My etailer says packaging. I think I might have it by Monday I hope!
they did rescue B5 by presenting the first wave of syndicated reruns, plus financing an extra season of the series.And several TV movies. All of which happened while the show as being handled by the TNT Productions people. Things were fine until the suits in Atlanta became involved. And I've always thought that S5 played better on repeated viewings than it did in its original run. I think one reason people so hated the teep arc is that each week when they tuned in they were hoping for something else, knowing that there were only "x" number of episodes left, and that there were so many story threads to deal with.

One of the reasons I've been looking forward to a review of the set is to find out if the "gag reel" is just the one or two clips that were aired on the Dick Clark "Bloopers" shows (for which the studio has rights) or something more extensive.Hmmm. Both of those were season 3 outtakes... "War Without End" and "Severed Dream" plus one from Season 1 ("Survivors"). Be kind of strange to send them out with season 2.
*Sigh* For various reasons it made the most sense for me to order from Amazon.com this time around - which means I'll have to wait until next week because they never ship before street date.Mine shipped from Amazon.com on monday. Though I won't be getting it before May...
Having said all that I had no complaints about the S1 sound. The deep bass was there where you'd expect it (like the space combat scenes) and the "station noises" ambience was fine - not overpowering, just enough to be there.
I don't remember any space combat scenes having deep bass. Joe, which space battles do you remember having deep bass effects?
I remember seeing some early reviews of S1 where people complained about the sound and all I can say is that on my system I didn't notice any of the problems they were talking about.even with my full system, it still happens to me. :frowning:
In a usenet post yesterday JMS confirmed that S3 is about finishing post production, and that he and Warner Bros. are in talks about bringing the 13 existing Crusade episodes to DVD.Interesting. I am a huge fan of everything B5 but I can't see myself buying part of a single season of Crusade knowing that there is nothing else to come.
