I am quite sad to hear this news. Only a week ago I was bingeing on all the old DVDs for Babylon 5. Upscaling on my Sony 4k TV was spot on for all but the CGI generated content which looked as if they were 640x480. Netherlees I enjoyed rewatching it all. RIP, Delenn. I had a huge crush on Ivanova.

The CGI was ruined by publishing in widescreen format. The live shots were filmed wide screen, but the CGI was not, so they chopped off the top and bottom of the screen and called it a day.

  Some of the CGI looked like they'd done it on the cheap. I don't see the sense in having ships moving around B5, it's a waste of mass, far better to have them in a parking orbit, especially if B5 is at a Lagrange spot. Maybe they should redo the CGI if they ever decide to re-release on 4k Blu-ray.

    According to JMS, Warner-Brothers, which owns the rights, has absolutely zero interest in remastering B5. Which really sucks.

      It has been remastered and is now available on HBO Max and for purchase online. This dropped last week with almost no warning.
