JMS AT RASTB5M:
APR.23.2003
Season 2 hits the stores on this coming Tuesday, and we're almost
finished with the S3 dvds. We're also in discussions about releasing Crusade.
MAR.31.2003
Just finished the commentaries and interviews for the B5 Year 3 DVD
set, and I think it's a bit better than the year 2 commentary I did, which I think kinda
sucked.
DEC.8.2002
There's talk about a special musical sequence for the season 3 DVD,
with Chris re-scoring 2-3 episodes end to end with non-stop music, future segments on "The
Future According to Babylon 5" with NASA and JPL guys. I'd like to see the final bonus
section on year 5 be about the fans of the show.
Point being...they're putting a LOT of energy and work into this to make each set better than
the one before.
