BABYLON 5 THE COMPLETE SERIES

Thanks to Warner Bros Home Entertainment for sending this science fiction fan an early Christmas present by giving their favorite Geek Daddy a free box set of Babylon 5: The Complete Series on Blu-ray. I am so GEEKED to binge watch this sci-fi tv show this holiday season! Available now on Blu-ray for the first time ever are all 110 original episodes of the Babylon 5 television series. And each episode has been fully remastered in high definition! 

Babylon 5 is a space opera created by writer and producer J. Michael Straczynski that ran for five seasons from 1994-1998. The critically acclaimed science fiction show debuted in 1993 with the pilot film The Gathering. The series then launched a year later for 110 episodes. Each season corresponded to one year taking place between 2257-2262 in the future. Babylon 5 was the first series to introduce viewers to the concept of a five year story arc with a defined beginning, middle and end.

It is the Earth year 2258. Five hostile federations dominate the outermost regions of space. Heroes, thieves, and exotic beings find refuge in a time of uneasy peace and constant threat of war on a lone space station -- the last and best hope for peace between a hundred worlds, alien and human alike -- Babylon 5.

Babylon 5 stars Bruce Boxleitner, Michael O'Hare, Claudia Christian, Jerry Doyle, Mira Furlan, Andrea Katsulas, Peter Juraski, Richard Biggs, Andrea Thompson, Stephen Furst, Bill Mumy, Tracy Scoggins, Jaspon Carter, Robert Rusler, Jeff Conaway, Patricia Tallman and Mary Kay Adams. In addition to all 110 episodes, Babylon 5: The Complete Series also includes the pilot movie The Gathering. Each of the original episodes from the tv show has a 43 minute runtime.
