Sadly I doubt if Babylon 5 will ever get the same treatment.
Every single special effect would have to be redone which is why even the DVDs look choppy.
While I would love to see Babylon 5 get the same treatment too the problem is cost. It was much more effects heavy than Star Trek. They had the foresight of shooting in 16:9, but when it came to the special effects it were done in NTSC SD. So all the special effects would have to be redone from scratch. I don't think that's an expense WB wants to incur.
Also, I don't think they are doing the full series yet. They are doing just a handful of episodes to see how well it sells. And I don't think I'd buy the series. I'm quite happy streaming them from Netflix at the moment.
