    Official: Babylon 5 coming to Blu-ray in December

    Fortunately there are two on eBay currently, both similarly priced (one is £4.69, the other £4.79, so about $6). Just to check, you can both play R2 DVDs?

    Official: Babylon 5 coming to Blu-ray in December

    The D'Agostini version sounds like it's the same as the German version, and in fact the menu screen is exactly the same as the regular UK version of the TNT edition. Would you like me to get one off eBay for you and ship it over?

    Official: Babylon 5 coming to Blu-ray in December

    I don't know about the complete boxset or the Turkish edition, but the original version of The Gathering was also released on Region 2 DVD by D'Agostini. It formed the first issue of a part-work publication called Babylon 5: The Official Fact Files, I believe only four issues were ever produced...

    Official: Babylon 5 coming to Blu-ray in December

    A thread on reddit suggests that the episodes with missing scenes on streaming are all complete on the blu-rays. Hurrah! No word yet about other errors like the wrong opening sequence on the first two eps of season 2, or the missing special fx in the ISN broadcast from Endgame. Also apparently...

    Official: Babylon 5 coming to Blu-ray in December

    Have any reviews of this box set dropped yet? I saw that TrekCore have their review copy Would be interested in what the presentation values of the box set are like, and whether the various errors in some of the remastered episodes made available for streaming (i.e. missing scenes] have been...

    A quick question about souls

    I knew about the dramatisation aspect – a documentary made by the Anla'Shok (I didn't know it was 2295 though; it means that the segments of Deconstruction of Falling Stars couldn't be part of that dramatization) – it was just the souls aspect I was querying really. I suppose I can see Delenn...

    A quick question about souls

    I knew I wasn't going mad – I mentioned that I remembered JMS saying something about souls and stars in relation to Sleeping in Light, and I've just looked at the Lurker's Guide page for the episode and found it. To quote JMS: " I also think you'll find some interesting tie-offs in this...

    I've never thought about buying a production script because aside from having a memento of something used on set, I'd assumed that everything would have been in JMS' scriptbooks, but it looks like they contain loads of production information! I may have to look into getting hold of one next time...

    This is my binder plus a few magazines, mostly special issues, that I kept intact. I cut out all the B5 articles about 20 years ago because as you say all those magazines took up so much room. I've got all the Official B5 Magazines intact too. Here are some of the cuttings: Here's...

    Show off your B5 collectibles

    I've got a big folder with cuttings of all the B5 articles from a plethora of UK magazines (and some US) – TV Zone, Starburst, Dreamwatch, Cult Times and SFX, plus I've got the complete run of the official B5 magazine. I've never actually sat down and tried to match up those articles with the...

    I'm sure there's a sensible reason why you have nine copies ;):D Notice you have some Laserdiscs. Prior to the news of the Blu-ray boxset I had considered them from time to time, they're kind of defunct now but as presentation pieces how do they stack up?

    I'd love to be able to get the hardback editions of these books, but the cost of shipping to the UK is too prohibitive, and since I already have the earlier editions, it wouldn't be money well spent. I still need to pick up the new Crusade books, but again the shipping costs are preventing me at...

    A new addition to the collection, something I've been after for a long time. Best of all, it only cost me £10 on eBay! Needed a good wash but I'm delighted to finally have one. Next on my wanted list is the fan club pin badges - the station, Narn cruiser, Shadow ship etc.

    The Road Home soundtrack release

    The score to TRH has been released on digital only by Dynamic Music Partners, I downloaded it from the iTunes Store but I presume it's available through other avenues too, Google Play, Amazon etc. I didn't like it unfortunately, and though I'm a completist on this kind of thing, I regret...

    Can anyone ID this ship?

    Yes, they're the gunships seen in GROPOS, and that's the attack fleet coming to take over B5 in Severed Dreams. Like the Hyperion cruisers those gunships disappeared in the battle!

    B5 Animated Movie

    The composers who produced the music for The Road Home have announced that they're going to release the score on 27th October. No word on whether it's digital only or if there will be a physical release. While I hope for the latter I suspect it may only be the former. I wasn't that enamoured by...

    Two JMS books coming in 2021

    Speaking of books, I'm definitely going to get JMS' upcoming book The Glass Box (its sf! Sounds like the first real sf he's written since B5, not counting TRH of course) - annoyingly in the UK it's not due for release by Titan until March and only in paperback, so I'll have to order the hardback...

    Members of the Interstellar Alliance

    The ISN newsreader in The Road Home definitely describes it as a "12-world alliance". The B5 wiki lists more than 12 worlds, and to be honest I don't know how trustworthy the wiki is (I'm pretty sure the Enphili were not in the alliance, for example) . The B5 Encyclopedia doesn't list the member...

    Members of the Interstellar Alliance

    They're all members of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, but given that TRH says there's only 12 members of the Alliance, it seems some joined and some haven't (yet). I liked the Iksha's spacecraft and it was a shame we didn't see them again. And yes the Abbai, that was the race where Robin...

    Members of the Interstellar Alliance

    While re-watching The Road Home the other day, I noticed that the ISN newsreader said that there were 12 members of the ISA. I set about wondering if I could name them all: Earth Minbar Narn Drazi Brakiri Hyach Pak'ma'ra Gaim Vree Who are the other three members? By this point in the show the...
