B5 Episodes on Official YouTube Channel

[Kyehlar]

Since the beginning of August, the Official Babylon 5 YouTube Channel has been showing full episodes starting from The Gathering. As of this posting, the most recent episode posted is S01E16 "Eyes".

I'm told from another board that the videos aren't available in Scotland, so these may not be available outside of the US/North America. YMMV.

I'd been contemplating another rewatch, and this is providing a wonderful opportunity. It seems to be the remastered episodes from the Blu-Ray release, at the 4:3 aspect. If you need another reason to do a rewatch (and you're in viewing range), here's your opportunity!

Yeah, we can't see them in the UK, probably because it is currently being broadcast weekdays on the Legend channel. They did upload a few episodes earlier in the year that we could watch in the UK, but they got taken down.

I wonder how it affects sales of the Blu-ray?

Cant watch them in Sweden either. So very annoying. Good to see JMS again though.

I really wish y'all could see it outside of NA. It's like watching it when it first aired again, having to wait for the next episode to air on TV.

The JMS/Bruce conversation is now up on YouTube, it's split into three parts.

And good news! It's available outside the US too (well, it's available in the UK, I assume elsewhere too)

Nothing groundbreaking, but a fun conversation between them nonetheless and some interesting reminiscing on Sleeping in Light from Bruce.

Glad to hear they're viewable outside the US. When asked on his twitter whether they would be, he replied "VPN Fixes It". Glad folks don't have to go through those lengths.

Finally made time to watch them this weekend. It was great. Can't wait to see what they come up with next. Also glad most of what I've seen in the episodes looks fairly decent on YouTube.

Even when it doesn't, I've been watching them mostly on my tablet while gaming. It gives a retro feel, like watching them for the first time again in the 90's.

Yay! Got to watch the interview now

It's nice. I have a VPN as standard practice. I have watched one or two episodes here and there. I struggle a bit with rewatching B5 now. It doesn't grab me as much anymore and its harder to get past the low budget / hammy acting. Still some gems in there, but just doesn't resonate the same way it used to (for me).

Sorry to hear it. It still grabs me every time. I just watched HUNTER PREY while I was doing some other things. The other things did not get done well because I kept getting distracted by the episode. I do think a key reason I get hooked now is because the visual quality of the material keeps seeming better and, as I mention awhile ago, watching with headphones has really brought a whole other level to the show for me that I wasn't hearing before.

I noticed that I have started categorizing episodes in my mind in terms of, "Can I watch this one and not have to watch the next one immediately." Needless to say I have not been watching much from Season 3 and 4, and even Season 5. For some crazy reason the episodes from those seasons just draw me more to the next episode. I think the reason Season 5 has that effect on me is it is definitely the Season I have watched the least over time. Season 1 and 2 I've seen nearly to the point of memorization, but Season 5 is the Season I've only watched through maybe four or five times in all of these many years.
