Subpar mini-movies maybe to paniful to watch, I greatly loved B5 and still think it is the best overall Sci-fi series. But it is to late to revisit it.
Now if they would rethink Firefly...Now that was a show.

Yeah, JMS's religious views always kinda bothered me on B5; he tried too hard, sometimes, I think.

The camera work on the first one leaves one prone to motion sickness just because of the director's choice of filming angles of the characters. It left much to be desired. Lockley is also left in the same uniform from 10 years ago, but she has obviously aged, so it just isn't the same. The subject matter is the least good part of the vignette, with JMS mixing his feelings about religion with humanity/science and not exactly finding a good mix in my opinion.
The second one is much better. The subject matter isn't as divisive and seeing more than one character from the original series is in improvement. Mentioned are Vir, Garibaldi, G'kar, Londo, Delen, and Franklin, but none are shown (guess they didn't have the budget, plus some have passed on).
The CGI is stellar (pun kind of intended!). If they could have had today's computers doing the CG work in the 90's, oh what a difference it would have made (even for as good as it was at the time). The stuff is really believable in this short. The station looks incredible and the ships are true to the originals and much improved for smoothness and detail. Thumbs up here!
I think you will enjoy it for the nostalgia factor, but I can see why it didn't really do all that well. I'll let you share your own opinion when you can see it. Still want to borrow a copy (when I can get it) or are you good?

I haven't seen Lost Tales; if you come across a copy, I'd love to see it.
