@paulk@writing.exchange I can only recommend the show! But it is likely, that Youtube has the SD version. I would always recommend to spend a few bucks to get the HD remaster. The CGI is still not beautiful, but it becomes something you can get used to. 😀 And yes, I am one of these true fans with the bluray box. 😉

@paulk@writing.exchange Hardly refer to myself as a fan but I do love the show*. Yes I have the DVD and Bluray sets. While the remastered episodes are good quality and you get the CGI in original format, it misses something; maybe if they'd letterboxed rather than stretched the CGI on the original ratio version. Now I know: https://www.engadget.com/2018-06-22-babylon-5-digital-video-quality.html I doubt YT is the remastered version though. Maybe inspire people to buy the media. *Other than the bloody Lost Tales and i'm lukewarm on The Road Home, even in glorious 4K. An updated version based on JMS's original plans might be in order; the fill in voice actors proved it could work. Yes I prefer the rebooted BSG & V over the originals.

@paulk@writing.exchange Except that watching YouTube gives fascists ad revenue to fund the coup.
