Finally! To DVD comes the adventures of Quark and Odo and the tall girl with the spots! Let’s hope we also get commentaries from Ira Behr and D.C. Fontana and Jane Espenson!!
Greetings, Herc, from that big ol' preying mantis of crime, master of the Downbelow domain, N'Grath!
In case you haven't heard, Joe Straczynski has officially confirmed that Warner will be releasing the first full season of BABYLON 5 on DVD this fall, as a boxed set. JMS promises to add commentary to at least two episodes-- probably "Signs and Portents," which introduces Mr. Morden and the Shadows, and "Chrysalis," the first-season cliffhanger. He's also considering adding commentary to the time-travel tripper "Babylon Squared," as well as some sort of video introduction for the set.
Word first leaked out when Warner's closed-captioning person started asking around for original scripts, so as to get the captioning just right. JMS quickly confirmed that this was legit. Sales were apparently good enough on the first DVD, "In the Beginning/The Gathering," that full production could be justified.
After years of waiting and rumors upon rumors, they're finally almost here! Woo hoo!

Woo hoo indeed! Um, was Mr. Morden that crochety Bajoran farmer Brian Keith played? Bring on Leeta and Nog! And the stern Klingon fellow! Can’t wait till they put out the other six seasons!!
