i always watch babylon 5. .. i always watching it.. except for the ending part when i have to went out of town. that is suck... now i am looking for dvd but i cant find it here in indonesia...
@mcsquizy why remake something thats already perfect. If they wanted to continue the babylon 5 story thats one thing, but remakes are kind of pointless.
I watched B5 for quite some time now, and I can never seem to understand why when you open a hyperspace portal/window, or whatever, why is the color either blue, yellow, or orange? Is it always random or does is there something to it?
@starflame34 It's not random, when entering hyperspace the window is orange-ish with some yellow, but when exiting hyperspace it's blue, though this convention has at times been overlooked, presumably due to "advancements in hyperspace technology". Also the look of the portals changes in the movies, when better CGI became more widely available. Quantum space windows are all blue, and quantum space is apparently blue itself not the red hue that normal hyperspace is.
Funny, I don't remember Pres. Sheridan in command of the "Excalibur". And I don't think that I ever missed an episode of B-5. Can someone out there set me straight? =Stefan=
@darksau Thank you. I checked my DVD's. You're right. When you get my age, the first thing to go is..... uhhh, I forget. =Stefan= P.S. Hey, at least I remember by sign off!!! =S=
I think BSG's story is as good as Babylon 5s. Even though they both take place primarily on ships in space, they can be difficult to compare. BSG, in general, as a darker tone the B5 (notice I said darker,not more realistic as many tend to interpret "darker"). Also, BSG as a more concentrated story (the humans fight for survival being a constant theme). However, B5 is able to explore more diverse ideas than BSG, and play to more variable characters and plot lines. Effects don't really matter. :)
the 90s was the best time for sci-fi we had TNG B5 DS9 and Voyager, SG1 was also very good i loved that show as well. but it started to go no where and the villeins started to look very familiar and predictable. the best comeback from the old days was battlestar galactica, even that it was short 4 seasons i think it had a very powerful story, every episode was a cliff hanger i enjoyed this show. Now we face the abyss of sci-fi where space is unreachable for new writers and no funding for it.!!!
I like B5, but sometimes the expository dialouge was so ham-handed and awkward it was hard to watch. "They only have one planet killer but don't want anyone to know, just like the United States only had two nukes when they went after Japan." It's 200 hundred years and the future, and he just happens to use that as a reference. It's too obvious that they're words written by a writer in the modern day, rather than spoken by an actual person in the future.
@JCIce007 Actually Garabaldy was into old stuff such as motorcycles, TV shows like daffy duck etc, so would make sense that he'd use a reference from something he was familiar with. It's consistent with his character.
Awesome sci-fi best story i ever seen in sci-fi, all was good, maybe some of special effects look poor but Babylon 5 is from 1994-1998 so who cares. Thjis balle here is awesome Volron+Mimabri+Shadow technology kick ass, whaite star was awseome but excalibur class ship is really destroyers, this scenes of battle is from pilot of babylon5:crusade i want watch it too...
ps:Narns is best warioris in galaxy, Centauri cry for lost great times, humans had two faces i love this...
to people who never watched any sci-fi show made in the 1900s: if you didnt notice, most of the best sci-fi shows are made in the 1900s? nowadays sci-fi series and movies only target the young generations by showing epic battles and no proper or good storyline.
take stargate universe for example: IT SUCKS MY BALLZ!
stargate SG-1 and atlantis rocks SHITZ better than universe
The writing on the various telemovies was nowhere near as good as the best of the series... Got to love 'consoshium' in a Russian accent... Special effects pretty good for the 90s. Bad music and mixing in this clip - not original? Yes, the captains having to say 'fire' is just silly. :) Hey, a JMS script that doesn't end in a nuke solving all their problems!
@Eikinkloster I'd rather a nuke or ramming be the solution than reversing the polarity of the mcguffin so the sillium can fire a stream of nonsensium particles at the target.
@Fbueller129 :-) I saw the Stargate spoof on Star Trek on the subject... but I gotta confess I don't recall seeing it myself on any Trek episode. Then again, I'm not half as autistic as it's needed to be to be a true trekker and keep track of these things. I even enjoyed Nemesis and bald Tom Hardy in it.
Isn't it a big silly that the captain has to keep saying "fire, fire fire"? Damn, there is a tactical officer there, let him acquire the targets and push the button. Unless it's a special maneuver, I doubt in real life navy the capitain will say fire EVERY SINGLE TIME the ship fires.
@Eikinkloster Those Victory Class ships had a lot of cannons + interceptors firing simultaneously. The constant "fire, fire fire" you were referring to would more than likely be directions to the main (though not THE main, drain the ship for two? minutes) guns.
Or it could be that JMS didn't want them just sat back in a chair reading a newspaper and casually looking up every minute or so :)
@chrisktaylor "JMS didn't want them just sat back in a chair reading a newspaper"
:-) Good one.
I think it would make more sense if the captains were giving directions and choosing targets... or something like the Homeworld II chatter: "enemy is engaging..."
:-p One warhammer 40k battle barge like the Furious Abyss, could take on both of the fleets + the planets :-p probably because its full of guns and a size of a Babylon 5 station, :-p anyway babylon 5 was a greate series,
@svartekaptenen The GOD network was decimated during the episode Endgame. It is likely that it hadn't been replaced by the time of the Drakh invasion.
Here's what actually happened (discovered by JMS a few years later)
.
TNT found their audience preferred simple 1-episode stories, and wanted to buy Law&Order episodes to fit that audience, but they were stuck with the B5 Crusade contract. So they sabotaged the show by demanding things they KNEW J.Michael Straczynski would never agree to do
.
And it worked - he got frustrated and walked from TNT's demands that Captain Gideon order his female crew to be raped by aliens, or to include wrestling
@PINTO2O2O The "Victory" of sorts was they stopped the Shadow Planet Killer, they had 2 targets and only enough firepower to stop 1. The Planet Killer which would pound Earth into rubble in a few salvos or the Plauge Fleet (Sheridan didnt know they were carrying plauge ether).
I'm debating watching this. I've sat thru all of Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe and also watched Battlestar Galatica so I'm wondering how this will compare.
@gardengnome1981 WELL BATTLESTAR GALACTICA HAS BEEN AWARDED FOR BEST SHOW EVERY YEAR IT WAS OUT AND THATS FOR SCI-FI ACTION DRAMA AND NOT FORGETING BEST SHOW OF ALL TIME XD
@Alexedishi I do not know so much about the Babylon 5 spin offs but the original series is the best television series I have ever seen. I also do like Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis.
Babylon 5 has ruined sci fi for me! I used to love Star Trek, Farscape etc, but after watching the whole of Babylon 5 everything else seems so poor in comparison! :( Still, what a show! Just wish it had gone on for a few more seasons! :)
you should see battletar galatica you will be surprised how fu""" ing amazing this series is a just finished seiing all 4 seasons and i can tell you mind blowing good argument actors special effects almost realistic give it a try you wont be sorry i think its the best series i ever seen (and i am very hard to impress ) ;)
the new one... i think the first season dates from 2003/2004 i cant tell for shure but do some googling and you wll find it.. if you haveving problems finding the series i will give you some links to help ....cherrs mate
@alexandercominski , Agreed B5 is amazing, I nearly died at the end of B5, I was so upset when B5 was decommisioned & blown up. I went looking for a nice length of rope.
@alexandercominski dude...seriously? it was scheduled for 7 seasons... Its a good story, it wasnt ment to continue..on...and on...and on..and on...unlike the other two giants out there.
im sure somewhere along the line there will be another babylon series, but not right now.
Babylon 5 and Farscape are leagues above everything else. I was a B5 fan before I got into Farscape and I have to say as much as I loved B5 Farscape is my favorite.
@alexandercominski it ran 7 seasons, exactly how long the director wanted. I hope though one day, we will see a big budget movie ...id go to the big screen and tolerate the stupid noisy humans beside me to watch one.
Storyline - B5(well thought out story with much more satisfying ending), Cast - tie(Katsulas/Jurasik - B5 vs Hogan/Olmos - BSG, it's a wash), Direction - BSG(First 2 seasons were incredibly paced and eagerly anticipated), I won't count cg since it's unfair to compare current cg to cg from 10 years ago. B5 is much more conventional sci-fi whereas BSG is more drama with sci-fi elements. It's going to depend on what you like - I happen to think both were great shows to watch.
Well the specialeffects would be a outdated compared to BSG, but the story is a good or even better. I would describe B5 as Lord of the Rings in Space. Really great character development, better then BSG in my opinion.
I havnt watched B5 but if it does have better character development than BSG then it must be literally amazing.Because BSG was by far the best sci fi TV show ive ever seen.BSG made me have no life for quite some time.Everything about it was amazing
the only thing i didnt like about this show was the scripting. the captains ceep saying fire. they should have someone else doing that the captain just orders the ship to come about or directs the fire but doesnt say when to fire thats not there job. i think battlestar galactica perfected that. along with the awsome scripting
The original music score for this movie episode was awful, this music here is better, any music would have been. The original music ruined this movie for me.
call to arms spawned the tv show crusade.. i was watching it the other day and one of the flaws of crusade is the intro. The acting was okay, but no match for b5 days.
thats why that JMS dude canceld it the network wanted to cahnge alot of things, the uniform epasode was a joke set to the network cause they pressured it into the show. after a few of them JMS said fuck it and stoped making em. Crusade could have been a great show had potental if JMS had total controll.
question: I'm gonna go ahead with this one but I just wanted to know how many seasons is there? If there is too many I need to re organize my media calender
That's a bit misleading - while there was a story arc stretched across 4 seasons, there were also many, many filler-episodes which could be ignored (some of them were abysmal - Grey 17 is missing for example, or Born to the Purple). Seasons 1 and 5 were almost entirely filler.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lame shit "uhh we got now ships with vorlon guns - lets rip some drak asses open!" you don't always need titan weapons to fight titans... its fucking lame!
i love the victory class also.. .but shouldnt there be one of those cannons on the bottom of the ship to cover all angles ? there are 2 up top... im no expert or anything , just think its a design flaw not to place a gun under also ? maybe im being too pickey lol
I love the Victory class... However aren't the other races tired of sending there ships to help defend Earth!?!? I mean come on! Maybe Minbar or Centari, or even Narn would come under attack! And we could see the IA and earth come to there defense... I mean that's what the Alliance is all about! Right?
I miss the original music - it was brilliant - too good for most of the people who first watched, I think - too long in the past to worry about it ...
Don't flat-out say "they were wrong," when you also put an assumption in the next sentence.
I doubt you would know much about really goes on behind those closed political doors - and certainly since there hasn't been any major wars (world) in over 60 years.
Besides, if a fact that the us only had two nuclear bombs. Why would you need more when you've literally blown the enemy into surrender?
at least its music that fits this setting. I hate B5 vids with dumb rock songs, IT DOES NOT MATCH FUCK CRYING OUT LOUD. Jeremy Soule rocks. and so does Supreme Commander.
DeltaRomeoNiner..i have seen some of your vids...very good...this 1 however had a fatal flaw...the music was too loud..it spoilt the video a bit im sorry to say..otherwise good vid
Its all about money, when the spent money the shows were good, when they cut the budget and wrote interior based shows and filler shows they sucked. Bean counters sank B5 and have made sure all spinoffs and movies have sucked since. Low budget plus sci fi equals crap. If you cant fund it dont make it.
Music toooooo loud!

