1. Yes!

And I'm waiting for the next package of videos and such to get shipped soon (just have to pay the remainder of my pre-order when they ask.)

And you?

[TexasTowelie]

2. Yes.

One of the better sci-fi series out there.

[quarbis]

4. A thousand times yes

loved it and Claudia Christian

[DetlefK]

5. Loved the show.

I have recently read that they originally wanted to make the show about a spaceship visiting planets. But then they figured that they would need a new set every time a new planet was introduced. So they switched to space-station.

[Igel]

6. Yup. Who are you?

The sci-fi club I was in used gather at a neighbor's apt. when it was still airing. Now he's with the Spitzer Space Telescope team.

Just finished watching the entire series, start to finish, on DVD--including all the movies. Had to get to the kid interested in it.

So, what do you want?

BTW, this is probably my first time in the Lounge. Clicked the link by accident saw this post, had to respond. B5 doesn't show up much in conversation these days.

8. Where are you going, and who do you trust?

Still lament how TNT ruined Crusade

It's too bad one of those altruistic billionaires out there wasn't also a science fiction fan. Maybe then we could resurrect the SciFi channel, though likely having to call it something else. Like the SpecSciFi / SSF (Speculative Science Fiction) channel

10. One of my fave Sci Fi series.

I thought the plots were well written and acted out. I'm still a bit miffed at discovering that one of the long term cast members was a right wing nut job, I think his name on the show was Garibaldi, he played the head of security.

I also loved the new version of the Battlestar Gallactica series but I did have a major complaint in how they kept panning the cameras too much. It tended to get bothersome almost giving me a seasick feeling but other than that I liked that series as much as I ever loved B-5.

Sort of relatedly, I was the other day thinking that it would be nice if someone did a full length movie based on the book 'The City And The Stars' by Arthur C. Clark.

11. I haven't watched in god knows how many years

But I did love it.

[Liberal_in_LA]

12. watched about four years of the show. skipped a season the saw finale

[Nac Mac Feegle]

13. Here

One of the best sci-fi shows ever. Thought provoking and hopeful.

[AngryDem001]

14. The 5-year arc

was way ahead of it's time.

[CBGLuthier]

15. Absolutely

Consider it a landmark achievement in television writing and even production. They did a lot with very little money.

I often post the ending scene from Z'ha'dum as an example of one of my favorite scenes ever.

[cyberswede]

16. Excellent series.

I have the whole series on VHS - a geeky friend taped them all & edited out the commercials.

I used to read a message board where JMS posted regularly - it was awesome to learn his take on things.

And Walter Koenig was great as Bester.

[PragmaticLiberal]

17. Yep.

Best sci-fi show EVER...in my humble opinion.

[tigereye]

24. totally!

When folks go on and on about Firefly, I always wonder- to me, no comparison to Babylon 5...

[ProfessorGAC]

18. You Betcha!

Dug it a lot! Do you know where i can get a Vorlon ship?

[AngryDem001]

21. Here you go!

[ProfessorGAC]

22. No!!! I Meant I Need An Actual Vorlon Ship

Thought you might have had an extra one laying around in space dock.

[AngryDem001]

25. Nah, I wish did though.

That main cannon has many uses....

[Xyzse]

19. I'd love to start it, but it is not in any of my streaming services.

[LanternWaste]

20. All five seasons on DVD... and I suggest and then lend it to many friends

All five seasons on DVD... and I suggest and then lend it to as many friends and acquaintances as often as possible to grow the fan base.

JMS-- the Great Maker.

[pokerfan]

23. Yes
