Was looking to rewatch Babylon 5 after seeing all the PR about Star Trek 50 and Deep Space Nine, and saw the boxset was £50. But you can buy the original individual season boxsets for £12.50 + £2.50 delivery from CEX. Bargain!
I know the big boxset includes a load of TV movies and that spin off series, but those aren't great so I just stuck to the core seasons.
Hope this is of some use to someone!

Babylon 5 was one of the very first TV shows to use entirely computer generated visuals, ground breaking in its day but a bog standard thing these days. So you remember how old it is the original visuals were done with Newtek Lightwave 3D on Commodore Amigas no less....:smile:
Heat for the price OP. Big sci-fi fan, but I just couldn't get into Babylon 5 at all. The special effects were pants for the time. Wonder how they've fared with age.

Can't comment on that, but if you watch one episode, make it Shattered Dreams!

That's £15 for all 5, not per series, which is what I originally thought!

Great series (apart from the 5th for all kinds of reason's). JMS's writing was master class on how to do good SF arc's, only spoiled in places by the half assed meddling of the network...

4th series was a bit rushed too! A shame really as they never explained some visions because of this like the raven I think. I liked series 1-3 myself. There were some awful moments though - boom shaka laka - 3 bags full! :smiley:

I still love my Amiga. This is the same back and forth I had with my Babylon 5 loving friends 20 years ago :laughing:

Great price for a brilliant, ground breaking SCI FI show, I feel like watching it all over again, still disappointed at the way the first commander left after season 1 although it was explained in one of the films.
