Just rewatched S1 for the first time in several years ... just appeared on Amazon Prime in its non-widescreen glory of course ... and was pleasantly surprised by how well it still holds up. Yes CGI tech has moved on massively, but the characters and story hold up every bit as well as they did...

I would venture to suggest that the ISS is not felt to be quite as important to the future of the human race as the Babylon station(s).

Not Morgan Freeman? Or Danny Glover as G'Kar and Mel Gibson as Londo? :D

This is one of those things that intrigues me about publishers ... We haven't seen any new B5 books since those trilogies ended because sales weren't good enough to justify a company spending money on new material. However, these old books, presumably, already exist in some kind of electronic...

It is sorted out ... they are two separate runs of the show, each showing the episodes in the correct order. Prior to this, they ran the show weekday evenings as one run and weekend mornings as another. The audience only needs to follow one of the runs to get the show in full. I imagine FX...

Yes it was. The 20th Anniversary edition was the first DVD I ever bought ... before I even owned a player ... and even up to last year, it was available from Amazon in the UK.

Ah yes, web coding 101 ... everytime you fix one thing, six others will break. :D

TripleF, Meant to say something before now, but thank you for the update ... I was one of those visually challenged people (literally) who struggled with your previous colourscheme, the new one is significantly better. Just one slight kink in it ... the rollover explanations for the links...

I always quite liked Futurama's take on it ... "My fellow Earthicans". :D

Not to mention that JMS/Foundation Imaging were deliberately going for something more colourful and organic than viewers were used to seeing in their SFTV. Note, for example, that the earth ships tended to be grey and metallic and functional whereas the longer standing space-faring races had...

If no changes have been made, surely it is still the same edition. Just a re-print of the exact same content ... and given that the ad for the "forthcoming" Invoking Darkness is still there that sounds like exactly what it is.

Do you have any idea how many nuclear weapons that would take? We are talking many thousands of miles of space in 3 dimensions all around the Earth at probably a fair distance. Even if they had wanted to do this, I doubt that Earth had the money or infrastructure to produce or buy in anything...

Welcome to the board. :D The Legions of Fire trilogy fills in a lot of the blank for this story ... but it can be tricky to get hold of all three, I gather. JMS always planned to use a theatrical movie to tell the story of the telepath war/crisis, if it ever happens. There are some hints...

As far as I can tell it is exactly DVD order.

For me, I think the problem is that in some ways the original B5 series was truly ground-breaking SFTV, particularly in the USA, perhaps ... first series to make extensive/exclusive use of CGI for its VFX, first to come follow an ongoing, long term story arc with definite beginning, middle and...

As I had a couple of minutes, I went over to JMSNews to see if I did imagine what JMS had said about a season 6, and here it is ... Part of this post All that aside, TripleF, I think the truth at this point is that JMS as a writer and producer is capable of making an extremely good living...

You know what ... I don't care about what the specifics are of the facts and figures here and who knows precisely what, when and how, or even who is speculating wildly without cause, the bottom line for me in all of these things is simple. Firstly, if we are going to get new B5, I don't want...

It was no more distracting to me than Franke's first season scores for B5, which also failed to hit the mark on a number of occasions, as he was getting to grips with what was required. Which was essentially the effect that JMS was going for.

Likewise, only the UK version.

I am not sure it is a budget issue, as such ... more that the show is now being shot in HD and probably costs more to make an equivalent episode than it used to. Plus there is probably an element of one-off costing in this season to establish the changes that have been made - new TARDIS sets...
