Trivia:

When Sheridan's ship drops out of quantumspace to pick up Prince Vintari, the nebula visible in the background appears identical to, and is probably intended to be, the Ring Nebula, which is visible from Earth in the constellation Lyra. Technically, the vivid colors, which are taken from widely available images of the nebula, are false-color renderings designed to differentiate the different elements in the nebula, and the nebula is not actually bright blue and orange to the naked eye as it is in this scene.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Colonel Lochley is talking about Simon Burke she says he is a part of security. Later, the computer lists him as being a part of maintenance.

Quotes:

[first lines]
G'Kar: [voiceover] I believe that when we leave a place, part of it goes with us, and part of us remains. Go anywhere in the station when it is quiet and just listen. After a while, you will hear the echoes of all our conversations, every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we have gone, our voices will linger in these walls.
Simon Burke: Get out of my head. No!

I just hope they do better next time

I am a big Babylon 5 fan and was really looking forward to this DVD release. I am sorry to say that I was disappointed, The Legend of the Rangers is no longer the weakest in the series. All things considered I really want this DVD release to do well so they will make more but I feel it will not be winning any new fans and will probably be disappointing a lot of old ones. Visually It was beautiful and the special effects were very well done, but that's just not enough. Both of the stories were on the weak side and some of the acting I'm sorry to say was weak as well. And I really need to ask: with such a big universe and expansive B5 mythology where did these story's come from and why did they have a last minute feel to them? With so much depending on them, I just expected more. Also why split the DVD into two too short stories rather than one long one? What motivation does this DVD give anyone but the most die hard B5 fan to go out and buy the next DVD release.
