[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8204587, member: 7023840"] I don't know if I missed this post, but this is YUUUUUGE news. I had been waiting for Babylon 5 to be released on HBO Max, but apparently (I still can't believe this ....) ..... IT HAS BEEN REMASTERED! O. M. G. For those of you not familiar with B5 (as it is known), it is one of the groundbreaking 90s sci-fi shows that started kinda-serialized, and then went nearly full serialization as the show went on. Admittedly, the budgets didn't always keep pace with the ideas, but it was an amazing and influential show. However, one of the huge issues was the CGI scenes, which were groundbreaking for the time, but ... well, required additional work. It's not perfect; apparently, they went with a 4:3 for the remaster even though the original was filmed in widescreen (I'm guessing due to CGI issues, again), but still. What's more, maybe that means there's hope for shows like DS9? Anyway, thought you should know. Here's a link to one of the many websites that made the announcement: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.space.com/babylon-5-remastered-streaming-amazon-itunes-hbo-max[/URL] Feel free to comment about anything you want to in the comments! (As for me, this show will always hold a special place in my heart; I still remember waiting for each and every episode each week to find out what happened, and to discuss it with my friends ... not to mention looking at the nascent web and the Lurker's Guide to see if there was additional analysis ... in the 90s!)
