The opening is probably my favorite part of this DVD. Moving, and with fantastic VFX and music.

Re: First time impressions from the Babylon 5 virgin

ok, so this Year countdown from 2285 to current, is not actually in synch with the station blown-up being reversed, right?

Re: First time impressions from the Babylon 5 virgin

Have to agree, HA. Brilliant to have G'Kar do the narration.

Re: First time impressions from the Babylon 5 virgin

Agreed. Wasn't expecting the opening to be as moving as it turned out to be.

Why did JMS keep revising the jumpgate FX I wonder? B5, Call To Arms, Legend of the Rangers, and now this version.

Re: First time impressions from the Babylon 5 virgin

Well, it synchs with the Station coming back together, Mal

I'm actually wondering the same thing. I was happy with the way it was. IMO it didn't need to be changed.

Re: First time impressions from the Babylon 5 virgin

I think it's mainly improvements in tech. And lost effects files that caused the gate changes.

Something about Lochley is off at the beginning here. Scoggins has gotten older, I guess.

I think that's really up to the visual effects house nd they've had four since the pilot B5.

The opeing with Simon clutching his head didn't make it clear that there was time between that and Fr. Cassidy arriving.

I can understand having to re-do them because of lost files, but the look has changed pretty dramatically from what it was back in The Gathering. I just wish there was more consistency, but more Lost Tales, THEN remastering down the road would be my choice.
