I'm always worried when I see such remasters, wondering what gets changed or lost in the process... And feel even worse for getting rid of the first four seasons when I had that HDD failure in 2007 and I had no room to back up everything when it temporarily "revived", since it was while I was finally watching it properly and I had already watched those, was at season 5 then, so just kept season 5, the movies minus the first one (also already watched), and Crusade. Those are still backed up somewhere since then, actually. Yeah, they were obtained, er, as pretty much everything was at the time, and CD quality, analog TV resolution, 350 Mb/episode, 700 Mb/movie, so compression likely means that it looks worse than it actually did on TV back in the day, but what matters is that it's the real, original stuff, without somebody messing around with it.
At least the file with quotes from the series is still on my desktop, has been ever since. And quite a number, and quite a number of scenes, are burned into my mind. Don't see how the fact that I see it as the best TV series could ever change.
PS: About condensing season 5 into 4, quite distinctly remember JMS saying that just four episoded of five were squeezed into four when they thought they won't get renewed. But yes, the final episode was filmed so it'll be the end of season 4 if that will be it, then actually aired at the end of season 5.
