I never owned the DVDs, although I did get some of them from Netflix back when that was a thing people did. I can’t really remember much about how it looked. But the old streaming video was TERRIBLE: fuzzy, washed out, and almost unwatchable.  I had honestly thought the alien makeup had aged really badly, but no, it…

I mean, Lost Tales was boring, but at least it wasn’t as abjectly stupid as Legends of the Rangers.

It wasn’t a coincidence and JMS proves as such pretty comprehensively in his autobiography.

I vaguely remember there was even an attempt to do a direct-to-DVD series about ten or twelve years back with some of the original cast members.

They may be dated by today’s standards

I honestly thought the old streaming copies looked terrible. If my choices are between a 4:3 image that looks that good, or a 16:9 that looks as bad as it did, I’ll take quality over the aspect ratio any day of the week.

But individual episodes sometimes contain both and some of the best writing I’ve ever seen, and the absolute worst

I like B5 a lot, but there is a lot more filler, even in the really plot-heavy seasons, than I remembered. And a lot of that filler is...not good.

If it’s still in print, there was a blu-ray release that contained a cobbled-together director’s cut. It doesn’t feel quite as complete as the Donner Cut of Superman II, because they work with more primitive sources (including some things that were on video tape), but it gives you a much better idea of what they were…

If you own any on iTunes, you can preview it. It used to a REALLY bad looking 16:9 version, which was really fuzzy. It’s redone as a much sharper 4:3.

WRT developing women and people of color: I hope that they do more with Dayna, the woman who comes close to assassinating Flagg. She’s about the only real woman of action in the book, and I think got short shrift in the miniseries

(I recall when Larry’s mother in ep 1 says of his songs, “You sound Black,” with Larry replying with a cheesy “Black” voice [...shudder] It was not good.)

They’d hinted that Dani and Karma might have had a thing before.

“Facade,” the story about Element Girl is probably my least favorite issue of the entire run of the comic, but between Samantha Morton and Kat Dennings, I actually ended up tearing up a little.

I did think there was something poetic that the two shows ported over from TechTV (if we consider Attack of the Show a reboot of Screen Savers, which is was, at least as first) were the only ones from the days before the merge that lasted.

Jodie has a cool subplot about choosing a school and getting pressure from her dad to go to a historically Black college, grappling with what she wants and what’s expected of her, etc.

I wish they’d at least have given Vanessa Marshall a voice cameo.  We got to hear Ashoka and Kanan speak to Rey.  They owed Hera that much.

The Ghost showed up in Rise of Skywalker too.

It’s my ringtone.  I ain’t ashamed.

Michelle Hurd says yes.
