Yup. And damn, did those 'Furies look good! :D

Really? I got a real sense of familiarity looking at the station, and thought it looked gorgeous. It's as though seeing it in the series was through an ever so slightly hazy piece of glass, and seeing it in TLT was after a quick polish that let you see through the glass more clearly.

That could have been rather wasteful and inefficient, are you sure it isn't that the ship begins to rotate at the same speed so that when you look from the ship to the station it appears to have stopped, and when you drop back to an 'objective' perspective you can see the spin again? I'll have...

From what I remember from 'In The Beginning', the B5 'Price of Peace' comics that deal with Sinclair going to Minbar and a new leader being selected, and the novel 'To Dream in the City of Sorrows' which follows on from it with the tale of Sinclair up until he becomes Valen, the Leader is...

Yes it does. The ship can fly in through a circular hole without spinning, but it would still need to start spinning to dock with a spinning space station. And you have to remember that movements and rotations in space are all relative. It wouldn't be hard at all to start the ship spinning at a...

I disagree (not that the work was revolutionary but that remaking it would be insulting) with that. The artistic merit in the work was in the designs and the animations. The resolution of the models and textures was a compromise of the design work with the real-world technical and budgetary...

That's one opinion. My own is that I generally couldn't care less for the character. The best thing about that whole story strand was Passing Through Gethsemane, and that was more because of Brad Dourif and his character.

Not sure why you keep using examples from Star Wars to counter points about B5, seems rather a straw-man sort of tactic. No-one was suggesting that B5 actors be replaced with CGI, just that the B5 CGI be replaced with better resolution B5 CGI, and the composite shots re-done with all the detail...

That's stretching my analogy further than intended, in such a way as to be rather misleading. A remastered HD presentation with re-created CGI and composite shots would actually better present the acting and cinematography, and if the CGI was faithfully recreated it would better show off the...

I definitely would, if they were done to a high quality and with appropriate reverence/respect to the original intent. The story is sacrosanct, but the shiny packaging is not. I wouldn't view it as tampering with the Mona Lisa, so much as dusting her off, putting her in a brand new frame with...

You see, I disagree. Though there were very few of the great B5 cast in it, I maintain it has just about the best supporting cast of any B5 I can remember. They all impressed me very much (would love to see more Vintari in future discs), and I loved the dialogue JMS wrote for them. In The...

Can there be jelly, too? In which case Six, Ivanova, Aeryn Sun and Kaylee in a tag team match. :D

Since I'm ordering 3 discs at once, I'm getting free postage with Amazon, too. And even if I wasn't, my book/DVD/comic obsession would mean I could probably lump it in with another order at a similar time of the month for free postage*. :^) * For example, Battlestar Galactica Season 3 comes out...

I've not heard anything since the first announcement that it would be on XBox Live, and that said it would be day-and-date with the DVD release. Sorry. :(

That was a really good review, Shabaz. Very articulate and well thought out, and I agree pretty strongly with most of your points.

Woah! Time to cancel my play.com pre-order and get on Amazon!

Actually I disagree. I think the Vorlons and Shadows were supposed to be evenly matched, and the only reason they won that battle so easily was because of the element of surprise. They jumped in right next to some unwary Shadow ships, firing as they came.

That's a matter of opinion (my own is that the TNT cut is much better), however since the TNT cut is JMS' preferred version, I think that should be the one sold. At the very least, there shouldn't be two different versions in circulation that use identical packaging (which is misleading in one...

As with the fact that what seemed to be the big, bombastic good-versus-evil fight was actually a war of ideas that was resolved diplomatically with words, and the seeming political/ideological conflict was resolved in the end by pounding the hell out of the bad guys! :D

Actually you're not quite right. I didn't want anything to do with the original cut when I bought my Complete Universe Boxset from amazon.co.uk, yet the one in it *was* the original cut. Apparently there's no way to tell with the UK release which version you've got until you put it in and watch...
