I will never understand why B5 wasn't a bigger franchise. It is superior in so many ways to other sci-fi. I think if a studio really got behind it and dedicated the resources, B5 could be riding at the top of the recent sci-fi wave.

William Yount I think, if I recall, that they talked about their budget and how they worked in some run down factory warehouse that was converted to a sound stage, so that tells you the Network wasn't so happy to produce the show. I also think that there was some recent talk of doing a Kickstarter and trying to continue the story line, but who know.Thanks for the comment and watching.Please subscribe to our channel!

William Yount I think it was more about the fact that what made it great, made it too complicated for most. As a kid, I watch a few episodes and thought the show was okay, but I was mostly lost as to why characters did what they did. Partly because I only saw a few episodes, but now that I bought the B5 Ultimate Collection as an adult I think the story is very interesting and well done. Its actually strange that the real life ups and downs of some of the actors involved made the story arch much better. Overall, I think B5 was too complicated for kids, is what I am saying.

William Yount Because of its depth, it's the same reason most people in the world are not deep thinkers rather sheep. B5 was for people who loved sci-fi and embraced their "spiritual" ( for lack of a better term ) side. If you see the bigger, more beautiful side of a piece of art, then the minor inconsistencies ( such as production values ) pale in comparison to what is trying to be said. B5 is subtle sci fi embroidering all of the complexities we face in life.

When I was a teenager and watching Babylon 5 when it first came out, I had a huge crush on Lyta Alexander / Patricia Tallman. She had that black zip up top, tall slender figure and classically beautiful face. Now I see her twenty years later and you know what - she's even more beautiful than two decades ago! If I were to have dinner with her I would probably forget to eat.

B5 still IS amazing ... because it is about STORYTELLING and CHARACTERS and not visuals. Sadly they didnt FULLY "follow through" with the whole "being scientific", because B5 and the earth cruisers would have had to have (at least) TWO COUNTER-ROTATING SECTIONS to counteract the momentum and keep the "central section" [cruisers] / "solar sails" [B5] from slowly starting to rotate themselves.

Londo and Vir are my favorite dynamic on the show.

I love this cast and I love this series. Some of the best science fiction ever written.

I believe that sci-fi writers have the ability to get out of their own ways and express deep teachings. B5 is one sci-fi that proves my point to the extreme. Almost every episode had a philosophical point that if caught actually gives a philosophy that can be lived. I say thank you to everyone who brought B5 to us.

This is just wonderful ... I cried like a baby watching the last episode... I can't watch it often unless I want to cry my eyes out:-) It has an absolutely brilliant ending and that shot watching the sunrise is breathtaking!!! I am a huge fan for life!

​@@reepacheirpfirewalker8629 The only show I've seen that has comparable writing is from Tony Gilroy on Andor. He's got mini 3 episode story arcs within the larger story leading up to the Rogue One film about how Leia and the Rebel Alliance got the schematics for the Death Star. Still, of them all, what JMS did with B5 is a morality tale that some favors come with a too high a price and that we truly understand and live by the Preamble of the Declaration of Principles that the Universe speaks in only one voice and that ultimately We are One.

Oh wow, how did I miss this gem? I loved that show so much. All the actors and actresses were so good and is one of my favorites still today. Miss you Babylon 5!

What a tremendous full lineup of guests! Star Trek conventions never have lineups as complete as this. These guys are all great sports! :) The only one missing was Jerry Doyle. (Of course, four of the cast members are sadly no longer with us: Richard Biggs, Andreas Katsulas, Michael O Hare, and Jeff Conaway). Until I watched this I had no idea that B5 was more popular in the UK. (I'm British too.)

I don't find myself drawn to these types of panels for the most part, but THIS would have been amazing to see in person. I also find it amazing that Bruce was taking a photos of the audience as well as the crew.

I first got to know Peter Jurasik from Babylon 5 but then realised later on he played Crom from Tron, one of my favourite films of all time and of course Bruce Boxlighner being in both as well.

I know the sound quality is bad, but it is so good to see the actors as themselves and without the barrier of a desk. I don't think I've ever seen or heard N'toth out of costume before, or Bill Mumy with hair! I recently loaned out my DVD sets to some friends and they've really got into the show. Having fallen in love with it so long ago it seems strange now having friends to discuss it with, but it appears the actors' fondness for it (and one another) has endured. If any of you read these comments: You're characters are still catching peoples' imagination.

JMS's message was almost eerily prescient.

My father looks a bit like Jason Carter, hair, build and beard, I still find it amusing all these years later. Also I am not afraid to admit I cried when Marcus sacrificed himself and when Sheriden went beyond the Rim.

captain Sheridan looks unbelievable for his age.......way to go tron. He can reprise his role if he wanted to. Actually many of them aged very well. I would love a blu-ray release with all the special effects re-done in HD.

Shocking! The crowd did not react when Boxleitner mentioned the two parter (War Without End) one of the best 2 structured scripts (Blink from Dr Who being the other one) featuring Michael O'Hara's return.Truly a mind bowing episode!

2nd B5 convention with lacking stage sound. Feel sorry for the actors, again. As for video audio, that can be enhanced. I did it for another YT video with software. Anyway, thanks for the video, really enjoy seeing this cast together

Words from JMS ring so true in these times now.

Woah, they even had Zoey (Bridget Flanery) from 'Day of the Dead'. She played a powerful role. That's the thing, B5 strived to keep it real. What's more real than a suicidal overdose because a person is tired of starving while being dope-sick. Its easy to judge addicts but to many of them, started casually. They didn't plan on being drafted into the hustle in order to fund their addiction. Some of them really want to stop but doing that results in withdrawal symptoms. Those symptoms include diarrhea coupled with a sense of depression at the minimum.

Great to see them, but the technical MESS that this place created was SO unprofessional. No monitors, no one being able to hear each other, the frustration was obvious and it was very irritating, I felt for the actors trying to control their obvious frustration at the horrible tech support for this show. I would have been furious.
