    Episode 1 isn't missing as such, since the pilot was a film called The Gathering. Not sure why they changed the episode numbering. But if you want to watch it, someone's uploaded it to YouTube.

        Sorry, The Gathering was definitely on YouTube earlier in the month when I watched it. Should have checked before posting.

    • Rod M on 18/02/2026 - 10:56

      so you should watch the movie pilot first off YT before EP1?

    A 30yo tv show coming onto a paid streaming service is now considered a bargain? This belongs in the forums….

    • Pinchy on 18/02/2026 - 10:43

      Previously it wasn't available for streaming in Australia. So I guess its a bargain? Either way its a nice announcement.

      It's a classic, well-regarded sci-fi series that was previously quite expensive to access legally. Seems worth posting to me.

        Hasn't been trashed (yet) by a remake like pretty much all other sci-fi shows.

        • SurprisedPanda on 18/02/2026 - 18:06

          hollywood is out of ideas, just wait

    • Franc-T on 18/02/2026 - 18:38

      Also they leave out final season as you have to buy it and movies if you love it (and if you love good sci fi you will almost certainly love B5)

      Call me a cynic

    Great show. Showing its age a bit in terms of production values (1990s free to air TV is not like today's big budget streaming), but still a great story.

        I think there were a couple books after the point where they stopped, yes.

        Adapting those isn't a simple task for a few reasons though…

          Also really sucks that the actor that played Alex Kamal did some allegedly dodgy stuff and they had to write that character out of the series.

                Funny thing about consent is that you rarely see males use it against the opposite sex, but females definitely abuse their position. If the guys famous or rich and the chic is not getting their way with him/money they fu#$ him up!

                Seriously waiting for the day where neuro-link meets Minority Report. More chics in lockup and fined for being a bit#$

            @nedski: yeah basically one of those dumb "consent and then change of mind after the fact" type events and ruined the whole last season without him there.

    • Cleremy on 18/02/2026 - 23:04

      As much as I like ST: TNG and think it probably hasn't been equalled in many aspects, the story arc of Babylon 5 manages to put it ahead for me. Even if the suspension of disbelief and acting isn't quite up to the standard of ST:TNG.

    the season 5 page is here:
    https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Babylon-5/0IXSMZLH8RLBZQ4P…

    but as stated there are no episodes.

    Looks like S5 is a different studio "discovery plus Sci-Fi" vs the other 4 seasons which are Warner Bros, so that might be the reason there are no eps?

    • dyziplen on 18/02/2026 - 11:57

    They had most of it on Youtube last week, but I guess it was a negotiating tactic as they've set all of it to private since.

    This really was a fantastic series… won a heap of awards at the time as well. It was well ahead of its time and included entire races being subjugated, misunderstandings leading to conflict etc… and the ugly side of war that was rarely shown in other mainstream sci-fi. I am sure that some of the SPFX will look dated now.. but it is well worth a watch for the storytelling.

    • Kommodore on 18/02/2026 - 14:52

      Also the creator wrote the whole show from the start, the first episodes foreshadow stuff that happens at the end. No one ever does this anymore unless its based on a book.

      It has an epic coherent arc and character development like nothing else still.

      • SurprisedPanda on 18/02/2026 - 18:10

    • Cleremy on 18/02/2026 - 22:48

      It was the first show to risk telling a continuing story from episode to episode, rather than having each episode be self-contained. Paved the way for other series to do the same.

  • rhino86 on 18/02/2026 - 12:06

      Yeah with the Video Toaster hardware and Lightwave software. I don't think it was for the whole run, though, just the first couple of seasons?

      • pacificstorm on 18/02/2026 - 13:41

        Thought so. Might watch just to see the Toaster and Lightwave in action. The Amiga was king of the demo scene back in the day.

      The creator met with Paramount and pitched the show to them. Had trouble getting off the ground quickly. Then "coincidentally" Paramount decides it can do a Star Trek series set on a space station and launches it before Babylon 5.

    Season 5 being missing is not a big deal. The show was originally meant to go for 5 seasons, but at the end of season 3 they scrapped the 5th season (thinking they wouldn't get a 5th), so the writers put the rest of the story into season 4, which was a hit! It did get a 5th season that no longer existed. They slapped together some storyline, but the real tale that was to be told happened from Season 1 to Season 4 of the series proper. Don't fret about not watching Season 5. The only catch is that the last episode, that could be used to close out Season 4 or Season 5 and was meant to be aired after the end of season 4 (if season 5 didn't happen) is not available unless you can find it. It is called 'Sleeping in Light'.
