    Cropped CGI on DVD?: Final Clarification

    Okay, I realise this has been discussed ad nauseam, but going throught the mass of old data I am finding contradictions. It was my understanding that all the CGI shots in all seasons were rendered in 4:3, leading to cropped and/or zoomed images for the 16:9 DVD sets. Now I have also read that...

    Will it ever be on UK Terrestrial?

    As someone without SKY TV, I'd really like to see this on terrestrial. I don't know a great deal about it, but it seems quite intriguing and it's also from the pen of JMS of course. I fear it may be one of those shows that never makes it to the UK other than SKY. Failing this, is there any...

    Excitement at watching LotR for very first time!

    I just had to express my joy at finally getting to see Legend of the Rangers: To Live and Die in Starlight. As a UK B5 fan with only terrestrial TV, and with no video/DVD release forthcoming, I thought I'd never get to see it. I have to thank whoever it was that posted info about the...

    Who bought the B5 magazine series?

    I got them up to about Issue 2.7. Can anyone describe all the later covers for me - who was on them? Wasn't it a good magazine though? Shame it ended.

    Projected 'Crusade' air dates?

    Projected \'Crusade\' air dates? Now this may seem a bit of a bazzare issue to raise that is completely pointless, but when studying US air dates and breaks (even though I watch from the UK), I found that Crusade aired uninterrupted from June to September. Was this just because TNT decided to...

    Segnificance of the name Gideon

    I was looking over some old JMS comments (on Lurkers' Guide I think) and read how the religious connotations of Captain Gideon's name would be segnificant later in the Crusade series. He indicated it was chosen for a reason. Anyone know what the reason might have been and what it may have meant?

    Back Issues of UK Magazine

    Does anyone know a website for Titan Magazines where I might be able to order new copies of some of the old B5 Magazine published in the UK? I stopped buying them after about Issue 2.7 but now I wish I had some of the Crusade articles. Anyone know if they're even available?

    Use for Dureena's Sword?

    Use for Dureena\'s Sword? In relation to the planned "Sword Arc" involving Dureena and the Thieves' Guild ("Tried and True", "The Gates/Walls of Hell", plus another) what do you think the use would be for the glowing Sword Dureena obtains? We see it briefly in "End of the Line" and see that...

    Speculation on Crusade cliffhanger (pos. spoilers)

    There may be some spoilers on the unproduced Crusade scripts so you may want to stop reading... Okay, it's old news about those Crusade scripts, but I was reading "End of the Line" again and got thinking about how the cliffhnager would have concluded. Anyone care to speculate? The way I see...

    Favourite Crusade episode?

    For me it has to be "The Path of Sorrows". All those character backgrounds and histories were really interesting. If only Patricia Tallman had been available for it - that would have been the icing on the cake. anyway, what do you think - favourite crusade epsode?

    Official Guide to Babylon 5 CD-ROM???

    Can anyone tell me where I might be able to buy this in the UK? I've tried the standard online stores that I know of, but no luck - of course. Ideally I would like to find a new copy, so if anyone knows anywhere I can get it I would be gratefull, thanks.

    Please tell me about B5 Combat Simulator!!

    I just discovered that the combat simulator that I thought had been abandoned way way back actually got a title Babylon 5: Into the Fire - Combat Simulator. I also saw screen shots. So does it exist??? Is it available to buy? If so, is it only available in the USA? This has got me quite...

    The Gathering Special Edition

    I recently got the TNT special edition of B5: The Gathering, and I thought it was brilliant (I had seen the original before, not a newcomer to the series). Anyway, when the assassin meets Del Varner in his quarters, I stilled the frame and zoomed in. I saw the name (you know what I mean, but I...

    Can someone tell me about the planned arc?

    I've seen bits of infomation over the years about where Crusade was going in terms of story arc, and I was wondering if someone could fill in the gaps for me. I know something about the crew finding a cure that was not quite what it seemed, and that they would have to go renegade because no one...

    In need of Vol. 27: "Sic Transit Vir"

    In need of Vol. 27: \"Sic Transit Vir\" Don't worry, I'm not going to go over the old discussion again. As almost everyone probably knows, "Sic Transit Vir" is missing from the tape of Volume 27 on many of the UK copies. I can't get hold of a proper one. My question is if there is anyone out...

    Could this have been the cure for the plague...?

    I have read that the cure for the Drkh plague would have been found, but turn out to be "Worse that the disease". I just watched "Deathwalker" again for the first time in ages, and was thinking about Jha'Dur's serum. Turns out, JMS said that it wouldn't just disappear but: "you'd be surprised...

    In what order should I watch my B5 marathon?

    Re: when to watch ItB I wouldn't watch it before the Gathering because I think it spoils the whole point of a prequil. The whole fun in watching it is to look back and say "oh thats how he met her, and that what happened at such and such". Furthermore, if you askme, chronologically, ItB isn't...

    How can I contact Warner Home Video (UK)?

    I'm not sure what forum this belongs in so I'll try here first: Can anyone help me as to how I can email (or otherwise contact) the UK branch of Warner Home Video? I would like to enquire with them on a few subjects, but if anyone else can help instead... 1) How can I purchase a correct copy...

    Spread out s4 into s5?

    Do you think Babylon 5 would have benefitted overall if they knew they were going to get a fifth season early on? Do you think it would have been better to spread out the arcs and end s4 with "Intersections in Real Time"? I can see this having advantages and disadvantages. It would probably...

    Crusade: "Where are you going?"

    Crusade: \"Where are you going?\" ...or more acurately "Where were you going?" I'm new to this message board, so please forgive me if this has been discussed before, or if I generally go against the grain. I've been a B5 fan ever since it first aired in my country (the UK). I was wondering...
