Why should I get it? Because I don't really care about B5, in fact I've seen at most 15 episodes, you should give it to me just to spite everyone else. What kind of Sith Lord wouldn't do such a thing before taking the time for a long evil laugh?

I repeat. GIVE IT TO BRIAN YOUNG. :D That means more quality analysis on Babtech, with which to aggravate Rabid Fivers with.

And who doesnt want to aggravate Rabid Fivers? :D

In my opinion, I like Thirdfain's answer the best. It involves females.

Well for starters, I havent posted for a while (mostly because I've been busy failing my classes) and I once tried to tape all the episodes dealing with the shadow war. This worked only as long as I had available tapes, which was about 12 episodes. The little experiment in making my own B5 collection ended when i accidentally taped over the last battle of the last battle of the shadow war (I by my own stupidity taped an episode of the Family Guy.) While this was an ecceptional episode I missed the best B5 episode by far. You see I was very upset because I never saw this episode or the series finale when TNT was airing them (Due to a shibby job that I quit soon after)So I had to wait till Sci-Fi reaired the episode the next year. But I did get to see the last episode, which was way better than the finale for TNG. So thats my B5 shpeel, and I know its no better than the others but I had to put my two cents in.

Note: it's NTSC, not PAL, so you Europeans are out of luck unless you can somehow play NTSC DVD's on your machines.
All european DVD players worth shit can play any region any format.

That region code stuff only hurts the yank *figures*

BTW
Don't send me the DVD ;) I already have it on order.

Just 3 more weeks to go... drool :D

Well I'd like it, but I can't afford it, but I don't really see any compelling reason for me to deserve it for free.

a few things:

1) Mike's proctologist called. everyone can pick up their noses at his office on monday. :P

2) I say give it to Ando, cuz his argument seems best....well entertaining. Hey Ando, do you live in the crotch area or up by the waistband?

3) Garden Gnome should re evaluate his sexual orientation. :P

Damn tough choicesAnd no, not for me...I have it.

Let's se Ando makes a very convincing Thong/G-string...whatever compelling argument.

While Connor does tell us he is able through other means of giving us more aggravation against rabid fivers.

Damn goona have to flip a coin for this one.....Though Ando Thong thingie seems to be somehow more eyecandy appealing.

The only argument that I can think of is that I live in Ottawa and thus will save you ALMOST 15 CENTS in postage if you send them to me!

There is no logical reason why I deserve the boxed set. My knowledge of B5 is lacking. My general thoughts on the show are 'worth it if you can catch it'.

However, Tevar is a fan. And, much like Thirdfain, I give the rundown:

1) Definately, definately female.
2) Very attractive.
3) Likes B5.

Now, I introduce the fourth point, which ought to clinch it.

4) She's on this board.

I do believe that sums it up sufficiently. Have a nice day.

Ah-hem! :twisted:
Frankly, I think Brian should get it :)
Yeah.

Whoever wins, that's generous Mike. I don't know that I would do that :)

Very true, IB, but you're not using the DVDs to curry favor withanother cute girl.

Now, if you were to do that... ;)

Nah. I'm teasing. I bet it'll be tough to decide who gets the set.

I deserve it for the following reasons:

-I basically know shit about B-5, so I need to be recruited into the circle of the B-5ers
-I always keep low profile
-I've got a bad mark this year and I blame it on the board. Ok it's only one mark but it really hurt me.
-sending it to me will cost more than US or Canada shipping, so it'll help you getting rid of all that useless ugly money
-beause of my devotion to this board (as mod) I spend an assload of money every month because I'm a poor modem user
-oh and because of the girls.

I first heard about Babylon 5 in a small article written in the year of our Lord 1996. The subject of the article read: "No return tickets to Star Trek are sold on Babylon 5." Back then in my early teens I had no idea how this could be possible - after all I had grown up following the adventures of Picard & co. However, one year later everything changed when our Channel two started to air Babylon 5.

For the next few years I was glued to my television set, watching this series of unparalled excellence. If TNG was the series of my childhood, Babylon 5 was the one of my teen years. Since the series finale was shown couple years ago, I have seen very little of Babylon 5.

Next July I will begin my mandatory military service and won't returning back to civilian life for some time, but before that I would like to be reunited with my old friends again...

I've watched B5 alot and I like free stuff. I have idea: write all our names on paper and fold them up into little papers. Then buy a magican's hat and insert the paper. Then pick a piece of paper and you have your wiiner.
