   The local Wal-Mart has B5 season sets for $79.96.  Now, I   
   didn't check the prices for Voyager the last time I was   
   there (because I'm completely uninterested in buying season   
   sets of Voyager, a series which BEGS for extreme   
   cherry-picking.), but TNG sets were a few cents over $100,   
   and Voyager Season 1 is probably priced the same.  Let's   
   see, $79.96 for 22 episodes of B5, or $100 for 16 episodes   
   of Voyager Season 1, hmmm....what's wrong with this picture?   
      
   If ever there were a series that should have been released   
   on DVD, one disc at a time (2 episodes per disc), it's   
   Voyager.  To get my six episodes, I'd only have to pay $80,   
   instead of $400.
