They didn't render it at this high a quality. I believe the YT channel is getting a hold of the original Lightwave project files, and rendering them at max 1080p it can output, and in widescreen format.
If they did rendering it in 1080p back in the day, it will still scanned down when transferring to the film for the show, and now upscaled back to 1080p for the BluRays after the fact.

People's reaction when I try to show off my B5 card game collection:


Episode "The Paragon of Animals" s5e03
My only time in the Houston area, and visiting friends staying in Katy TX, and I learned how quickly I hated the traffic there. This makes sense

MRW heart burn in TWO hearts

MRW someone says they hated the new Babylon 5 movie


Will do my best to post to both communities
Get a documentary style narrator voice(AI) over with these as sides and show pans, and it would be great
Still crossing fingers for a RIF clone
And knowing how proud Koenig is of this performance, makes it better. We liked him as Chekhov, but this was the role (and Moontrap) that showed to me at least his real acting chops
