Hi everyone,
I just finished watching all five seasons of Babylon Five. First time I saw all the episodes in order. Now to watch the made-for-TV movies and the short lived spin-off Crusade.
By the way, The Babylon Podcast finally had an interview with "The Great Maker"
J. Michael Straczynski

I've been looking for an excuse to buy the complete DVD set of B5. I've been bragging up the series to my girlfriend. There are two or three episodes I missed when it was on tv. Now may be the time to rectify that situation! :biggrin

Must download that podcast. I watched B5 a few years ago but have now inherited a full VHS copy from an ex-colleague so could do it all again.

The intervew sounds interesting. Thanks for letting us know.

ChadH, we still have to get through DS9! Take some "sick" days, I'll stay home to tend you, and we can marathon!

You know "sick days" aren't an option. Someone has to pay the mortgage!;)

I watched the first two seasons not less then a month ago on Hulu. I really loved it, but now Hulu has run out on me. I have a friends who's been suggesting Netflix to me saying I need to see the rest of the series. I haven't wanted to get Netflix before, just because I don't know if I have enough time to make it worth while, but my desire to see the rest of this series has got me very tempted.

If you're happy with seasons 1 and 2 then 3 and 4 will be a real treat (5 less so but still good).

I can't tell you how to spend your money but you do need to see those episodes!

Well with my new job and money in pocket I'm really thinking about it. I am really excited to see the next seasons and I'm sure I will one way or another before summers over.

They are definitely worth having. Just be glad you don't have to pay the original release price like I did for most of them ($120 / season, ouch).

Seasons 2-4 were outstanding. At least about halfway through S4. S5, not so much, still has my favorite ep. "Day of the Dead" written by Neil Gaiman. As for the movies, Crusade & Lost Tales, I wouldn't bother unless you are an OCD completist collector-type like myself.

The thing that killed season 5 for me was the last episode of season 4 which basically tied up the entire series. Though I am of the understanding that they never aired that ep on tv.

Feathers · July 07, 2009, 12:50:34 PM

The ep they filmed as the season 4 finale was aired as the season 5 finale with the first episode filmed for season 5 going out at the end of season 4 as far as I know.

Meddling networks...
