It's on iTunes if you don't mind buying it again ($20/season or $70 for all five).

This thread has got me really wanting to rewatch B5, but out here in Hong Kong we can't get it on Amazon Prime. Any Asia Goons know of a way to watch it in this region?

You might check iTunes, it has the whole series in the US but I dunno about other regions.

Has no one in this thread seen The Expanse? Because it's hitting some of the big space opera with politics hits that B5 is known for, just no aliens.

Yeah, The Expanse is pretty great. Dark Matter turned out to be surprisingly good too.

You guys are really missing some seriously good hardcore Sci-Fi. Space battles using newtonian physics, political intrigue with numerous factions, it's really what you want if you crave even a little bit of what B5 did.

If you can't watch the tv series for whatever reason, it's a book series, so you could always go to your local library! Check out Leviathan Wakes.


I like some of Dark Matter. It is surprisingly good, I'll agree but only because I went in with low expectations. It's definitely got a "made by the people who brought you Stargate SG1" feel but the characters are good and while the plot can be hit or miss the acting is pretty good all around.

Yep, I definitely wasn't expecting much when I started it and it was pretty goofy at first but I ended up liking it. A bit like Farscape in that way, but I love Farscape now.

I went to see if he had posted anything about it on Usenet back then and came across this instead which gave me a good chuckle.

I don’t remember much DS9 music but the main theme owns.

Also Christopher Franke owns, Tangerine Dream owns, and B5 music owns.

ITunes should have the same new 4:3 HD version now as Amazon and HBO Max do. Can't confirm by myself but that's what the internet tells me.

It does in the US at least, $70 for the series

E: it used to be the lovely DVD version but it was updated to the 4:3 remaster around the time it came out elsewhere
