The show cannot be remastered in high definition or released on Blu-ray because of the CGI. Remember that Babylon 5 was one of the first shows to use CGI and it was created for the standard-definition televisions of the 1990s. At an average of 6,000 frames per episode, re-creating it from scratch is prohibitively expensive.Examine Details That Could Never Really Be Seen On ScreenStudy the nuances of the Starfury flight suits, the control consoles on the White Star, the faces of the Telepath embryos in the Vorlon genetic engineering tanks, the progress mural in the casino, the "flags" of the League races in the Council Chamber, the stanchions supporting the underground tunnels on Mars and the etchings on Galen's staff...every page delivers a moment of wonder.What Really Went On Behind The ScenesFrom seeing aliens on a break to a look inside the prop and costume closets, from lunchtime on the set to a backstage pass for the last day of shooting, and intimate glimpses of J. Michael Straczynski directing "Sleeping in Light," this section turns the cameras around and shows the cast and crew in unguarded moments.Discover why Babylon 5 will never be available on Blu-ray at B5news.com.
