Disks 1, 4, & 6 have the goodies. With 6 being the keeper. I havn't looked at 1 & 4 yet. But from what I have seen of disk 6 fills me with a warm feeling all over.....er sorry. Theirs a Series Introduction and 2 commentaries on key episodes by J. M. Straczynski. I havn't seen them yet. And i'm not going to tell you the episodes either.
Like I said, disk 6 has the bonus materials (which is where i headed first
) It has The Making of B5 Vintage Documentary, Back to B5 New Documentary, The Universe of B5, and a Virtual Station Tour (under Universe of B5). The first two i'm not going to tell you about. But I did go over the Universe of B5. Its nice, theirs some "new" info, but most is stuff taken from the shows. The Universe of B5 has 4 Groups:
1) Data Files - info about orgnizations,events, and a importan battle, and the Shadow (more on them in a bit).
2)Station Tour - info about parts of the station (duh)
3)Personnel Files - Info about the main people both station personal and Diplomats. Dose include Kosh's Last name (which i did not know he had one).
4)Tech Files - Info on ships; EA, Aliens Raiders, Jump Gates, and starfurys.
All of the Universe of B5 files are about 1 minute long and very general. They show both live footage and Computer Graphics. The live stuff looked abit fuzzy and grainy but thats to be expected. Note that it does look better than the first B5 DVD that came out. The Computer stuff looked sharp. (I'm on a LCD screen for my PC so that adds to some bluring). Their are also some small bug if its played on a PC.
Now, I did find something very intresting about the shadows which has to relate to the topic that we had 2 weeks ago. You remember the one? Its the lovely topic of weither or not the shadow can cloak or not. Well, the info about the shadows didn't go into great amount of detail (showed them kicking butt alot though
) but she (the speaker) said that the "shadows have stealth techology to hide them till they attack". As she was saying this we are shown various shadow battle crabs "uncloaking" and shooting. Does this prove that they can cloak? I don't know, but its another log on the fire. (Did i mention they where kicking butt?)
Well thats the short Version of it. I didn't want to give all of the stuff away. If you want to know more let me know.
