I've been searching for the DVD for quite some time now, but I have given up trying to find the set. Acutally all I want to buy it for was to see the battles fought in it. I dunno if anyone here has seen it, but what was it like? I heard that in one of the battles the whole front line of a Earthforce fleet was litterary blown to pieces in like the 1st 10 seconds...that would have been pretty sweet to watch Can people here tell me more about the movie? And what it contains?

It is available on Amazon.com

I bought "In the Beginning" and The Gathering" combo DVD from them.

The Gathering is the pilot made for tv movie, just like B5:LOTR.

That just about sums up the movie for the EA.

w00t...thnx for the preview clip and amazon link ppl. The EA fleet really got owned in that short video. In less then 5 seconds... 4 novas, few hyperions, all gone. Good thing TBP isn't like that lol.

Oh BTW I swore I saw a Omega that got ripped to pieces...I thought only Novas were around that time period...And why was it so weak? My Fav. B5 ship, gone in a second

This has been old news since... well, In the Beginning. It was just a simple mistake - an Omega got slipped in there, you're not the first one to notice that. Omegas were only designed and built after the E-M war.

Oh btw was that earth in the background of that clip? Since the battle fought looked a bit like 'the battle of the line' from R1.

That clip probably was from the Battle of the Line (I haven`t downloaded it but In The Beginning does feature that battle)

That was not the Battle of the Line in that clip. That was one of the first battles of the war.
