Still the best space opera out there, though there are some worthy contenders (Expanse, Farscape, Stargate).

This bundle includes "The Gathering" which was the original pilot. Some elements changed from what they filmed that to the rest of the series. But I recommend watching it after the first season. Future seasons reference back to it.

There are also "movies" that aren't included, Amazon is the only place I found them available digitally. They are all SD only, and a few of them are in very rough shape. That said they continue the story and you get to see events that the final episode of the series references. There are six total and you can only buy them individually for $1.99/each. If you really like the show, they are worth a watch for the extra content that happens after the original series. Though some do shed new light on backstory on events from the show you only thing you know the full story.

There's also a single season show called Crusade that happens after the main series. It was cancelled after the one season and is left unfinished. It's a shame as its format was more open following the crew of a ship versus space station. So they had more reason to visit different places and explore.

Well worth the cost. I have seen lots of SF down through the years and B5 is my favorite of them all. I fell in love with it when it was first run in syndication. When TBS picked it up for broadcast, I set up my VCR (Remember those?) and manually recorded each episode from S1 to S5. I did backflips when they released DVD box sets one season at a time, of course bought them all. Then last year, when they announced the BR release, I had a preorder in and got it day of release. Watched all the BRs from S1 to S5 in about a month. I have all the movies on DVD, waiting hopefully for a BR release of those someday. There is also a DVD anthology called Lost Tales and a recently released CG movie. I guess you can say I'm a B5 fan. I f you don't want physical media, definitely get this. Worth the price.
B5 provided an engaging arc throughout the series (S5 was not my favorite, but it still upheld the arc). I believe it was the best SF on TV at the time.

I loved when in the late 90s you could buy Babylon 5, Stargate SG-1, and other show/Movie original props, uniforms, etc on Warner Brothers eBay auctions

Is this version "the right one"? There were so many weird things with this canadian sci-fi show. It had TV movies and I can't even remember: but if you saw episode 9 in like season 3 it ruined seasoned 4 or something like that.

From reddit: "Watch the Gathering, then the show all the way through Season 4. After Season 4 but before Season 5 watch In the Beginning. Then watch Season 5. Then Thirdspace, River of Souls, Call to Arms. Then Crusade. Then watch the remaining movies as you see fit. I know many say watch Thirdspace in the middle of Season 4, because the events happen at that time, however, it is told in hindsight and so I say it should be viewed later."

All that being said: It's a sci-fi show absolutely worth watching. It's more of a soap opera set in space, but does cover some topics star trek covers, but star trek usually wraps it up within a single episode.

If Blake's 7 and Dr Who are your thing, this is best thing since Star Wars.
Not Canadian, American.

I'd buy it IF I could easily watch it in HD on my 65" TV.

But this is LIMITED to a PC or XBox, which is a deal breaker for me

You can pretty safely skip all the movies and not miss much.
The Gathering was the original pilot, but several of the actors were replaced before the show started, and the first episode of the show catches you up on the plot. Thirdspace and River of Souls don't really have any important stuff for the overarching plot, and Call to Arms is the setup for the sequel show, Crusade. In the Beginning is a prequel, and is decent but inessential.
The episodes themselves can just be watched in the order they were aired. The only episode that got moved around was the finale of season 4, which got moved to the end of season 5 when they were unexpectedly picked up for a final season.
