updated look at the artwork for the "Babylon 5" Season 1 release
[quote]Warner's PR have released this updated look at the artwork for the "Babylon 5" Season 1 release. Note that the exploded packshot looks like a mock up to me but I guess it gives us an idea of what it's going to look like.

The clear plastic DVD-holder is nothing new. You see it a lot with multi-disc sets. The Transformers season 1 DVD set has them.
[quote]what on earth could be censored from the show? it wasnt on hbo or anything[/quote]
TV Censorship in the UK is a bit more strict than here in the US. Parts of the episode "TKO" were censored because it featured "bare fisted fighting".

If it's shown past the watershed (9pm) then you'll probably get the most untouched version you'll likely to get here.
But unfortunately most of our popular sci-fi series seems to be shown between 6pm and 9pm and are therefore subject to the butchers block.
Any time a knife is used to stab someone you'll find it gets cut out of the show. (no pun intended)
It wouldn't be so bad but I think they use some really dumb ass trainee to edit the shows as there are some truly awful and obvious cuts.
If you've ever seen something like Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the UK then you'll know just what I mean as we never see any blades, knifes or even stakes actually penetrating the enemy’s skin.
One cut was so bad I actually lost track of what was happening in the episode.
Censorship is all fine and dandy but when it interferes with the narrative you have to ask if you’re scheduling the show in the correct time slot.
Basically, Sci-fi is not respected enough over here.

All fine and dandy? You Brits must be brainwashed... I hate censorship in any form. In the case of children, parents should be keeping track of what their children watch. In the case of adults, they can use their own judgement to decide whether they should watch something or not.
Try to censor TV or radio up here in Canada and you are greeted with an uproar. Only restrictions here (except for laws againt hardcore pornography before a certain time (11:00pm I think) or on scrambled channels). I take pride in the fact that I can turn on a Canadian radio station and hear any words that the song calls for, or see un-edited versions of movies on my television.

Censorship is a good thing in certain circumstances. Anything of a racist or right-wing nature SHOULD be censored immediately, I mean, if a film was released promoting racist activity do you really think that should be allowed to be shown on TV?

Don’t get me wrong, I [i]really[/i] hate censorship on our T.V.’s here in the U.K.
From my point of view, why bother showing a film or show if it’s not going to be shown in it’s entirety as intended.
We get far too many films with the words “edited for T.V.” underneath their description in our T.V. mags.
Before the watershed [i]should[/i] be safe viewing for children but for goodness sake after that just leave the progs well alone.
There’s this whole mentality of “mothering” from our T.V. stations and government.
When will they realize that we’re all adults and have this amazing gift to be able to choose what we find acceptable for ourselves and if we’re offended by something we have the ability to simply press a button to change channel?
There [i]is[/i] a definite need for censorship, but it should be solely for the well being of children and not to enforce others opinions on the general public.

Which begs the question, "What's on the Sci-Fi channels between 11pm and 5am?"

If I made a film around the subject of immigration and it basically promoted harassing immigrant families so they leave “our country”, then that should be allowed to air?
Anything promoting these filthy racist values or far-right beliefs should be immediate denied to be shown or broadcasted.

Passive fields. January two thousand and twelve. A nation that stands alone. Cold voices, faces pale, Gathered unto their judgement day. Such words remain unspoken. Such pride remains unbroken. Just mothers to stand in vain and cry. Tears and medals in the rain. Shall I recall when justice did prevail? No reason to be found why reason did fail. The all clear resounding. The way was clear to rebuild this land. Shall I call on you to guide me well, To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled? On this day of our ascension.
