Babylon 5 - Season 1:
Street date: 11/5/2002
Key highlights:
- All-new digital widescreen transfers. (Enhanced for widescreen TVs)
- Soundtrack remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1
- Introduction and commentary on 2 key episodes by series creator J. Michael Straczynski
- "BEHIND BABYLON 5" dossier of documentaries: "THE MAKING OF BABYLON 5" and "BACK TO BABYLON 5"
Contrary to what some DVD retailers have listed, the set is *6* discs,
not 5. The episodes are listed in the original broadcast order.
JMS provides further details:
The disk has an on-camera introduction by me (despite my warnings that
this would undoubtedly drive down sales), a letter of introduction
each by me and Doug Netter, and the half-hour piece features new
interviews with Rick Biggs, Stephen Furst, me, Doug, efx maven Mitch
Suskin, makeup whiz John Vulich, and others.
They're tentatively targeting next April for season 2, and the
following November for season 3.

I want, I want, I want. Really, this is why I even bought a DVD player, I knew this stuff was in the works.
