    Babylon 5 on Blu-Ray?

    Thanks for the info, I'm still sure about the DRM on blu-ray, though. Babylon 5 was shot on film, so provided they redo the CGI to match the better resolution, we may see a new version sooner or later. Although my bet is they'll only do it if they make more TLT stories to get new fans for the show.

    Babylon 5 on Blu-Ray?

    It's a shame really, because the HD-DVD discs have bigger capacity. I would expect that they'd be used in data storage and the like, and maybe we'll get DVD burners for computers that use both. I suspect that the studios chose blu-ray because it has more copy protection than the HD-DVD format...

    Babylon 5 on Blu-Ray?

    I don't think so, not unless they render the CGI again. The DVDs as they are look a hundred times better than they ever did on first broadcast, but the CGI simply isn't of a high enough resolution to match any high-definition TV format. Even though more and more movies are being shot in a...

    Babylon 5 Season DVDs

    The network screwed things up for Crusade, and as they shot only 13 episodes, it was only half a season out of an intended five-season arc. So we just got a taste... I and my boyfriend bought ourselves the Babylon 5 - Complete universe box set for last Christmas. I don't think I could date...

    Sorry for the down time today...

    I missed it too, thankfully.

    EpDis: The Fall Of Night

    Indeed, and that's not really how I saw it. I don't think Kosh would have unmasked to save just anybody, but he already knew Sheridan had a special destiny and had to be saved. The Vorlons were just waiting for the right moment to unmask, and I guess this was as good a time as any.

    Mindwalker and Evolution

    Yes, I think he led and Sheridan followed. Although it wasn't evolution, but rather an effect of genetic manipulation, and in Sheridan's case a consequence of dying and being resurrected.

    The Hobbit (& its sequel)

    I loved LotR, and even if Denethor was a bit over the top in RotK, I'm not that bothered. My only gripe is the attempt to imply the possibility of a relationship between Aragorn and Eowyn, while I loved the envious yet noble Faramir, who was too unreal to be true in the book - I'd go so far as...

    Pratchett and Alzheimer's

    Yes, it's devastating really. Still, he was quite upbeat about it in his blog.Scroll down to "An Embuggerance" for more.

    Nice one Markas! :D

    CompUniv: Sabre rattling?

    I must say I agree with that assessment, vacantlook.

    CompUniv: Sabre rattling?

    They did. Not as much as they modified the Minbari between The Gathering and the series itself, though. Delenn looked positively murderous in The Gathering!

    CompUniv: Sabre rattling?

    Yeah, I am. It would be interesting to compare the two properly, though. The Sabre Rattling still confuses me!

    CompUniv: Sabre rattling?

    I and my boyfriend just bought B5 - The Complete Universe as a Christmas present to ourselves. We already bought TLT earlier this year, the only episode/movie not included in the box set. Needless to say it's huge and a lot of fun, but one thing really puzzles me: on the DVD cover the very first...

    Favourite B5 Episode......and Why?

    There are so many good ones that we're spoiled for choice. I'm in the process of watching the show again from beginning to end, so I'll get back to you on that...

    Favourite B5 Character........and Why?

    Ivanova, she has so many great lines. The repartee between G'Kar and Londo comes close second, but you can't really have one without the other.

    Favourite Line(s) from any Episode of B5

    There are far too many to name!

    Product Placement in TV

    Product placement is banned here too. I don't mind it as long as it's relatively subtle, as in the neon ads in Blade Runner, for example. I do hate in your face PP though.

    Robin Hood

    I loved the Michael Praed RH and cried bitter tears when Sean Connery took over. I've heard so many negative reviews that I think I'll give this one a miss. Even if it does have the delectable Richard Armitage as Sir Guy of Gisbourne.

    Greatest Moment

    There are so many I couldn't possibly pick just one.
