Just to clarify, we don't actually *see* Zathras bring the triluminaries specifically. I had to search for which episode their origin was mentioned in, looks like it was explained by Delenn in Atonement – a detail that was easy to have missed or forgotten (I had!) Btw, welcome to the forum...

No, this version hasn't been released on DVD before, and it's not exactly the same as the Laserdiscs as I don't believe they were taken from the original masters (though someone might correct me on that). This remaster was made around 2021, I think, it's only been made available on streaming...

I really disliked the Shadow vessels in TRH. Why did it have writhing tentacles? JMS has said he mostly let the animation designers use their own creativity, and I'm all for not stifling creativity, but you don't mess with a classic design like the Shadow vessels. Same with the White Star. From...

JMS gets asked this a lot, this is one tweet I found where he responds to those questions about Crusade. I understand his point of view – to WB, and the general audience, it is very niche.

If they'd ended there I would agree with you, but then they just had to go and make those movies... First Contact aside, Picard fixed many of the mistakes of those movies for me!

Whatcha talking about, Picard season 3 was great! With that and B5 coming out on blu-ray, I feel like I'm getting some proper closure on my two favourite science fiction shows.

JMS called it a "love-letter to the fans" but has also talked about it being accessible to new viewers. Maybe that side of things was mandated by WBs not wanting it to be too niche so they could market it better? But I agree that this results in a split personality the film has that is somewhat...

Just watching it again, with the commentary on, and JMS confirms that the woman's voice on the radio on Z'Ha'Dum is Anna, but there wasn't time to explain who she is.

Perhaps. but Sheridan would still remember the details from his own timeline even if the new timeline has different details.

I did think about that when I wrote my review. That was a much more complex situation, since Sheridan had just blown up his ex-wife, who Delenn hadn't told him was still alive, so there was this question of whether Sheridan even trusted her or could forgive her. There was lots of subtext. I...

Amazon came through and sent me The Road Home three days early! And now I've had the pleasure of watching the first new Babylon 5 in 16 years, if my maths is correct. What did I think of it? Well, I'm still not entirely sure what I think of it! [Beware some spoilers in my comments below, but...

IT IS HERE. (@Looney I see what you mean about not getting a perfect slip case.)

Check your bank account – I got a notification from bank last night that money had gone out, but the dispatch note from Amazon didn't come through until this morning.

Just got a dispatch message from Amazon, they say TRH will arrive by the 14th but it'll probably arrive sooner. Hope so anyway, would be good to watch it over the weekend!

I quite like Delenn's voice here. It must be difficult to get the accent right but Rebecca Riedy has Mira's intonation down perfectly in my estimation. My worry was that Delenn was suddenly going to get an American accent.

We're definitely in the midst of the B5 renaissance! How far this goes we'll just have to see, but with the blu-rays topping the best-sellers lists, The Road Home getting lots of fanfare, and articles like this one in The Atlantic, hopefully it will be enough to convince the powers that be to...

It's now available to pre-order on Amazon UK for £70 – that's a much better price than I feared. Also available at HMV for a penny less. On Amazon UK it's ranking number 2 for Blu-ray ahead of the Picard season 3 steelbook! It shows what a good price the B5 boxset is too – 111 episodes for £70...

Great stuff, I've seen conflicting opinions on social media but I'm looking forward to seeing for myself next month! Should we make a dedicated The Road Home review thread? Then general discussion about TRH can stay in this thread and spoiler discussion in the review thread?

Hi Brett, welcome to the forum! I didn't realise that The Gathering was in widescreen on streaming. I think it is regular 4:3 on the DVD, though I admit I haven't watched it in a while's I might be mis-remembering. I do know that the master tapes for The Gathering were apparently lost so they...

So, with the original version of The Gathering being the one available on streaming, and now reports that the Blu-ray will have the original version but none of the other movies, I have to wonder, is there a rights issue with the TNT movies, where Warners don't want to pay TNT anything? If so...
