 In 1998, a special edition was aired on TNT to kick reruns of the Babylon 5  series. The Special Edition (1998) has a new score by Christopher Franke (of  the regular series), cuts out small bits like the "zoo scene" at the  beginning, corrects effects like the color of the jumpgate, and adds a few  scenes which were cut out: Sinclair deals with a hostage situation in customs  involving "dust"; Carolyn confronts Delenn about her abstention on the vote;  the Takashima and Kyle scene is extended, as is the scene where Sinclair  describes the Battle of the Line; theres a new voiceover with Koshs voice;  plus Kyle remarks on what he saw when he opened Koshs encounter suit and the  mystery of Koshs hand is hinted at (longtime viewers will get it; new  viewers will just say, "huh?" so the mystery wont be spoiled.)
