For showing Babylon 5 to friends or just watching it, it would sometimes be a
pain to change tapes every 2 episodes, so I did some editing and found that I
could fit a season on two T-160 cassettes (in the EP mode) if I only had one
open/close credit per tape and cut all commercials.

What I discovered is this, Babylon 5 really is incredible when viewed this
way, it's like a 7h 35m movie!   

Anyway just thought I'd share this in light of the recent showing of season 4
with no breaks/interruptions on German sat tv.

Exactly.  That was the challenge, to make it work on an episodic basis, but
then run together.  

This particularly works in S5 starting from about "Meditations" right through
"Sleeping in Light."  Just play it straight through, and it's one long episode.
