   Me too. In reviews and customer comments on Amazon and such places, it seems   
   it suffered MASSIVELY from too many high expectations. Knowing the budget   
   constraints, I never hoped for something as mind blowing as JMS's   
   masterpiece in its peak, and ultimately I wasn't in the slightest   
   disappointed. That was the trick to enjoying LT.   
      
   I just hope this isn't the last we see of the series. It is encouraging   
   that, despite varying reviews, it sold VERY WELL. JMS has already promised   
   not to direct any future project, leaving that side of things to those   
   better able. So in light of that revelation, and the aforementioned strong   
   sales, LT could prove to be a mere appetizer for things to come.   
      
   The straight to DVD medium does not have to mean low quality in this day and   
   age. B5 has earned nigh on half a billion dollars in worldwide, cumulative   
   VHS/DVD sales - we fans are going nowhere.......so this all bolds well for   
   B5's life after The Lost Tales. Especially considering the main cast members   
   would sign up in a heartbeat - such is their fondness for the series, the   
   creator, and the fans. In fact, just yesterday I watched the interviews on   
   IGN's review page for the LT DVD (IGN the gaming website), where Bruce and   
   Tracey said they'd be on it in a shot.
