How Would You Show Both Versions Of The Gathering?
Question for the group: How Would You Show Both Versions of The Gathering?
I am going to show Babylon 5 to a newbie. I am pretty sure he is going to become a fan. We are starting with The Gathering. I originally thought that I wanted to show him the Original Version followed immediately by the JMS or TNT Version, however you want to call it. I wanted to be sure he notices all the little differences between the two, like where certain lines of dialogue were changed and so on. Now that I have had too much time to think about it I am not sure I want to do it this way. So should I show him both versions of The Gathering at the same time or save the Re-Edit for later or show him the Re-Edit first? This is an important question because it will shape his expectations, especially if I were to show him the Re-Edit first then go back and show him the Original Cut down the road. Please vote and then tell me reasons why. THANKS! :thumbsup: |

Tough question. I would say show the original version first followed by edit. Or you could show the edit after you are done with the series as a couple things here and there would make more sense. In the long run it probably doesn't matter a whole lot though.

As you know there are many discussions on how to show the series. I think if I explain all of that to him he will want to watch the series in the order recently posted by b5historyman. The question is how to fit The Gathering into that chronological order with the two different versions. They really are different when you really get in there, but I do believe they end at the same point. The message is the same even if different words were used to deliver it. Thanks for the early input Sinclair. :thumbsup: |

That is annoying. Honestly, why not explain the situation to him, and ask him what he thinks he'd prefer?

I'd say show him the edited version first. Then let him watch the rest of the series before showing him the original version of "The Gathering." :cool:

That is an interesting take and one that I assume most people will have.

Kraig's approach does make sense. The kind of details the edited version will have are not essential to his understanding of anything, and it will avoid introducing subjects the he'd be able to google. :)

So I guess folks are not too interested in poll voting in these forums. :p

Re: How Would You Show Both Versions Of The Gathering?
Why do both? For the sake of sheer completeness?
