Ah Fooey... had me all excited there

I'm happy to say I just picked up the B5:Movies DVD set, and I've been happy as a clam. I had them all taped on VHS from when they aired on TNT, but there's something that's just better about DVD. Another good thing is that I've finally replaced my Gathering/In the Begining DVD that was lost a while back. Now I just have to get Legend of the Rangers to complete my movie collection. =D

Nothing beats digital quality that's for sure, still.....VHS gives me a little nostalgia, having to be on the run if I wanted to tape those episod

Babylon 5 and Bruce Boxleitner rule . . . !

Babylon 5 & Claudia Christian rule.

Of all the characters in the show my favourites were Garibaldi & Ivanova (not necessarily in that order).

I like the fact that B5 has flawed characters, really bad things happen and things aren't put right at the end of the episode (unlike any next gen Star Trek show.)

It was the first TV show to use CGI for visual fx & virtual sets & the aliens didn't all look like humans with wrinkly foreheads (a la next gen trek).

Despite the fact that Joe Straczynski is an atheist, a lot of respect was shown for various religions (unlike trek because Rodenberry hated most organised religions).

The acting was for the most part very good & the writing was brilliant (apart from a few naff episodes, which Joe has offered to apologise for personally at conventions).

I would love to see more in the B5 universe, but until I can mug Bill Gates for a couple of Billion Dollars, I can't see it happening (TV execs just don't seem to like quality Science Fiction (too cerebral for them I think).

I'm B5-fan!

...and Whitestar-fan!

I for one am a B5 fan - loved the story lines and the show. Have almost all of them on tape and want the DVD's badly.

Big fan of the soundtrack... Not so much the show

No ?? At first I disliked it .. but a few years ago had a lot of time to my self and started to watch again .. but darn it grew on me ....

hi

i am new here but is a total babylon 5 fan..
I have my own website with the biggest database and informations on babylon 5 on the internet..

visit here http://www.smikesworld.dk

One of the reasons i love babylon 5 was the great characters and storyline.
and also the many humoristic events made in the series..

I am happy because they have started to make new episodes called "the lost Tales" but sad that they have desided not to continue the "crusade" episodes..

The Crusade episodes is really good and reminds me of star trek in the beginning where the enterprise is exploring new space..
sorry to say they only made 13 episodes even thoug there is written material for 5 seasons..
i loved the "Excalibur" destroyer witch is in my eyes is one of the best spaceships made in any sci-fi series..


i make 3d models and have made more than 60 different babylon 5 models which can be seen at http://www.3dvia.com under "smike"

If you'd like to make your models available here, you can upload them into whichever category.

And welcome aboard!
