The Big One posted:- A pdf linked directly from Ivanova's article about what happens to Marcus' body after all those years of cryogenic suspension, written by JMS. I thought it was an interesting read: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wvwyu4tb4nj Jesus Marcus is a creeper. And why was that formatted so poorly/

Blindeye posted:Same story with B5, Warner Brothers claims B5 as a loss, but JMS says that their losses include every set of a cancelled TV pilot they could tag onto B5's "costs." The quote from JMS is something along the lines of "if a warehouse in India burns down, it gets charged to B5."

Number_6 posted:And if you look closely at the DVD screenshot and compare it to the original 4:3 version, you'll notice the 4:3 version has sharper details. The yellow "windows" on that large green ship in the foreground are crisper, and you can see hull texture lines better. And the starfield in the background is also more visible in the 4:3 version. B5's CGI looks better on my VHS tapes of B5 aired in 4:3 than it does on the blurry 16:9 DVD version. The plan was to re-render the effects in the future when computers could do it better, so they never bothered to save a decent copy of the renders. Seriously, just read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon_5#Mastering_problems That link should go in the OP of every Babylon5 thread, because it always comes up.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:The tragedy is that JMS actually wanted to save a copy of all the render data, but Warner Bros said "hey, we really want you to leave it. we'll take care of it, just don't make your own copy." and JMS believed them. And then he had to go to fan models to do the CGI for lost tales.

Number_6 posted:If anyone's really into B5 music, I saw this site posted in the Star Trek megathread. Has some of the major themes from each season. And if someone's really really into B5 music check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Be_Five The album's not too hard to find if you know where to look. I really can't tell if it's any good or not, because I lose my poo poo every time Londo starts singing.

CommunistMojo posted:I couldn't tell it was Jurasik at first Andre Katsulas sounds exactaly like G'kar singing which is amazing. In "Tell me How" (which is everybody) it's Londo. In "When You Were By My Side" (which is just Peter Jurasik) you could only hear Londo poke through a few times. And Bill Mumy doesn't sound anything like Lenir, maybe because when he's singing he's putting a ton of power into it, and as Lenir he always spoke softly. E: Actually came here to post this link: http://www.youtube.com/user/msanniemc#p/u Somebody was nice enough to put the whole thing on Youtube.

I never got the hate for TKO, because I always liked that episode. Then I read the description, discovered that I was confusing TKO with Gropos. I don't even remember TKO, which is probably for the best.

ThaGhettoJew posted:It doesn't actually exist in HD. It was only filmed for regular TV resolutions originally and due to losing some of the original computer models the special effects couldn't even be cleaned up without having to redo them from scratch. Unfortunately the amount of money and energy it would take to rehab the show to a noticeably higher quality far outstrips the likely market for it. Based on sales of the Lost Tales DVD, that's probably not true, but Warner hates JMS and refuses to give him any money ever.
