    B5:TLT Actual DISCUSSION Thread

    If you placed the order when they first activated the pre-order screen, before they had the release date locked in, their system may have automatically kicked out a "delay" e-mail when the date "changed" (Their default placeholder date is probably something like 01/01/2000, so any change to a...

    B5:TLT Actual DISCUSSION Thread

    There is a link somewhere on Amazon that explains the rankings in detail. Basically they are a snapshot sales of items within a category (in this case DVDs) relative to one another. So the actual sales numbers don't matter very much. If Amazon were only selling 3 DVD titles B5: TLT would be...

    Another reason Lennier probably didn't like Sheridan in the end...

    Marcus was never in even the informal chain of command the way Lennier was. Also, did Marcus ever "serve" as a member of a White Star crew under anyone but Ivanova? She would never have called Marcus anything other than Marcus, but Sheridan might well have addressed him as "Mr. Cole" if he had...

    B5:TLT Actual DISCUSSION Thread

    I think WB knows there is a market. Note the section on "marketing support" in the official press release. I am semi-disppointed that there's no scene-specific commentary track, but I figure JMS decided he covered everything in the producton diaries. Still, sometimes people remember...

    B5:TLT -- just the news. And we mean that.

    And speaking of news, TV Shows on DVD has just posted the official Warner Bros. press release. Regards, Joe

    As opposed to coming to Babylon 5 from, oh, I don't know, actual navies in the real world? :) Joe

    Another reason Lennier probably didn't like Sheridan in the end...

    When Lennier becomes part of the White Star crew under Sheridan's command, Sheridan automatically addresses him was he would any other officer below the rank of Commander (or the equivalent), as "Mr." Since Minbari don't use their family names except in very formal declarations ("Delenn of the...

    Lost Tales price predictions?

    But is this "report" from someone who is actually in a position to know something, or is this a number some fan (or internet "reporter") pulled out of his butt? Regards, Joe

    Scrapped Kosh scene's

    The thing about "variant" images is that there are so many places they can come from. Some are publicity stills, some are just candid photos snapped on the set between takes. Others are from unused takes of a scene. You have to remember that every dialogue scene is basically shot at least...

    Lost Tales price predictions?

    Yeah that's pretty much it. I don't have any actual sales numbers, but my strong suspicion is that the B5 season sets outsold the TV movie box, which outsold Crusade, which outsold the Rangers pilot. With most genre projects the "main" work attracts the most loyal fans. Peripheral and...

    Continuity errors-a list

    I thought the debate was more about whether JMS changing his mind counted as an "error". If I announce that I'm going to spend the weekend in Miami, get as far as Lauderdale, suddenly hang a right and go to Tampa instead, is that an "error"? Did I screw up and "miss" Miami or did I change my...

    Lost Tales price predictions?

    I'm curious - Why assume it is going to cost more? If anything I would think WB would be inclined to price it lower than a heavily advertised theatrical release with more "name" actors just to stay competitive. If you're assuming a smaller release means higher per unit costs than a "big" film...

    Lost Tales price predictions?

    You mean wild-ass guesses from people who have exactly as much information on this subject as you do? :) I'm always surprised when people ask this kind of question. Nobody who doesn't work for Warner Home Video has any idea how much the disc will cost, and the ones who do ain't talkin'. The...

    Continuity errors-a list

    That's exactly what they were doing, as described in ItB - by-passing civilian colonies, wiping out military forces and installations on the way to Earth. The idea seems to have been to degrade the Human defense capabilities and keep them under pressure, either destroyed or cut off from Earth...

    B5:TLT -- just the news. And we mean that.

    Not directly related to TLT, but a short blurb about how Warner Premiere, the new direct-to-disc unit that will release "Voices in the Dark" and subsequent TLT discs, continues to come together. Hope this bodes well for a decent marketing push when the time comes. Regards, Joe

    Continuity errors-a list

    That would have to be an "oversight" in writing, rehearsal, filming (several times: master shot, close up, close up, close up and probably at least two takes of each) and a review of the dailies (since they would have been able to reshoot the next day if they'd caught it.) Seems improbable to...
