Babylon 5 - Page 2

heh well C4 buggered around with the schedule enough from what I remember. I never knew week to week what time it was being shown.

Oh C4 was a mess. They got more complaints about B5 than any other show at that time. People were furious over their stupid clock placement. I remember S3 used to be on at tea time Sunday evening. S5 was after / before Hollyoaks, which I know because I started watching Hollyoaks at that time. Fans HATED the clock on the show. They were looking for legal grounds based on that the clock was blocking peoples names in the credits. They also wrote in to get C4 to air the credits for the final episode without any stupid voice-overs or ads.

Would anyone mind me borrowing them for a short time in exchange for beer tokens/HDD full of HD content?

Just found this thread about to post as I know there are fans here, play has them for £14/season, that's £70 for the lot.

In other words, about £1.57/hour of TV.

I remember paying £14 per vhs.

I have found a copy laying around the house. I have S1-5, Crusade 1-13 & B5 movies. What order should I watch them in?

leowyatt · 30-07-2008, 20:37

start at the beginning with episode 1. Though you could watch the movie in the beginning if you like.

Noooooooo! Watch the movie 'The Gathering' first. Then B5 seasons 1-4. Then if you want you can watch the movies 'In the Beginning' and 'Thirdspace'. Then watch S5 and you can then watch the other 2 movies. You have to watch 'A Call to Arms' before you watch Crusade too. If you watch it in any other order it will ruin things, especially if you watch 'In the beginning' first.

I think I've got the gathering and in the beginning mixed up

The Gathering is the one where they look different to the actual show because its the pilot. Originally it had different music because they didn't have Christopher Franke on board at the time, I think. Oh and The Gathering also has a slightly different crew.
