It seems that the first two DVD releases were originally issued as a sort of test program to see what sort of interst there was in the B5 universe. It did so well that Warner Brothers has decided to issue this special boxed set of the TV Movies. The "Rangers" movie is not included but will probably be released on it's own at some point in the future.

This five DVD set will include (preliminary listing): The Gathering (1993): Alien envoys come to the giant space station in the pilot that launched the five-year TV series. In the Beginning (1998): The B5 prequel! It's humans vs. aliens in the battle that led to the station's creation. Thirdspace (1998): Is there a realm beyond hyperspace? Discovery of a million-years-old gateway technology may hold the answer...and more. River of Souls (1998): After death, then what? Questions of eternity arise when a supposedly infallible harvester of souls proves to be very fallible. A Call to Arms (1999): The torch is passed. A race against time to save Earth links the B5 mission with the Rangers' new interstellar efforts. Commentary from series creator, J. Michael Straczynski, and cast and crew for all five movies Introduction by J.

RELATED PRODUCTS: There is the dual movie release of The Gathering / In the Beginning which includes a very bare bones DVD edition of the first two Babylon 5 TV movies. There is also a novel and CD Soundtrack available for "ItB" as well. JMS AT RASTB5M: NOV.30.2003 Oh, yeah...and next year you can expect two new DVD sets that a) include all of the TV movies in one package (with commentaries from me on "The Gathering" and "In the Beginning") and b) package all 13 of the Crusade episodes into one box.
