Something new! The release date for Babylon 5: The Lost Tales has been set for July 31st! Featuring two stories with Sheridan, Lochley and Galen, we hope it is just the first of many new DVDs!

Basically new stories in babylon 5 universe that are not from that crapy 1 season show based on one of the movies, can't even remember the name of it lol. but hye not sure if these are new created ones or shows that never aired, but still somthing to look into.

You mean Crusade? I liked it, I thought it had promise but TNT canned the show before the first one aired.

Anyway, these are brand new, just filmed end of last year.

What didn't you like about "Crusade" Vegeta? I thought it was really good and some of the new characters were great like Galen and Max.

As for the "Lost Tales", I'll be buying all of those dvd's as soon as they are available.

I still need to get the origional 5 series lol but I will most likelay get this as well. As for crusades, it was just well EH, never could keep my attention.

I've been watching B5 from episode 1 for the past two months at the weekends, even the wife likes it, and i am currently in the middle of series 5 and then i will watch the movies.

From what i can tell from reading a lot of stuff on the net Crusade would never have been as good as B5 due to TNT interfering with JMS's scripts and demanding changes to virtually every episode he wrote even to the point of demanding changes to the uniforms half way through filming the series wanting more sex in the series and reshooting the first 2 episodes!

TV execs just can't leave a good thing alone can they.

Anyway i'll be getting those new DVD's when they come out for sure.

TNT was trying to kill off Crusade. After they took S5 of B5 (and didn't mess with it all) and signed on for the TV movies and Crusade, they found just as Crusade's production was starting that their regular viewers switched off B5 as the B5 viewers switched on, then vice versa at the end. In short, it wasn't bringing in new viewers to the channel's other programming and current viewers weren't interested.
A year on, they decided Crusade was going to go, but the problem was it hadn't started airing yet! They couldn't claim the show had bad ratings! Instead they decided to make JMS' life a living hell by interfering and interfering until finally he got fed up and ignored their retarded notes. Once he did that, they had the out to cancel the series.
All 13 eps made and finished (and the rest cancelled) before 1 even aired. They then aired the 13 out of order (even the DVDs have them in the wrong order, they're in the airing order) based on putting the "interesting" Galen episodes all up front instead of having him come and go throughout the season.
When the SF Channel aired them years back, they were in JMS' preferred order, which was very different, and the "pilot" (which was actually the 2nd pilot, done at TNT's request, and obvious for the stupid fight scene with the Captain at the start) was aired last, as the afterthought it was.

I'm very glad to hear that you and the wife have been enjoying Babylon 5. Do you have any favorite characters so far? The one character which I found fascinating and just loved was Londo Mollari. I also saw a lot of my real self in his character so that endeared me to him even more.

By the way, the B5 series finale will blow you away. ;-)
