The only way to get HD versions of the episodes would be to re-render every single CGI and comp shot, and Warners will never, ever pay to have that done.
I just want to say one word to you, just one word.
Even without fans doing it, JMS really shouldn't say never. It took many years for Star Trek TOS to be released with CGI effects. The same could happen to B5, but it's a lot more likely if JMS made some more series set in that universe.
Actually, this could be a huge opportunity for fans. Not only is it possible today to do virtually perfect motion matching for the space scenes, but applying the techniques of photogrammetry to the CGI space footage could yield great initial data for exact (and perhaps later improved) replicas of the original models, even without access to them. I mean, someone could do it for a thesis. 3D reconstruction is a big thing these days.
An omission that sort of distorts the message: I meant to say "Not only is it possible today to do virtually perfect motion matching for the space scenes with cheap software, on home PCs"
