Yeah, JMS is absolutely right. There's a bunch of people out there who do exactly this. And it's horrible. Yes, we who know better should rise above it - but it so damn irritating. About 3-4 weeks ago, I showed my face in a newsgroup I hadn't been into for about 3 years (due to not actually...

Well, thank you both for your replies. As I'd said, I didn't examine the episodes thoroughly, and thought that there'd probably be a spanner in the works. Yeah, Sindataur, one of my objectives was to try and "fix" the Gideon / Lochley thing. Along with trying to ensure that they discover the...

Yes, once again the newbie is going over ground which has been walked over by many other feet...and when the ground was much younger...but bear with me. I'll be honest upfront and be the first to say that I haven't put hours of thought into this (i.e. I haven't sat and analysed each and every...

Nah, you didn't jump on me. I think this is a fascinating discussion, and I value every point of view. I take your point that the releases we have are how JMS envisoned them, pretty much. And that the whole thing (including the full CGI shots) was created with widescreen in mind. I just wish...

Firstly, I should perhaps apologise for re-opening this discussion when I probably realised this has been debated at length already... But I am a newbie and I've only just started to buy the DVD sets. And I was interested to know what other people thought. Secondly, I take on board the fact...

Yeah, I completely agree. Since I discovered that more has been cropped, trimmed and otherwise distorted than I thought (more often than not nearly 50% of each episode, at a rough guess), I despair of the choice they've made to release this in widescreen. I mean, how important is it to see an...

Okay. I'll get right on in here, and correct the usual foolish error before anyone else gets the chance. A little browsing later...and we see that - apparently - every live-action shot in the show which has had CGI treatment will be cropped in the same way that your normal (usually space-set)...

Yes, it's very frustrating. The original boxset design (seasons 1-3) is pretty awful - how many years of opening and closing do you think *that* will sustain? And while the box I got for season 3 is much better, it is hugely disappointing that Warner have not put a little more thought into this...

You know, I feel so much more confident about posting on here - and making mistake after mistake - when I know you're right there, ready to correct any foolish error I might make. That might sound sarcastic. But it isn't. :) By the way, I've always thought it was a shame O J Simpson didn't get...

...Maybe writing to them, saying that your boxset came without a booklet? It's got to be worth a try. I'm thinking of asking them for a new box for season 2. I've only got as far as seasons 2 & 3 - but as far as I'm aware, the original box for 3 was the same as 2 (i.e. cardboard and plastic...

Thanks for setting me right, L. Trailers I can live without. And I have to say, those previews for the individual episodes are just *awful*. Your typical generic promo slot with a voiceover sounding far too serious about the whole thing - not too far removed from a spoof, actually. And they...

I bow to your wisdom, Kosomot. If I learn to post when I'm less irritated and more awake, I might remember things like the fact that B5 was shot on film (as most things are these days) - so there's bound to be a difference in picture resolution between regions. So I'll just have to buy the...

Firstly, hello to everyone here. It's about time I contributed something (and probably only very little as it transpires) to B5 discussions, having watched the show for these 10 years. Secondly, being a resident of the UK, here's the whinge: Yes, it *is* pretty bad that - once again - there's...
