Are you a Babylon 5 fan? Haven’t heard of Babylon 5 but like science fiction? Either way, if you have Amazon Prime… you are in luck. For many years, this lengthy series has been lost. Not on reruns, not available to stream. But now, finally, it is back. Five season, 110 episodes.
Remember Star Trek: Deep Space Nine? Babylon 5 is very similar, in fact a bit too similar. Paramount turned down production of Babylon 5 after being given a detailed layout of the series and first year of scripts… then announced Deep Space Nine. One case where a lawsuit was never filed.. surprisingly.
So, when you are on your computer typing away like I am now, perhaps fire up Babylon 5, like I am now….
“It’s our last, best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 22258, the name of the place is Babylon 5!”
It is not the best science fiction series ever. That I would give to Battlestar Galactica. But, Babylon 5 is very good… even 20+ years later.
