Back on topic, jeez I hope it is region free as I'm having to import to from Amazon US to Australia. Probably should have done Amazon UK in hindsight as at least that's the same blu-ray region as me.

WB's Blu-rays are all Region Free.

I watched it earlier today. It's okay, but I'm not sure if it's something I'll want to watch twice. The highlight is definitely Boxleitner.

The extra feature is a standard self-congratulatory talking-heads thing. I've not tried the commentary yet.

[Show spoiler]JMS said he has ideas for more, if WB are willing.

It was fine. Some good bits. The irony is, for a show that revelled in long form storytelling, this flits about all over the place by design. I’m well up for more, but something a bit more cohesive.

What I did like though is that it’ll probably work better viewed in chronological order with the show, so at the end of season 5 but before the finale. I’ll be rewatching it then when I work through the complete series Blu.

I felt it would've worked better as a TV series, akin to other WB shows (with episodes about 24 mins each). But I'm also up for more, as I'm a huge fan of B5, in general.

Have to say I didn't like the ending. It felt like a weird reboot and that going forward we should be following the universe it ended up in and not the "original" Sheridan's universe.

It gives them options IMO. They can tell stories in the alternate universe that they simply can't tell in the prime universe. There's only so much they can do in the latter because we already know where most of the pieces/players end up. The former is a clean slate where anything goes. I can't say as I'm overly concerned either way.

The one thing I wasn't overly keen on was the Shadow capital ship redesign, it just looked...wrong.

I assume you mean you have the series on blu-ray pre-ordered? and yes the HD remaster is a very nice upgrade over the DVDs.
