Catch-up Episode Guide
Additionally, if you wanted to catch up before Season 2, there is a viewing guide available from Bjorn Munson. You're missing some character moments and some episodes that don't work well for everyone, but you'll get what you need to know going forward. They recommend...
S1, E01 – “Midnight on the Firing Line”
S1, E05 – “The Parliament of Dreams”
S1, E06 – “Mind War”
S1, E07 – “The War Prayer”
S1, E13 – “Signs and Portents”
S1, E18 – “A Voice in the Wilderness, Part 1”
S1, E19 – “A Voice in the Wilderness, Part 2”
S1, E20 – “Babylon Squared”

Such a weird release process with the ClipZone edition of things, but at least now the official B5 channel has all the episodes up now.
I'd certainly be interested in having some kind of thread or bump-post for season 2, assuming it comes out soon in some kind of coherent manner.
I really enjoyed watching the first season with the folks here, and I've wanted to finish out the whole series for a while. Definitely looking forward to S2 and the rest.
Maybe I missed something in the decades but I wasn't able to watch this since a long while ago. But it is one of the best scifi series due to foresight and continuity, even if the later season...
Maybe I missed something in the decades but I wasn't able to watch this since a long while ago. But it is one of the best scifi series due to foresight and continuity, even if the later season suffered due to network reasons.
Offtopic but I want to say my appreciation by randomly region locking stuff for no logical reason(I don't consider copyright to behave logically in >99% cases). Also I really like the cluttered interface that does not show any relevant information.
I'm enjoying the 2-3 day release schedule on the official B5 youtube channel. Some time to let an episode sink in, but not too long to forget it. Random Thoughts: -How are they allowed to post...
I'm enjoying the 2-3 day release schedule on the official B5 youtube channel. Some time to let an episode sink in, but not too long to forget it.
Random Thoughts:
-How are they allowed to post full episodes anyway? Is the channel run by Warners?
-Seeing J Michael Strazinsky on the channel made me hope he'd do commentary on the episodes, but I guess not.
-I really hated the Episode "Eyes" but I think that was intentional. That scene-chewing Evil General was way over the top. Nice to see Jeffrey Combs though.
-The end of "Believers" still makes me sympathize with Dr Franklin.
-I still hate the Minbari tiny fake neck ears...
Yes, that is a Warner Brothers channel and they're clear to post episodes available for the US region. There may be some special features or interviews in-between seasons or however it's broken...
