Ok, B5 Lost Tales should be out and about by now.

It hasnt been released over here in Australia so i'm interested to hear from anyone who has bought the DVD. Is it any good?

Just watched it yesterday. It's not actually a movie, it's two 30-minute episodes. Not bad stories, preferred the second one myself, but giving it a few days before I decide how much I liked it. The trailer was perhaps a bit misleading. Fair number of extras; invterview with Joe and Bruce, interview with Tracy Scoggins, interview with Joe and Peter Woodward, memorials for Richard Biggs and Andreas Katsulas, Joe answers some questions posed by fans, and more stuff that I haven't looked at.

I was under the impression that it was a 90 minute straight to DVD movie. Could have sworn I saw it written up that way on Amazon.

So, I guess the question is - was it worth your cashy money? I'm a bit of a tight arse myself so I guess I'm gonna need some opinions before I shell out for it.

I for one enjoyed it and was glad for the new glimpse into the old neighborhood. The two stories mesh together but are definately seperated. Being a straight to DVD it was kinda bared down, but it didn't cost a lot and If we buy more maybe we can get JMS a bigger budget for the next time.

That's the way most of JMS's B5 "movies" have been. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not so much. But, in the end, it is B5 and you can never have enough B5. I'm also curious about the Crusaders (I think that was the series title). What do you guys think of that box set? Worth the cashy money?

It was called Crusade and no, its not worth the cashy money. Its one of the most reviled sf series ever. IMO it dragged B5's name through the mud.
On a lighter note, I'm really thrilled about the Lost Tales. Will definitely be watching it. I loved B5.
Maybe if this is succesful someone will experiment with doing some Firefly epsiodes direct to DVD.
