No kidding!
But it is being discussed in the highest of quarters..
Of course it is; it's quite a franchise they own.
I don't think it will happen, for all of the reasons already
discussed. TNG did it (and it is going very well). But they had most
of what they needed to remaster it without having to reproduce
extremely large amounts of the shows. And they have a much larger fan
base from which to derive profit. Given the amount of work that will
have to go into a B5 remaster -- they will have to rebuild *all* of
the effects shots *from scratch* -- it just won't happen. And given
that the last B5 direct-to-video release didn't generate enough
revenue to get more made, it's pretty tough to see a path where it
would work.
Now, having said that, I did not expect the rumored TNG re-mastering
project to become reality as it did, so hopefully, I am wrong again!
Because I would love to get B5 on BD!
