There was recent (last few years) work done to fix all of this. https://www.modeemi.fi/~leopold/Babylon5/DVD/DVDTransfer.html#210211hd https://www.modeemi.fi/~leopold/Babylon5/DVD/DVDTransfer.htm... I have these versions, and it's world better than everything beforehand. It's also a good opportunity for a re-watch!

A very well written show. It's crazy to think a lot of people don't even get to watch this, because it's so hard to find. I couldn't find it anywhere (except for DVD's) so I had to resort to torrents.

  There's a 4K 4:3 remaster streaming on HBO Max. It wasn't exactly well advertised (certainly not to the extent that it has been hard to miss this Mad Men advertising), but it exists and is a good way to watch the show. Feels a bit less cinematic not being in 16:9, but it looks good other than that because the show was shot to be 4:3 safe (as that was still the most common TV at the time).

    Also a US only thing. Torrents keeping the rest of us alive.

  I loved B5's story, but no remaster is going to fix the cheeseball acting of the show. It felt 200 years old even when it was airing. (Sigh, I'm probably still going to rewatch it...)

    I think Garibaldi was actually quite good. Sheridan was maybe a bit cheesy at times but definitely gave off that vibe of a leader one could follow into battle.

  It's streaming, for free, on Tubi

    Not available outside the US, I think. Torrents are then just more convenient.

      United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, United Kingdom. Parts of Latin America: Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, Puerto Rico. If you want to pirate it, with yt-dlp and the URL, you can download items from the Tubi web site. (Don't ask me how I know.)
