B5 on Amazon Prime

Some extra B5 Streaming Trivia.

Noticed that the 1993 pilot version of The Gathering streaming on Amazon's Prime Video (S1: Bonus) has been replaced with the TNT Special Edition. Also tried looking for "Babylon 5" via Tubi TV and Roku with no results. Looks like (in May 2026) it is not possible to stream B5 for free on either Roku or Tubi.

Has the special edition Gathering been remastered like the rest of the series?

I think none of the 90s tv-movies were ever remastered, other than taking the 4:3 versions and stretching them to 16:9. There was a separate digital release of The Lost Tales in HD, possibly on account of some Xbox-ish collaboration at the time, but everything else seems to be like the original DVD releases. The Gathering (SD 16:9) exists under season one, while the others (ITB, 3rd, RoS, CtA, LotR, TLT) are bundled together as a separate purchase (so far as Amazon goes) under a name like "Babylon 5: The Movies".

Back in the days of 56k bps modems there were once apparently two "virtual tours" for B5 in Quicktime. Found references that the original B5 website allowed a user to "tour the Medlab and the Observation Dome in Quicktime VR". Wonder if those files still exist somewhere.

Hey, I came here specifically to let you know - I found a way to put these on the "modern" web. I am adding them all to my website at https://www.babylon5fans.com/artifacts/quicktime-vr-reborn/. Right now I have medlab and the Zocalo up.

This takes me back! I remember when they launched. How wonderful that you have found a way to offer them again!

Those are brilliant, thank you for sharing! Your whole website is cool, I enjoyed looking through the still photos and interviews. And I'd be very interested in your book, please do keep us updated on how that progresses!
