Fans of Babylon 5 have for years hoped for their favorite show to end up on a subscription streaming service. After a short stay on go90, it looks like Babylon 5 fans have good news. Today on Twitter the creator of Babylon 5 announced that all 5 seasons of the show will be coming to Amazon Prime in June 2018.

Vir: "Ah! He has become one with his inner self!"
Garibaldi "He's passed out."
Vir: "That too."
Kosh: “And so it begins ...
Love that show. I’m in Season 2 for about the 20th time, working my way through.
Vir was my favorite!
Greatest television series of the entire Nineties decade.
And Jerry Doyle won’t be around to plug it unfortunately!
I built a model of a Starfury several years ago. It turned out really well, wish I still had it.
Yes, saw it on Prime. Will start watching soon.
I used to tune in that show every week to catch the next episode. Then one night, there was some other program on instead. Did they switch it to another night? I got a TV guide but couldn’t find it anywhere. Later I found out: the bastards cancelled it, mid-season! No warning at all. Bastards.
Are you really cutting a cord when you pay for a subscription service with another monopoly with Leftist politics?
This show also had the best finale ever. Makes me cry every time, even though I know what’s coming.
Love that show.
JMS once said the whole thing came to him at once. Unspooling in his mind. He had the beginning, middle and end all laid out before he even wrote a word.
It was set up as a five year story arc. The networks screwed it up so things got kinda rushed in places.
TNT screwed up Crusade.
I love B5 still.
The DVDS, books, and some CD music is still around.
We have it on DVD.
The 1 hour show they made a secret the story line and dragged it out for 5 seasons ,Brilliant

My thoughts exactly. Amazon is a huge funding source for LEFTYS. I avoid them at all cost. There must be a streaming service that doesnt fund the LEFT.
Great series.
Parts of it were cheesy. There were episodes that didn’t work. The special effects in the first couple of seasons were very primitive before CGI technology really came into its own around season 3. That said, it had a good and original and interesting story to tell and it had some good actors.
Oh and my favorite was Londo Mollari. Funny as hell. Scheming and devious at times. Ultimately tragic.
I watched the series when it came out but because at the time I was bouncing back and forth between the states and Europe for school/work, I got interrupted around season 3 and didn’t see a point in picking back up around season 5. I then watched the whole thing from the beginning on Netflix when they were still mailing out DVDs around 2005 or 06.
I also watched all the made for TV movies (about 5 of them) and the spinoff series Excalibur. Some of the movies were good and some were also quite cheesy.
I would really like to see some more well made spinoffs set in that universe. I know the creator was trying to get something going about 5 years ago but I guess plans fell through.
Maybe Hulu. Netflix is farther Left than Amazon.
Tubi Tv doesn’t offer a lot but it is free.
And while they have a lot of leftist documentaries, they also offer Dinesh DSouza’s films (which I still have not viewed).
There are commercials (even locally targeted) that may interrupt the program at times but far fewer than on broadcast television.
No matches for Babylon 5
Now this is the type of analytical and thought-provoking question we USED to have on FR "back in the day."
No doubt you'll be outright banned from FR or suspended for 30 days after posting it.
Either way, nice knowing you!
