Speaking of Dr. Who and SciFi I started playing the Bab5 DVDs on the big
screen TV instead of the computer monitor and it seems they converted a 4x3
aspect ration to 16x9. The image gets incredibly grainy at times. Also,
it's painfully obvious how much special effects have improved in 20 years.
The FX really suffer because they are blown up to the wider aspect ratio.
However, if they didn't do it during production of the DVDs, I probably
would have done it with the remote's zoom button. I hate watching 4x3
programs on the wide screen TV.

The really sad part is that JMS and Netter did all the SFX in the
bigger aspect ratio and then WB either lost the files or recorded over
them, depending on who you talked to.


How did you get a cynical to survive in captivity? I heard they're hard as
hell to keep alive. (-:

And you call yourself a journalist. Cynicism is a job requirement
(grin).
