Heya,

Good to hear that B5 is coming to video.  I think I saw in one of your
digests that they're may be a widescreen/letterbox version.  Is this
true?  and if so why would a show designed for television use movie
screen sizes?


Thanks,
Tom

We've tried to stay ahead of the technology curve where possible.  So all of B5
except for the pilot was filmed widescreen, and cropped for regular current TV
aspect ratios.  Why?  We just think like that.
