Good to hear but I was kind of hoping the Ranger one from a year or so ago would be on there too.

What the hell?? No Legend Of The Rangers? I really liked that one!
Would they put that one out as part of the Crusade set? I doubt it, but I'd like to see LOTR on DVD. Even without Legend of the Rangers this is still a "must buy." |
It would be nice if they would include the scenes cut from "The Gathering" to make the "Special Edition," or even include the original version somehow. I really want to see the zoo-like Alien Sector again. :)
(Don't get me wrong, though, the revamped "The Gathering" is vastly superior to the original.) |
Sweet! The day before my birthday too so this will make a nice present.
|
I Babylon 5 thread with 9 posts already and not one of them is das? -ohbfrank-
Gettin' lazy in your old age, Mr. Monkey. |
More B5!!! YAAAY!

I'd love for them to release the original version on DVD for comparison... maybe even with a JMS commentary/documentary showing some of the things he did. For now, the only 'official' way to get the original is through the Columbia House TV club. And only on VHS. I picked it up for $4 a couple of years ago. |
Nice! I already have the The Gathering/ In the Beginning dvd, but will gladly pick up this box set.

So has anyone read anything explaining why Legend Of The Rangers isn't in this box set?
Seasons 1-5 were all 6 disc sets, and adding Legend Of The Rangers would make this a 6 disc set, so I don't get why they didn't include it. |

Also, don't really care for Legend, so I'm happy with it as is. ;) |
I'd say Legend of the Rnagers will come out when Crusade does.
Otherwise, YAY! |
I've JUST started watching B5 through the CH TV Edition (can't beat $9.99 for two season sets) and I hope they get seasons 4 and 5 soon so I can finish up the series.
Anyway, from what I know of the show it was only intended to run for five seasons from the get-go, and then they did a few movies afterwards? And these are those? So what is the other stuff that people are complaining isn't in this set? |
Originally posted by jough So what is the other stuff that people are complaining isn't in this set? 2. Legend of the Rangers is a movie that came out a couple of years ago. Sci-Fi Channel was going to use it to spin off a new B5 show, but it didn't live up to ratings expectations (playing it opposite one of the best football games in history didn't help much) and they scrapped the idea. |
It's funny, Sci-Fi showed "Legend of the Rangers" last night. I thought the acting was pretty bad, but the story was interesting. So that was just a one-off pilot movie, then?
|
I watched it too and was surprised at how bad parts of it were. I haven't seen Babylon 5 in quite some time but don't recall it being that poor in quality both in acting and some of the writing.
|
"Crusade" only lasted 13 episodes. Perhaps "Legend of the Rangers" will be included with the inevitable "Crusade" release to add more content.
|
I caught part of this last night and wasn't too impressed. Is this par for the course for B5?

I thought it would have made more sense to include LOTR in the movie box set rather than the Crusade set since G'Kar has a prominent role in LOTR, and since it has nothing to do with Crusade, but that's just me.
The only part of LOTR that I didn't really like was the "VR" weapons control deal. That was pretty lame. Other than that I thought it was pretty good. |
Originally posted by bryandean I wouldn't say so. The story of the B5 series is one of my favorite sci-fi arcs. The acting I would also say ranges from fairly good to great at moments. Watching Legend of the Rangers made me cringe. It had a confusing story-line and some questionable acting performances. I taped all the shows and still watch them from time to time... but will probably go ahead and buy the sets on dvd. I agree that The Legend of the Rangers was pretty bad.... |