@alexandercominski it ran 7 seasons, exactly how long the director wanted. I hope though one day, we will see a big budget movie ...id go to the big screen and tolerate the stupid noisy humans beside me to watch one.

Storyline - B5(well thought out story with much more satisfying ending), Cast - tie(Katsulas/Jurasik - B5 vs Hogan/Olmos - BSG, it's a wash), Direction - BSG(First 2 seasons were incredibly paced and eagerly anticipated), I won't count cg since it's unfair to compare current cg to cg from 10 years ago. B5 is much more conventional sci-fi whereas BSG is more drama with sci-fi elements. It's going to depend on what you like - I happen to think both were great shows to watch.

Well the specialeffects would be a outdated compared to BSG, but the story is a good or even better. I would describe B5 as Lord of the Rings in Space. Really great character development, better then BSG in my opinion.

@arveduilastking
I havnt watched B5 but if it does have better character development than BSG then it must be literally amazing.Because BSG was by far the best sci fi TV show ive ever seen.BSG made me have no life for quite some time.Everything about it was amazing

the only thing i didnt like about this show was the scripting. the captains ceep saying fire. they should have someone else doing that the captain just orders the ship to come about or directs the fire but doesnt say when to fire thats not there job. i think battlestar galactica perfected that. along with the awsome scripting

thats why that JMS dude canceld it the network wanted to cahnge alot of things, the uniform epasode was a joke set to the network cause they pressured it into the show. after a few of them JMS said fuck it and stoped making em.

everyone commenting on B5 needs to watch the entire series. It was done as 1 story over 5 years, not 100 episodes that can be broadcast out of order.
Think of it as a video book. Seeing 1-2 episodes doesn't mean anything.
If you like it. Start with season 1, episode 1 and go from there.

question: I'm gonna go ahead with this one but I just wanted to know how many seasons is there? If there is too many I need to re organize my media calender
mwong666 2 years ago
That's a bit misleading - while there was a story arc stretched across 4 seasons, there were also many, many filler-episodes which could be ignored (some of them were abysmal - Grey 17 is missing for example, or Born to the Purple). Seasons 1 and 5 were almost entirely filler.

Don't flat-out say "they were wrong," when you also put an assumption in the next sentence.
I doubt you would know much about really goes on behind those closed political doors - and certainly since there hasn't been any major wars (world) in over 60 years.
Besides, if a fact that the us only had two nuclear bombs. Why would you need more when you've literally blown the enemy into surrender?

Its all about money, when the spent money the shows were good, when they cut the budget and wrote interior based shows and filler shows they sucked. Bean counters sank B5 and have made sure all spinoffs and movies have sucked since. Low budget plus sci fi equals crap. If you cant fund it dont make it.
