    I have a soft spot for B5. I've only ever actually watched the first series...but it was something of a help for me when I first started building up stretches of sobriety from alcohol. Crikey - this is sounding like a heavy post! I had a very happy six weeks off the booze, probably back in 2010. My evenings were spent watching Bablyon 5 and enjoying microwavable curry - in bed. This was after either being at work, or a 10 mile hike. A healthy, happy time crowned with B5. Maybe I'll start re-watching it.

    I am ok just watching the original series all over again. It has some great characters and stories. I hope you are doing well.

    Hello everyone, Hopefully, there is still some B5 fans active on Fidonet. It's been about 10 years since I watched Babylon 5 for the first time. It is arguably the best Sci-Fi ever written for television, but the later standalone movies and spin off series

    no need for a reboot, they did it perfect the first time around. I think Ambassador Kosh was my favorite character.

    My favorite scene is when Sheriden gets up in Kosh's face about not willing to help fight the Shadows. I forget the episode name.

    Ambassador Kosh was my favorite character.

    Yea, but if they made a new release at least we'd have a nice 4K HD version to watch, lol.

    My favorite was Fall of Night. I love the Narn cruisers, they look awesome and we get to see one and see the Centauri get their asses kicked and deal with the fallout. The wrap up of the President Clark thread is also good.

    The standard view is fine. I think after a certain point in the resolution our eyes cannot detect the differences anyway. I do love that old show . Have a great day Ken.

    My favorite episode is the one where Kosh reveals his true form to save Sheridan.

    That was also "Fall of Night".
