Babylon 5 Season One DVD set.

[Tabitha]

Anyone going to pick this one up?

I am thinking about it, but as the song says, "money's too tight to mention", so it might have to wait till later.

Go here for more details:

DVD's

I most certainly am getting it, but I'll be waiting untl the R1 set comes out [ R2 in Oct, R1 in Nov 2002]. I can play R2's on my DVD and computer, but This series I'm playing holdout unless the US bails and doesn't complete it. I ordered them prerelease from Amazon with a discount code I got off of Warner Bro's BBS. I think I comes to $62 US or so counting S&H.

Rowan< who's finishing up Stargate and Farscape in R2 so she at least has them...

Rowan, goto DVD Soon. I went and checked the price for the reg 1 version, including posting to England it's going to cost you just under £40 .

Oh and HMV are doing Stargate DVD's for £10 each .

 

[Rowan]

Thanks!

Thanks, Triffid! I'm always up for adding a new DVD supplier to my list. :} That's a great price and I'll probably go ahead and cancel my Amazon order and go with them. I see they also have a pre-order on 'Due South', another fav of mine.

As for HMV - they were the only ones who listed Michael Shanks' movie 'Suddenly Naked'. It's on it's way to me as we speak.

I really enjoyed watching this DVD set.. it's been a while since I watched B5 properly, as it is now showing on Bravo in the UK, which I don't get.

The DVDs are great, well produced and packaged etc, well worth it if anyone hasn't already got them

S1 & S2

I'm happy with mine and eagerly awaiting the S2 release.

My hubby got me this set for Christmas and I love it. So when does season 2 come out any way? I can't wait
:blpaw:

 

[Rowan]

Okay ...

I found this on a UK DVD board:
==================================
You should probably take this as rumour at the moment as I haven't seen anything official. Several sources however are stating that Season 2 is due for release on 29th April 2003 and special features are listed as:

Introduction by producer/creator J. Michael Straczynski and various cast members
2 episode commentaries by producer/creator J. Michael Straczynski
Episode commentary by cast members Bruce Boxleitner, Claudia Christian and Jerry Doyle
Building Babylon: Blueprint of an Episode featurette
Shadows and Dreams: Honors of Babylon featurette
The Universe of Babylon 5 data/tech/personnel files
Babylon 5 Timeline
Original episode promos
======================================

I also see the same confirmation on the Warner Brothers BBS.

Someone said that DeepDiscountDVD.com is taking advance orders, but I don't that for sure.

Just came from deepdiscountdvd.com and they *are* taking pre-release orders for the S2 full set for region 1. It's $74.99 US.

Hang on, all -

I've heard that the season 1 DVD set is nothing more than a cheap lift from video, and that the quality is pretty below standard.

I figure if buying the DVD, it's worth having digital DVD quality, not video.

Any comments?

I've seen this before, but I've recently watched through this series and i was struck by how good this series actually was..

Even though this show is what? 16 years old, i didn't feel that it was dated at all. OK people have complained about the special effects, but i had no problem with them whatsoever. Infact, the bioships come out brilliantly IMO.

OK, Michael O'Hare was a bit wooden. But he protrayed a great character in Sinclair.

I was really impressed by how quickly the storylines for further seasons where laid down so neatly. (Obviously, i wouldn't know on my initial viewing what was coming.) I really enjoyed it, but it came with the sad tint of nostalgia. It's just a shame that we'll not see another series on our screens again.

I particularly enjoyed the chilling cruelty of the Dilgard Warmaster and her legacy in Deathwalker. They really should have made something of her and the Dilgar war. Pehaps in one of their TV movies.

I cannot wait to start watching series two.
