    B5 on Amazon Prime

    Sadly, not here in the UK. However, never bad for exposure for it to be on USA prime. EDIT: If you have Prime membership in the UK and a VPN, switch to a US server and you can watch on Amazon.com.

    You should also re-read the comic!

    The Babylon 5 Preservation Project

    But there is no 'rarity' except for the original script books. It's all print to demand. Apart from signed books, 'found' stuff was very likely just a reprint via POD. Some of the products I have definitely enjoyed, but I just hate the FOMO marketing. It's what ultimately turned me off the whole...

    The Babylon 5 Preservation Project

    It's print on demand via Amazon now. Has been for quite some time. The 'time limited print on demand' oxymoron still cracks me up. The 'warehouse finds' are even better. LOL. FOMO marketing at its best.

    The Babylon 5 Preservation Project

    All valid. We are definitely at the opposite ends of the spectrum. I requested a refund on Vol. 2.5 as I was pretty unimpressed with how flimsy a concept it was for a book. The Encyclopaedia also seemed like a bit of a futile effort to me. I can just watch the show. But, I realise there is an...

    The Babylon 5 Preservation Project

    Nah, I think it's a fair concern. I'd prefer a well edited, well paced, single book over 4 books that could potentially suffer from cramming in every minutiae. See no issues with discussing this. A Kickstarter should also deliver what you signed up for in a timely fashion. Maybe repost your...

    WATCHMEN CHAPTER 1 - JMS

    Out of curiosity, I'll probably give the animated feature a look when both chapters are out there so I can watch it in one go. I've read positive and negative reviews, but it seems very faithful and Dave Gibbons was looped into the process, which I approve of. JMS clearly has a lot of respect...

    WATCHMEN CHAPTER 1 - JMS

    Hey Jan, hope you and your loved ones got through the recent hurricane okay? Looked a bit dicey! Personally, I got very little out of those Before Watchmen spin offs. Some great creators attached for sure, but it all rang a bit hollow. It just wasn't needed. The cynic in me feels like it was...

    WATCHMEN CHAPTER 1 - JMS

    Oh man, you have to read the comic. It's one of those things that really uses the medium to great effect. Lots of very clever mirrored page layouts, the comic within the comic (Black Freighter), newspaper clippings, etc. It changed the landscape of superhero comics. Sadly many creators missed...

    EpDis: Midnight On The Firing Line

    I totally agree with you here. I actually love the super noir lighting and direction in The Gathering, and it turns out that's Crompton as well. B5 feels a bit more down and dirty in The Gathering. Weird. Maybe he lost interest when it went to series.

    It was the year 2023, the name of the place was...

    Great to see the series get a remaster / Blu Ray treatment even though I'm not remotely interested in physical media where my film / TV is concerned. I have a big solid state hard drive, and that does me fine. I remain very unsure about the future of B5 on the basis of TRH. I won't repeat my...

    The Road Home soundtrack release

    I have all of zero memory of the music from my one watch of TRH. Not a good sign.

    Former TNT Execs Go On Record About 'Crusade' In New Book Coming In 2024

    This would be fascinating to read because I am minded to think too much of the blame for Crusade being a dumpster fire is put on TNT. I tend to think JMS also had a big part to play in how poor it was. It's likely a team effort.

    The Road Home review thread (contains spoilers)

    All opinions are subjective. But there is a trend of 'movie' B5 being significantly less good than 'serialized B5'. Apart from In the Beginning, most of the TV movies are either passable or not very good. All IMHO, you mileage may vary, etc.

    I can do the whole lot for £24 posted in the UK if anyone wants to snag an insane bargain.

    The Road Home review thread (contains spoilers)

    I'm still coming to terms with how disappointing this was, but still kinda glad there is something new in the B5 universe. I hope it can lead to better things. I think one thing this has established is that JMS is less good at a one shot, and is better playing with a long form series. I still...

    FOR SALE: Pile of JMS Graphic Novels up for grabs (Midnight Nation / Supreme Power / Rising Stars) - UK

    Hey folks, I'm having a clear out of my graphic novel collection, and I have these from way back. Wouldn't want inflated prices for them, just for them to go to a fellow fan. I'm UK based, so UK buyers preferred but can ship further afield if you are willing to cover postage. I have the...

    The Road Home review thread (contains spoilers)

    I was thinking about this. The cool thing about the Shadows in the show was that we only ever got fleeting glimpses at them. They controlled things from behind the scenes, playing off the major powers against each other. Having rampaging hordes of shadows with shields and lasers felt a bit too...
