Season 4 DVDs

[Anders]

Where can you find that trailer?

[Ranger1]

The trailer in S1 is not availble in the Region 2 format box

[Hazard]

On a region 1 disc: Insert disc 6 and go to special features. Go to The universe of Babylon 5, then go to Data Files. Scroll down the categories on the right side pressing the right arrow button on your DVD remote, until the little "5" is highlighted. Then press enter.

Its just a Trailer for the series that aired sometime after The Gathering and when the series started.

Thank you, I have zone 2 of that season though, so it won't do me much good.

Right. The region 2 set did not include any of the episode promos, which were produced by and for the PTEN consortium in the States and were never aired in overseas markets. Since the S1 "Easter egg" was merely the PTEN promo for the whole season, it was also left out.

Because of feedback from the fans the episode promos were included in all regions starting with S2, and naturally all sets got the same Easter eggs.

Region codes in DVDs are the most retarded thing in the entire world IMO. :/

Even without region codes North America and most of the rest of the world would still get slightly different editions because of the PAL/NTSC problem. In fact, the only DVD edition of S1 to have the episode and season promos is the NTSC North American one. Even if the world were one region, Anders still wouldn't have the S1 Easter egg.

I buy most of my DVD's from the USA, so playing Zone 1 DVD's is not a problem for me.

Ok got my S4 today (wheepee) already saw disk 1 and 2,and im forcing myself not to watch disk 3 until tomorrow (i dont want it to be over )
so far so good....but: does anyone using a surround system with this dvd? if so in Into The Fire,do you hear the dialog like i duno...strange,the music,effects and all is ok,but the dialog seems like its mono or something,or its just me as usual?

Hey Kevin

what scenes were you refering to i did not see which they were

So how many of you got scratched DVD's again? This makes it the 4/4 for me. All seasons have come scratched. I took Season 2 back, but the others were just like 1 or 2 discs.

It sucked because the first ep to skip in S2 for me was The Geometry of Shadows. RIGHT when Elric was about to give his speech to Londo. I already knew what he said from reading Summoning Light, but still...

Then the disc containing War Without End, part 2 screwed up on me, too. Is there a mass complaint about this to WB Home Video?

Check earlier posts,we already discussed it in detail,but i have to say that you are the only person that i know of that had 4 out of 4 bad sets.

Well, then I guess I live up to my claim of having "the worst luck in the world."

Season 1 I don't think was too bad, but I don't watch it often, so I don't remember, really. Plus, my son got to them and REALLY scratched those up. But yes, all four were at least scratched in a small way, some terribly.

The actor commentary, I thought, got worse as the seasons progressed, because Doyle, in particular, had already said everything he had to say after season one (I loved the bit about the human actors smelling the eggs and bacon and the alien actors just smelling latex and glue - just a really fun discussion about what a difference an acting call can make). By Season 4 the mainstays were just stepping on Jurasik with inanities because they thought they had to say something. I always thought Boxleitner was the only one who saw the commentaries as a duty to the fans - he tried to say something relevant in every commentary.

The JMS stuff is best as an insight not only into the mind of the Great Creator but also into the mind of writers in general, who have to reconcile themselves to the differences between what they envisioned and what gets produced. I especially enjoyed his "big picture" intros to each season.
