I watched one of the lost tales last night. It was a little odd, only three people in it, Lochley the only B5 regular.

It didn't really feel like Babylon5, but from a pure sci-fi point of view it was pretty interesting.

Amazon UK has got it up for pre-order!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Babylon-5-Tales-Bruce-Boxleitne...id=1186161669&sr=1-2

I reckon I'll probably buy it; I've got all the series box sets and a couple of the movies.

Play has it a little cheaper, and free delivery: http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/3350019/Babylon-5-Lost-Tales/Product.html

Seems they're also releasing the soundtrack: http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/3385722/Babylon-5-The-L...ndtrack/Product.html

Amazon UK has dropped the price of TLT to £8.48

I had to contact them to adjust my pre-order though because it still had the higher price.

Anyone that has already ordered it from Amazon, you might want to check your order.

I've seen it!

I cried, I laughed, I cried again.

I'll post more when I've seen it again, but it was good to have some B5 to watch after all these years.

Thanks for the heads-up about the price drop, Elenopa. I've cancelled my order and promptly re-ordered the one with the free art cards!

Has anyone else been told that their delivery of TLT will be delayed?!!! I am NOT happy!

I think we cleared out their stocks as for a little while the other day it was unavailable.

Take this as a good sign that sales have exceeded WB's expectations.

mine was delayed from Amazon UK too but it's on the way...then I'll have 2 copies

It's good it's selling so well hopefully we'll see more

MINE'S HERE

Yep, mine arrived only a day or so late. Lovely to see the old universe again, though there were a few nitpickable points and I'd need to watch a second time to make sure they weren't covered somewhere that I missed.

My only real problem was trying to get back into that universe again when the station looked quite different from how it used to in the series. I didn't like the better graphics, and particularly disapproved of Lochley's room with the huge window! Even Sheridan never got a room like that!

Nice to have the mentions of G'Kar and Franklin and to know that they're both still out there somewhere, hopefully enjoying themselves and finding wonderful things.

It must have been quite hard for the actors - if the Extras are anything to go by, they did most of their work in front of a massive greenscreen. It must be quite difficult to keep concentrating when you've got nothing particular to focus on.

I've just been reading through the earlier sections of this thread. Crikey - long ago days!

Well, yesterday I met Captain Sheridan.

Cool! How was Captain Labrador Puppy?

He was looking good. I didn't spend very long with him as there was a very long queue behind me.

He was supposed to be signing on the Friday, but his flight was delayed. I turned up on the Saturday at 9am and heard that his flight was delayed yet again and he wasn't expected until 3pm. Got a ticket number so I would be near the front of the queue and waited. He arrived at something past 3pm, having had a very quick stop at the hotel.

Thanks. That silver hair rather suits him.

I was watching some old episodes of Scarecrow And Mrs King last week. He really has aged very well.

They had pictures from Tron there, and boy does he look young in them.

He does, doesn't he. I think that one was 1982, though, and we all looked a lot younger then.

sheridan+ 'heroes'

Best known for Scarecrow And Mrs King?! Huh?! Now I loved that series at the time, but an eighties detective show is what he's best known for?! I don't think so - and certainly not to the sort of people who watch Heroes. Sci-fi/fantasy fans, for instance, who will almost certainly know of B5 and/or Tron.

Good to see him get another cult TV role. I won't be seeing him in it, though, as I think Heroes is rubbish...

didn't know JMS wrote new eastwood/jolie movie?

I was watching some old episodes of "Days Of Our Lives" over the weekend (late 1992/early 1993), and who should wander on screen but Rick Biggs. It was really nice to see him again.

Not that I'm trying to make you jelous or anything but....



In the last 24 hours, I have been swapping emails with JMS.

Cool. He after one of your Tom Baker scarves?!
