Hello everyone. I would like to know if anyone else noticed that the opening act of episode 1 season 4 seems to be missing. The narration by J'kar recapping the events from season 3s ending is not there,The episode starts with the credits. If they release this on disc I hope someone points this out to the producers before they manufacture them. I hope it's released on blu ray but if there is missing content it may no be worth the price.

I've read that WB has been made aware of the two episodes with missing footage (thankfully, it's only 2 out of 110). I am 100% sure that they will fix that.

I've just got my fingers crossed for a Blu Ray release as I'm not a fan of streaming, and I don't really want to buy digital. I want a physical copy.

(Wait, that's in my signature?? Oh, well, then that's redundant... )

Interesting ad placement right after you mentioned your signature.

Jdander

That's great news. I didn't know there was another episode missing content. I just hope this is released on blu ray. Thanks for the info.

Just checked HBO Max and both B Squared and Hour of the Wolf are fixed!

May have celebrated too early. The B5 title card still appears about 10
minutes into B Squared and after that the AV sync is off.

I really hope they fix everything before the discs are made. I remember TNG having audio problems and Paramount having to replace them.

B5Erik

They'll have them fixed.

Jdander

According to discshop the release date is March 19th.

Jdander

So much for the 19th.

B5Erik

Yeah, that didn't happen.

But I still suspect a Fall release will happen (after the HBO Max thinig has pretty much run it's course). We'll see.

Entering the UPC into Amazon also gives a hit.

I really need to watch this show...

It's no longer on Max, but it's free on the Roku channel and Tubi. And it's the remastered version.

I’ve started the first season a couple times on DVD but bought the digital SD thinking it might be more convenient. Of course I haven’t watched it but just bought the digital HD version to have a better experience when I finally get around to it.

B5Erik

Finally. I'm pre-ordering this as soon as it goes live. I've been waiting a LONG time for this...

Without spoiling it, does the series have a satifying finale?

Josh-da-man

The final episode, yes.

Thanks, I ordered it and will now have to try to figure out how to pay for it.

Bleh, I waited a day too long. Amazon just jacked the pre-order price from $135 to $153. I had meant to put an order in to lock-down the lower price, but didn't figure it would go UP during the first week of ordering.

Ended up placing an order at DeepDiscount for $100. Came to $112 with tax + $5 special handling (I'm guessing the box will be huge). So I've locked in THAT lower price and will monitor Amazon, CD Universe, DVD Empire, Best Buy and the other usual suspects to see if a lower price can be had.

Frankly, I had expected the release price to be right around $99, so I'm okay just leaving the DDD preorder as-is unless something remarkable happens in the next 4-1/2 months.

Is this going to be a limited edition release? The "only available from online retailers" seems kind of strange.

If it is a limited run, I kind of want to avoid it considering Warners' track record with rotting boxed sets. I don't want to buy this and then, a year later, discover that the discs won't load and I can't replace it without paying aftermarket prices on eBay.
