Oh man. The thing about a B5 reboot is that it gets me excited in the sense of how they could recast it with more women! more non-white people! more actually textual queer (and maybe less simultaneous fridging and making-evil-of lesbians)! And I think you could make the broad plot arcs the same while having character variation and less clunky-overall writing and better pacing, and basically smooth away all the things that were wrong last time and probably create new things in the process. All of that would be AMAZING.
But on the other hand, I try to picture anyone but Jurasik and Katsulas playing Londo and G'Kar, and my entire mental train skids to a bewildered halt.
