The Digital Bits today reposted an article by J. Michael Straczynski on rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated containing revealing information about a Babylon 5 Season One boxset, to be released this fall. Longtime DVD fans will note that this marks a milestone as one of the longest-awaited titles for that format finally has some concrete release information. [UPDATE: click here for an alternate link, including the vital information that the release will be widescreen! Woohoo!]
I’m only just getting into the whole Babylon 5 thing; I saw the pilot film when it first aired back in the Spring of 1993 and then absolutely nothing after that, until I was forced to begin watching the Sci-Fi Channel’s most recent full-series runthrough. As anyone familiar with the series can tell you, it’s very compelling stuff: a meticulously planned story arc with convincing, evolving characters, political intrigue, and a fascinating mix of science and mysticism. I’m not sure anymore what I ever saw in Star Trek.
Speaking of Star Trek, there’s a review up on Scifi.com of the first soundtrack album for the series Enterprise. Aaron, please call your office.
