Babylon 5 The Complete Series

Imagine a space sci-fi series where united planets/regions stave off hostile alien invaders and other dangers in space, features an international and interplanetary crew and is at the crossroads of interplanetary commerce and trade aboard a space station.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine? Star Wars? Battlestar Galactica? Nope, none of them.

It’s Babylon 5-the epic space opera from Warner Bros./Discovery and writer/creator J. Michael Straczynski.

The popular five seasons television series ran from 1994 to 1998 for a total of 110 episodes and is considered one of the most groundbreaking, original and critically acclaimed sci-fi TV series ever produced.

Starting with the pilot film The Gathering the series began one year later with each season representing one year in real time.

The five-year story arc paved the way for later series.

In 2258 CE five adversarial federations control and dominate the outermost space regions.

An uneasy peace is established on a lone space station: Babylon 5.

The stellar cast, writers, production staff and studio turned out a first-rate series on a limited budget.

Despite its budget restrictions the series successfully turned out stellar episodes with plenty of action, intrigue and impressive special effects.

Both the pilot movie and the full five seasons of the series are included in the deluxe Blu-ray collection: Babylon 5 The Complete Series celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the series and Warner Bros/Discovery. 100th Anniversary.

"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace." — Numbers 6:24-26
