I usually watch Babylon 5 every couple of years. I have mostly been following the Lurker's Guide Master Episode List because it includes the TV movies and also makes some minor chronological adjustments.

However I don't follow the Lurker's Guide exactly. Instead of watching Babylon 5: In the Beginning first I like to watch it after season four which is when it originally aired.

I also like to save The Deconstruction of Falling Stars for the very end of the series, as an epilogue to Sleeping in Light.

Sadly I have never made it all the way through Crusade. Maybe next time I'm ready to watch Babylon 5 again I will try starting with Crusade just to mix things up.

Does anyone else try to watch the show in a particular order?

Please note that the Lurker's Guide website is only available via http, your browser might raise an alarm but the site is safe to browse.

Welcome to /c/babylon5!

Babylon 5 is a sci-fi space opera that ran from 1994 to 1999. Pitched as "a five year story, a novel for television," Babylon 5 featured a serialized story before it was common for primetime television to do so.

The serialized nature of Babylon 5 means it is eminently spoilable. If you have not seen Babylon 5 but are interested, you may encounter spoilers here. You've been warned!

Watch Online

Babylon 5 is available on HBO Max.
It can also be purchased on iTunes, Google Play, and YouTube:
