour episodes. The conceit is Palin endeavors to circumnavigate the globe, a la Jules Verne’s Phineas Fogg, without the use of aircraft. It was Palin's first go at this sort of thing; viewers enjoyed it so much Palin made four or five others dealing with various corners of the globe. Fellow surviving Pythons Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones both cameo, and the set comes with a (new?) Palin interview.

I am – Hercules!!
From “JF”:
I found this on the CGSociety website and thought you might want to link it.
There are two interesting bits.
The first is that to recreate some of the CG models the effects team actually used fan-made CG models as references. Since the fan ones had been made with more recent technology it was easier to reference those than to use the old CG models from the mid 90s.
The second is a bit of a spoiler, so I'll give a bit of space.
Apparently part of the plot details a vision of 23rd Century NYC being hit by a Centauri attack. From the storyboards shown it appears that Sheridan is shown this by Galen(boo, I can't believe they brought back a character from Crusade!)
