New B5: The Lost Tales Video
bruckner
The Lost Tales. A couple we've seen already, but there are a couple
new ones. I especially love the clip from Bruce Boxleitner. Nice
jacket!
Pop over to http://www.isnnews.net and see the videos.
Enjoy,

Coulda missed it, but I saw stuff about the original series - and a

Maybe, while they're there, they can fix the Beings - Supporting Cast
bits for "Shai Alit Neroon" (Tannier/Brendan Ford from "Learning Curve"
pictured) and William Morgan Clark (Sheridan's first interrogator/Raye
Birk from "Intersections in Real Time" pictured).

Meh, I hit CTRL-R - none of those crazy function keys or mouse clicks
for me! I think CTRL-R was reload in Mosaic - old habits die hard. :-)
Even when I'm using Firefox for GUI browsing, I mostly use the keyboard

Having not had time to look at any of these yet, I can't be _sure_, but...I
thought they were talking about a link from the main WB site for B5, not from
the ISN site. But in any case, the good news is that the main WB site
(www.babylon5.com) finally seems to have changed to reflect the new series
material, huzzah!

Sorry, I wasn't clear. JMS had said that the trailer was coming to the
www.babylon5.com site and we'd all been refreshing on that site waiting for
changes. Then last night there were changes but still no sign of the trailer
but there *is* a link to a video that's the opening to the main titles and a
tribute to the B5 actors and Andreas in particular.
Here's a link directly to the video:

If you're talking about that video called "temp video," I wonder if there's
something wrong with it. I've tried to view it twice, and it seems to just
stop _dead_ at the image of G'Kar. The music just cuts out, and the video
freezes. I hope they're going to load the finished version at some point.

That's probably why it's called a temp file. JMS did show more at
NYCC but iirc, it was a version without the full CGI.

Yes, indeed. The site is really awful. I hope someone's going to do

Flash only sites suck royally. Flash animations as enhanced
navigation/function fine, but to have it all flash is annoying. Not from a
speed pov but from a surfer pov.

I just went back there this afternoon and discovered that the 'temp file' has
now been replaced by the trailer. I didn't have a chance to check, but I wonder
if the bit of the opening sequence that we got was the same length as the
trailer. That would explain it cutting off so suddenly.
