Series 2 DVD confusion

My sister recently got the Series 2 B5 DVD, and the little booklet inside is in French. The episodes are in english so that's not too much of a problem.
But just have a look at the front illustration:



What on earth were they smoking?

An upside down Sharlin in the middle..
To counter the Shadow threat they seem to be launching a wave of Lintira personnel transports..
Two Hyperions and a Nova for some reason..
And the background image? Well it's Mars, obviously.. because Mars plays such a pivotal role in Series 2..
And it's all looked over by seven members of the grey council...

The one over here has that artwork as the booklet cover rather than on the front of the packaging (thank god). But obviously the art team has absolutely NO idea of what they are doing in terms of continuity with the show. Very unfortunate.

Warner know they've screwed up on the language of some of the manuals, get in touch with them and they'll send you out a new copy. I'll try and get the phone number and post it here.

As for they art? Que sera sera. I seem to remember when the videos first came out they had a lot of spelling errors in some of the titles. 'And te sky full of stras' springs to mind.

Also covers consisting of Babylon 5 orbitting a huge distorted G'Kar head. Classic.

Considering they've gone to the effort to release the DVD it makes me wonder why they didn't get someone who knew the programme to at least look at it.
Couldn't they have used some old art, rather than getting someone who's never heard of B5 to do it?

I had the same problem with my R2 (UK) Season 2 DVD set. I've sent mine back to play.com and they promise to send me a replacement, with an English booklet.

Still waiting for it...

Yeah DVD+ obviously spotted the problem before shipping any
copies. I'm still waiting for mine. They said hopefully this week
sometime, fingers crossed.

Hä hä.
I've got mine a week ago and everything (except that cover) is okay.

See ya

Still waiting for Amazon.co.uk to despatch mine - I ordered season two, the Harry Potter first four books and the Legions of Fire: Book III, Out of the Darkness on 4th May and the others arrived last week. Oh well, so long as I get the right boxed set I'll be happy.

(no real problems with the timing anyway, only just finished rewatching season one yesterday)
