In our previous news items (like
this one) about
Babylon 5 - The Movie Collection, we've mentioned the commentary tracks that were done for all five telefilms included in the set. But we didn't know until now who the participants were.
Now creator J. Michael Straczynski ("JMS") has made
this post, which explains the commentary track situation:
On the movies DVDs, and what's inside: the main thing is that we've got commentaries on literally every one of them. Mike Vejar and I did a commentary on In the Beginning, I did one with John Iacovelli on The Gathering, and another with Janet Greek and Tracy Scoggins on River of Souls. I can't remember now if I solo'd on A Call to Arms or if Mike was there as well (it all blurs after a while...I've done something like fifteen of these things by now).
There's a separate cast commentary on Thirdspace with, I think, Pat, Jeff, Jesus Trevino, and one or two others.
Very good, but let's break JMS's notes down a bit:
Babylon 5: The Gathering (1993)
- I did one with John Iacovelli (Production Design) on The Gathering
Babylon 5: In the Beginning (1998)
- Mike Vejar (Director) and I did a commentary on In the Beginning
Babylon 5: Thirdspace (1998)
- There's a separate cast commentary on Thirdspace with, I think, Pat (Patricia Tallman, "Lyta Alexander"), Jeff (Jeff Conaway, "Zack Allen"), Jesus Trevino (Director), and one or two others.
Babylon 5: The River of Souls (1998)
- (I did) another with Janet Greek (Director) and Tracy Scoggins ("Captain Elizabeth Lochley") on River of Souls
Babylon 5: A Call to Arms (1999)
- I can't remember now if I solo'd on A Call to Arms or if Mike (Vejar, Director) was there as well (it all blurs after a while...I've done something like fifteen of these things by now).
Sounds great! There's info about
Crusade commentaries, too, which we're posting in
a separate news item. Look for it there! Thanks to Alex Fletcher for letting us know about this information.
