B5 SFX was rendered at 1/2 scale (quarter screen) and enlarged and the
original models are gone.  It's definitely not new/recreated models/fx,
and definitely better than original... like I said probably AI upscaled,
there are animation upscale algorithms that do pretty good, which is
likely what was used for those clips.  There's a host of problems why B5
didn't see a remaster before the one for HBO Max, which is why my
assumption is it was a good AI driven upscaling.
