I hope the R2 version has the same extras as the R1 version.

I wathced it, finally. have to contradict the creator of this thread a little bit though, there was never a word that Asmodeus was an Ancient, but rather that Lucifer and it´s kind were not cast into hell, but rather down to earth. Now, that does leave open the mytery of wether there were aliens or really a god involved; interesting concept (a little like a Sci-Fi God´s army).
Anyway, episode 1 was basically a 3 person stageplay, B5 did look terribly empty, but overall it was interesting to watch.
Episode 2 showed a different side of Galen (a pretty nasty one), especially since it was left open at the end whether or not all had only been a trick to get Sheridan to take care of the prince or not.
The extras were great, the director´s cut was excentric (in a good way); watching sockpuppet Galen beat the crap out ouf sockpuppet Sheridan made me cry out laughing.
The memorials and the thing about beyond the rim were touching, the later was really well played by Boxleitner and Scoggins.
Oh, and the part about how Quantum space was disorientig as hell and made people sick? Nice detail...
So, am I satisfied? Yes, overall I am. I was expecting more or less two regular episodes, and got two interesting B5 short stories and some cool extras.

I enjoyed the second one - the first one felt like a mid season filler episode and not a great one. It all seemed a bit odd to be honest and not sure it fitted with B5 very well. The lack of response by anyone to a ring of fire round B5 was a bit odd unless screen characters were just hallucinating. No mention by the cast of the Vorlons / Shadows and other First Ones which would have thought would have been obvious culprits for leaving something nasty around unfinished. No telepath (a Minbari one would be useful) to pop in and see if this guy had someone inside his head.
The second episode was very good - nice choices to make, good ideas and interesting new character. I would have prefered that one as the first and something else as the second. Oh and the Centauri have got beams - big nasty ones to blow up cities! Guess they got bored with massdrivers.
so a mixture...........the ships looked great - even if that Sharlin seemd to be massive!
have fun

Ok i just watched the Lost Tales.
I enjoyed it but found it rather flat.
What made these stories so important to JMS?
I can think of hundreds other "lost tales" from B5 that i would have preferred to see instead.
What happens to Bester and Garibaldi,Lita, Ivanova as captain of the Warlock, Lennier????? Sheridan/Delenns son, and were is Vir Cotto? i want to see Vir battle the Drakh on Centauri prime: the list goes on.
PS Sometimes Galen gets on my nerves. :shock:

It´s like JMS said - these are just short stories in the B5 universe, and the writing was really interesting. More style than story, but both leave open a door for things to come. We know that a Garibald story will come (given that there will be me more Lost Tales), and that there is a lot left to be told, even though it´s highly unlikely that even half of those untold stories will ever see the daylight...
