Babylon 5 The Road Home

Thirty years ago! It’s hard to believe but the stellar science fiction TV series Babylon 5 hit the airways three decades ago.

The popular TV show forever changed the genre of TV science fiction with its engrossing scripts, diverse characters (both human and alien) and its intense setting aboard a giant spaceship that was inhabited by aliens from across the universe.

I remember when the series first aired and there was somewhat of a controversy.

There was a conflict between Babylon 5 and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Both series took place aboard spaceships/stations, were steeped in political intrigue and conflict amongst numerous alien species.

Babylon 5 

producers and creators were upset by the obvious similarities between the series. Warner Bros. and Paramount Studios faced off as accusations heated up. Eventually the conflict was resolved and both series went on to long runs and success.

I've included a link to an article explaining the whole situation: https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2020/01/29/exploring-the-babylon-5-vs-deep-space-nine-plagiarism-allegations/

Warner Bros./Discovery presents the 30th Anniversary release of a new computer animated original movie: Babylon 5 The Road Home with voices supplied by the original cast.

While attending a new energy generation plant about to go on line he is exposed to tachyon rays that triggers a reaction hurtling him through time and space.

As he travels through time, alternate worlds and realities his condition worsens. To make matters worse the frequency of the traveling intensifies.

If he doesn’t find a solution the entire universe--reality will cease to exist.

It’s an exciting, action packed, intense sequences of events reuniting the many much loved characters from the Babylon 5 TV series.
