I think that I got it for 74.95US becaue I preordered--have to verify. It was
more for convenience than saving money. "Oh look, B5 in my mailbox! Sweet!"

Totally agreed. I taped B5 when it originally aired on TV and still have all
the VHS from season 1 thru 5. My thing is I wish egos didnt' get involved and
that Claudia wouldve been back for season 5. That, for me, is the only problem
with the series as a whole. Susan Ivanova... wow! Tracey Scoggins was great,
mind you, but I just missed Claudia.

He mentioned that in the voice over... As well, Lurkers Guide, I think, has
that info. I was a definite lurker on that site every week when the show was
on. So much great info!
The whole series (and TNT movies) were awesome. looking at it now, it's still
great!
I just wished that Excalibur 'went the distance', but alas...
