Release date for Crusade on DVD?

[Anders]

I have read in this forum previously that JMS told the truth about what happened to Crusade in his commentaries for the Crusade DVD set. After some difficulties concerning that, it was still my understanding that a release would come quite soon. Does anyone now know of a release date for the DVD set, or any other news concerning the Crusade DVD set?

[Joseph DeMartino]

No, Warner Bros. has not announced a release date or even officially announced that Crusade is coming. (Although we know from JMS that the commentaries have been finished - his on "Racing the Night", Carrie Dobro, Peter Woodward and I think one or two other cast members on one of the other episodes.)

Assuming they want to release the set in time for the holidays, I'd expect an announcement next month or very early in October for a November or December release.

That's just my speculation, but given that the extras are finsihed and that this is the last of the B5 universe sets, there's no reason for WB not to go for a holiday season release

Regards,

Joe

I have never seen CRUSADES. But I believe that eventually it will come out on DVD and soon. I think WB is gauging responses and probably have their people monitor the forums to see how fans feel. They are also watching the sales of B5 dvd box sets. Now with the movie collection out and people clamoring for it they are monitoring the situation closely.

Btw, JEREMIAH is out and they are watching the sales of that too.

huh, if you live in the UK, you got no chance of getting Crusade on DVD?

the Yanks will get it (because JMS says so, and as we all know, JMS has so much say over the DVD's retail side of WB that he can say such things! but with EU stuff, he has no control or say...according to our US fans, only USA DVD's does he know about, )

O and TMOS...donÆt expect to even get that in the EU, ill tell what u can do to see it when it comes out in the US, The USA fans will either tell you to go get a sat dish that can pick up signals from the states, or Download it from the net and then they will tell me stop moaning and complaing because their are ways and only because I may have to break the law to do I should not moan because I should be thankful im getting it!

I think you misunderstand something: JMS does not say these things because he "has so much say over the DVD's retail side..." but because he's informed about it.

I think.

I think we will.
Hmm or maybe not. B5 is not as well known as that other show, and it took a letter writing campaign to get one or two of those movies shown in Sweden.

I think I rest my case for that one. Time will tell...

Just where are you getting your information? Are you telling us now that JMS is in charge of the WB DVD marketing department? People have tried to tell you this nicely but it just seems to not sink in so, for the record, and from a fellow Brit....JMS HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANYTHING WARNER BROTHERS SAYS OR DOES WITH B5. THEY OWN IT, THEY PAID FOR IT, THEY PRODUCE THE DVDs THAT THEY CAN DECIDE TO RELEASE WHEN THEY WANT. And just to prove how very little sway JMS has over WB, When they had decided that B5 was to end, it ended. That would have been at the end of season four if TNT hadn't ordered a fifth. AND NOTHING, AND I DO MEAN NOTHING JMS would/could have said would have made a slightest bit of difference. I mean, do you think he wanted it to end a year early. I very much doubt it. But could he bring it back? No, of course not. Simply because it was out of his hands - just as the production and release of the R2 DVDs is.

As a fellow UK resident and Midlander, I hope you take this in the friendly way in which it is intended, but you really do need to take a pace backwards and calm down as you get really hard to follow when you are upset. How can your questions and concerns be addressed if it is difficult to follow your posts?

Stay calm, it will all come out over here in the end - if you really don't wanto chip your machines that is.

LightStorm i was makeing a very scarstic point, the fact that there is a topic about the crusade DVD and there is even talk about it, is an Insalt, when we have not even got a proper DVD movie box set nor have we even got Season 5 yet and the idea that Crusdae will becomeing out before 2037! is a joke (p.s that is also being scartistic)

Lightstorm as a fellow UK fan and someone from the midlands, you must at least understand my anger about this right? I fell in love with a show, only to have it ripped out of my heart, stamped on and treated like rubbish by WB and i am told that no-one can do anything about it, that I should get a R1 player (but the Yanks dont see this is a prinpable thing) or shut up and like it, I just think its disgraceful that compared to other Sc-fi/cult shows such a Buffy, trek, stargate, we have been treated very poorly and i am bit insalted and find this whole USA fans who tell me to stop complaing and moaning about it that i should shut up and like it, but if they was here in the EU, they would just be as angry as i am, but this world is far to much about one's self and no-one else, we EU fans are in need of some backup and it would nice if fellow fans would to support us, if the fans of the show dont support us, JMS wont and nither will WB!

haha again Crusade comeing to Uk, still makes me laugth!!

but who cares about us EU fans right?

[Andrew_Swallow]

Crusade will go to DVD in the UK. The films and Season 5 are just coming out first.

Of course I understand. I well remember waiting for the 1st season VHS releases to come out, way back when B5 was still under the WB 'BEYOND VISION' label. I visited my local WHSmiths so often and regularly that in the end the staff used offer me coffee and biscuits. It was rediculous. Do you think it DOESN'T bug me that I have to buy from the US? It does. But the sad fact is that it is the least painful way of correcting this problem. I look at it as if it were compensation that our machines can handle US disks - some MIGHT say that that versatility makes our machines actually better! Ours CAN, theirs can't.....think about it.

Which, let everyone remember, was years before the U.S. got a home video release of B5, which ended up being cancelled with fewer than half of the episodes issued (none from the third season.) So much for the evil demons of Warner Bros. "preferring" the U.S. and depriving the U.K. or the E.U.

OOh, I'm sorry. I violated internet etiquette by mentioning a fact. Please disregard. My humble apololgies .

Tsk, tsk...Joe, you should be ashamed of yourself! Letting facts sneak in. What's next, common sense??

Sheesh....

I can't say we've "ALL" been waiting for "Legend of the Rangers", in fact I can wait for that one.

I'm dying for CRUSADE, every last millisecond of it! Sure I have it on tape and I've watched it many times. But I want to do my insignificant little bit to show WB that it is appreciated! I also want to see any commentaries that may come with it.

And if the Great Maker is permitted to give it another try some time I would be most pleased to see a rebirth of this wonderful program.
