Hey, Joe!

I, for one, can't wait for the DVD's to start coming out. But I am sorely
disappointed about what I understand to be the apparent lack of supplemental
material (read "commentary") on them.

Supplementary material is one of the things that really makes DVD's special,
IMHO. And as much as B5 has been about "behind the scenes" (on the Internet)
as well as a darn good story, I think WB would be terribly remiss to issue
B5 DVD's without taking advantage of the opportunity to get some of that
background information down permanently. (Not to mention it'd just be plain
fun to listen to your commentaries.)

Is that the final word, or is it still in negotiation (assuming your
interested in doing commentaries in the first place)?

There doesn't seem to be much interest in doing it, which may stem from the
fact that there are so many episodes that if you do it in 1, how do you justify
not doing it for all 110?  So I'm not holding my breath.
