I was always impressed with the way they stretched the dollar with B5. As I said, they're community theater at heart... please your audience as much as possible for mere pennies! And get stressed out doing it!

Yeah, the CGI looks wonderful.

Not too bad a sum.

I had estimated as much but with the more visuals I was beginning to think it was much more. Just seems beyond belief that something with that kind of budget can get feature film like shots.

I loved it.

It will definitely be among the classics:

Beep beep with Garibaldi.
The elevator scene with Londo.
Discusssions about breen.
