I was just browsing Amazon UK and took a look at the Babylon 5 Lost Tales page (without art cards ) and found the following "reviews" right up to the top. I've knocked them down the page a little with my review but if others could follow suit it certainly couldn't harm the cause. Better some well-rounded comments rather than bogus or inaccurate "reviews".

Disapointing, 5 Sep 2007

I have to agree totally with Mr. G. C. Morgan-Watson's review. These tales should have stayed buried. Nothing was really up to the B5 standard - the dialog was tedious (not to mention obvious), the plots underwhelming and didn't really fit into the rest of the series.
At the end of the second episode, which I assumed was the beginning of the real story, the dvd ended. Both my partner and I turned to each other and said "what?? That's it?".
It seems this was more a cheap money maker with very little to recommend itself. I'm sorry to see my favourite sci fi series end with this

Babylon 5 - Lost tales (2007), 4 Sep 2007
By Mr. G. C. Morgan-Watson (UK) - See all my reviews
It would have been better that they remain un-found. This is a very poor addition, using minimal actors ( we counted about 9 - including the two mbaris that kept walking around in circles and the only alien make-up) and old space ship footage. The stories were un-eventful, the dialogue incredibly long winded. A cheap production - not worthy to be in the Bab-5 collection. Disapointing and not reccomended.
