@raymaccarthy @cos Agree. Does it exist on DVD?

Ray McCarthy

@aburtch @cos
Yes, since ages ago. Even a box set with the cancelled sequel series. I just lent my big box set to my son for his kids to watch.

Due to the cost of tape storage the CGI backup was scrapped (filled a warehouse) so BD version is hardly better.
USA is 480 lines and may have cuts if the USA TV version.. NTSC DVDs need progressive players for film source.

Version edited for UK & Ireland is longer and 576 lines. PAL DVDs have never needed Progressive players.

Pretty sure you can watch it on Plex for free, with ads.

Ray McCarthy

@aburtch @cos
Also on BD, but not worth paying extra for.

@aburtch @cos the number of ads will probably be annoying.

@aburtch @raymaccarthy @cos yes, the box set is fantastic, I have it all and have ripped them to my media server ages ago.

@aburtch @cos Emperor Cartagia did nothing wrong.

@aburtch @cos I love B5. But watching The Gathering I remember how much the (non G'Kar, Londo, Garibaldi) acting sucked.

aburtch

@awfulwoman Oh yeah, it could be terrible at times.

@raymaccarthy The "remastered" version (4:3 but better quality) isn't out on DVD is it? Just Bluray and streaming, so DVDs would just be the old (16:9 but worse quality) ones. @aburtch @cos

@aburtch @cos Je ne suis jamais content: Mais c'est sur YT! Why not on PT #Peertube ?

@aburtch @cos Ho merde it is not in français. Why not Multi ?

@aburtch looks like they skipped episode 2? (actually episode 1 since they called the pilot movie episode 1)

Tagging @sdelling for possible interest...

@aburtch I've never watched it. Others were watching it but jumping into it a few years in wasn't possible back then, so i never joined in.
