血红海岸第一季

The actors were never told in advance what was in store for their characters. Each new episode was just as much a surprise for them as it was for the viewers.
　　故事的背景设定在公元2257年，人类已经突破光速，开始大规模星际旅行及在太阳系附近殖民，与多个外星文明接触并有贸易联系。一天，一艘地球联邦的星际驱逐舰在探索未知星际空间的时候遇到一艘不明星船，因为误判对方意图而先敌开火。对方叫明巴利外星族（Minbari），比人类早进化发展几千年，其技术人类无法望其项背。不巧的是地球星船孤注一掷先敌开火的时候把灰色議會議長杜哈的给干掉了（那位老兄其实知道按大设计蓝图，明巴利必须与地球人联合并融合，这次到这里也不是闲逛，而是准备与地球人第一次亲密接触）。于是明巴利对地球开战，摧枯拉朽所向披糜，在对地球本土最后一击的过程中，明巴利却突然停止进攻并宣布投降。总之，停战后地球出资在中立空间建设“巴比伦空间站"，致力星际交流、谈判及和平合作。前面四座都被摧毁或莫名其妙消失，于是有了巴比伦5号。巴5军头Sheridan和明巴利大使笛嵐（Delenn）带领众喽罗，联合火星殖民地抵抗力量反对地球联邦通过谋杀政变而上台的独裁总统，联合各外星文明反击神秘黑暗种类——影族（Shadows），向佛隆人（Vorlon）说不，最终走上独立自主自力更生的发展文明道路。

In 2262, Earthforce Captain Elizabeth Lochley is appointed to command Babylon 5. The station grows in its role as a sanctuary for rogue telepaths running from the Psi Corps, resulting in conflict. G'Kar, former Narn ambassador to Babylon 5, becomes unwillingly a spiritual icon after a book is published that he wrote while incarcerated during the Narn-Centauri War. The Drakh, former allies of the Shadows who remained in the galaxy, take control of Regent Virini on Centauri Prime through a parasitic creature called a Keeper, then incite a war between the Centauri and the Interstellar Alliance, in order to isolate the Centauri from the Alliance and gain a malleable homeworld for themselves.
　　Centauri Prime is devastated by Narn and Drazi warships and Londo Mollari becomes emperor, accepting a Drakh Keeper under threat of the complete nuclear destruction of the planet. (Portions of the end of his reign are seen in various prescient visions throughout the series they show Mollari and former nemesis (and later friend) G'Kar sixteen years in the future dying at each other's throats, seemingly out of their grudge. It is gradually revealed that there was a much more friendly subtext, with Mollari having become a slave to the drakh rule and being tired of life his Drakh Keeper awakens and strangles G'Kar in return. Vir Cotto, Mollari's loyal and more moral aide, succeeds him as emperor, free of Drakh influence. Sheridan and Delenn marry and move to Minbar, along with the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance. G'Kar leaves Babylon 5 to escape his unwanted fame and explore the rim. Garibaldi also marries and settles down on Mars. Most of the other main characters leave B5.
　　Nineteen years later on the verge of death, Sheridan takes a final trip to the obsolete Babylon 5 station before its decommissioning. Sheridan apparently dies but is claimed by the First Ones, who invite him to join them on a journey beyond the rim of the galaxy. Babylon 5 station is destroyed in a demolition shortly after Sheridan's departure, its existence no longer necessary as the Alliance has taken over its diplomatic purposes. This final episode features a cameo by Straczynski as the technician who switches off the lights before Babylon 5 is demolished.

　　由《绯闻女孩》两位主创Josh Schwartz和Stephanie Savage在Apple TV+开发的新剧《焰火之城》（City On Fire）定档5月12日开播。这部八集组成的剧集将在首播周更新三集，此后逢周五更新一集，于6月16日季终。
　　这是Josh和Stephanie早前与该流媒体签订优先合作条约的首个项目。与《绯闻女孩》相似，故事同样改编自同名小说，Garth Risk Hallberg所著的小说讲述了在2003年的7月4日，年轻女孩“Samantha Cicciaro”在纽约中央公园被枪击，当时所有人都在观看烟火，所以没有证人也没有太多物证。
　　而事发前她正在她最爱的夜店看着她朋友乐队的表演，临时出去见朋友却再也没有回来。随着警方调查的深入，所有人都惊讶的发现她不仅连接着纽约下城的音乐圈子，还和上东区的富有的地产家族有着紧密联系。
　　在《性 教育》完成“Hope”演出的Jemima Kirke饰演“Regan”，她是曼哈顿地产大亨的女儿，但努力想要靠自己取得成功；而《继承之战》“Nate” Ashley Zukerman饰演她的丈夫“Keith”，他的魅力帮助他失败后重新站起来。
　　《年轻一代》“Josh” Nico Tortorella饰演“William”，才华横溢、但却自我毁灭的艺术家；而Xavier Clyde则饰演他的男朋友“Mercer”，从乔治亚州农村来到纽约的他，写下了一本杰出的小说，并拥抱真实的自己。
　　歌手，出演了《劣迹斑斑》的Max Milner饰演“Nicky Chaos”，一个充满魅力的活动家，也和一群朋友致力于同精英主义进行斗争；而《实习医生格蕾》十六季做短暂演出的“Cindy”Alexandra Doke饰演的“Sewer Girl”，就是这个团队的主力成员。
　　《曼达洛人》“Dr.Pershing” Omid Abtahi饰演的“Ali Parsa”，是负责调查Samantha遇害的侦探；而《港湾》“Audrey” Kathleen Munroe则是与他搭档的“PJ McFadden”；至于此前在《乔对决卡萝尔》完成“Joe Exotic”演出的John Cameron Mitchell则饰演“Amory”，是曼哈顿一名具有影响力和权势的高管，他为人无情但也同样迷人。

　　Very much unlike his staff, an overeager Michael can't wait for this year's annual Dundies awards.
