It's just another example of how fandom is taken advantage of, though I don't think it's anything new when it comes to autographs. Nearly 20 years ago I met Buzz Aldrin at an autograph convention in London. He charged £100 for a plain autograph, another £5 to write 'Apollo 11', another £10 to...

That's awesome - a really cool idea taking the photos while they signing! Looks like they were taken at different cons (in the Rick Biggs picture, we can see the Andreas Katsulas photo, so that must have been a different con).

Yeah I saw the apology, but he still doesn't get Star Trek. To claim that Star Trek, and science fiction more broadly, shouldn't be addressing sociocultural issues misses, well, a large part of the point of what science fiction is. He's entitled to his opinion of course, and I'm entitled to...

That's how I felt about Discovery season 1. Amazing science fiction, but it wasn't Star Trek. If it had been its own thing, I think we would have been lauding it today as one of the great SF TV shows. Obviously from season 2 onwards they conformed more with what we expect Trek to be, not always...

The photo cards were store exclusives, and they are so hard to find now! Did you get the UK video releases in Sweden, or were they different? And @Looney – there's some sealed videotapes up on UK eBay right now – I'm telling myself I don't need them. I like collecting VHS. While I'd never...

Yep, the same for me, TOS re-runs on BBC on Wednesday nights I think, before Points of View. My mum would work late so my dad would allow me to stay up late to watch it. I remember watching the episode Arena when I was about five or six. I also went to the cinema to see The Voyage Home. So TOS...

I liked parts of seasons 1 and 2 of Picard, but both had bad endings in my opinion and didn't really hold up overall. Season 3 was uniformly excellent (I know cynics will moan about it being nostalgic, but tough). I did like Discovery, though it veered between excellent and atrocious. I think...

It was meant to have been Takashima who would shoot Garibaldi in Chrysalis, and then her assistant, one Susan Ivanova, would take her place in season 2. The reasoning partially being Tamlyn Tomita had a burgeoning movie career and JMS didn't think they'd be able to keep her longer than one...

Special edition or original version? As I mentioned in the YouTube thread, I recently watched the special edition and it was so much better than I remembered, even Christopher Franke's music which felt a bit subdued and recycled, though I still feel he should have gone for a style closer to his...

They've definitely vanished for me. I looked on both Clipzone and Warner Bros. Clipzone does still have some clips from those episodes though. Maybe it's a regional thing?

Well that didn't last long... Warners changed their minds and took the episodes off YouTube. I wonder if the episodes were getting more views than expected - they were doing pretty well - and someone at WB decided they would rather all these people pay to watch it rather than give it away for...

Another VHS oddity I found – a double set of volume 32 (Matters of Honour and Convictions) and the Making of Babylon 5 documentary. This is the only time the documentary was released on VHS, though we got it later on the season 1 DVD boxset. This is a WH Smith exclusive. HMV also had their own...

If you ever find someone who could paint them, let me know! They've released more characters since I last posted, including a Shadow!

They've now uploaded Soul Hunter, and they've made it clearer on the channel that Warner Bros are involved. Now there's no excuse for people not to be able to watch the show - they just have to wait another 108 weeks for them to upload every episode! Adverts are the bane of my YouTube...

Thanks! The (UK based) seller does have a full set of season 1 tapes from the USA, but they have been opened and it doesn't say anything on the packaging about trading cards and that link you provided says the cards were only in re-releases of the earlier seasons. The price is very low for them...

If you click on the Clipzone name beneath a video it says it is with two collaborators, including WB Entertainment. The YouTube algorithms are usually pretty strict in flagging copyright breaches, so given the two episodes are still up I'm assuming they have permission from WB. And their content...

There's two new YouTube channels posting B5 content. One is called ClipZone: Beyond Infinity and appears to be affiliated with Warner Bros, and so far they have posted The Gathering SE and Midnight on the Firing Line to watch in full: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl3Vf8heuOumLuC_toRYGXg The...

I recently won these Skybox trading cards on eBay, which apparently came with some of the VHS sets in the US. Does anyone know which video sets they came with, and whether there were any more cards exclusive to the videos in the US?

I think there does need to be a way at least for star furies that have entered the front docking bay to be transported to the launch bays in the hab section. I imagine this would be achieved through a central corridor and then some kind of moving platforms that cut down through to the ends of...

Sorry for the necro-thread, but I was trying to make sense of the assassination attempt on Londo in this episode. So Mariel was trying to kill him, and bought the statue. Question: how did she know that the statue contained the booby trap? Stoner must have told her, but there's no indication...
