Page 1 of Babylon 5: TheComplete Universe £80.97

I think that there was an older thread about a B5 boxed set a while ago but as I couldn't find it, here we go:

Babylon 5 : The Complete Universe over at Amazon.co.uk for £80.97

This is the entire output from the B5 universe, including the 6 movies and the Crusade series.

You can still order for Christmas if you`re quick!!

Damn you Peugeot 406 cambelt change, no pennies left in the kitty, I wonder how much for one of the kids……… ;)

Thanks to Hotdeals for the heads up.

Damn shame I already have the complete series. :(



I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

Todays goal is to exceed yesterdays record level of totally unverifable productivity.

They say that travel broadens the mind - The Nazi`s travelled right through Europe & they were pretty narrow minded.

Another thanks to the OP! Have dipped into this series now and again - now`s the time to the bullet and watch it properly.

Great spot!

I got the super tin one for about 60 quid in January. Still haven`t watched any of it yet.

woo hoo... arrived this morning thanks again Op.

Just watched the final episode of series 5 last night - it`s been compelling viewing over the last two months and this is a great price.

Can`t wait for the release of `The Lost Tales` later this year.

Glad you got one Marksparks :) .
As I said, despite being a fan of B5 from the first episode, I had to pass it up as money earmarked for cam belt change on OH car. :( .
Christmas day, going to sisters for dinner when my Mundaneo threw a wobbly in the cam belt area (possible idler/tensioner, belt OK). Oh dear, how much will that be. >:(
Ho hum.

A good job I ordered this a few days ago at 80.97 and it turned up this morning, because when I went to check Amazon UK today, the set is now 119.99 quid! So it`s now 50% more expensive if you didn`t order before today..

BTW, anyone got a tip as to the exact viewing order of the 6 standalone movies they supply (i.e. relative to the 5 seasons of Babylon 5 and the Crusade season)? There`s no "instructions" with the box set as to which order you view the 6 movies in!

Update: Thanks for the responses in this thread, but a bit of Googling found this and also this, which both seem to be in close agreement except for maybe "In The Beginning" (and complex enough that it`s not surprising viewing order instructions aren`t in the box set!). I think I`ll create a viewing order list from those pages and slip it in with the box set so I don`t forget...

I guess you could watch `The Gathering` first as it was the original pilot; that said it`s very much a work-in-progress and some of the script gets re-used in a season 1 episode so you could just watch seasons 1-5 and then start on the films. If you did that the order would be -

B5 Seasons 1-5
The Gathering
In The Beginning
Thirdspace
The River of Souls
A Call to Arms
Crusade season 1
The Legend of the Rangers (To Live and Die in Starlight)

[edit] Just had a look at Rassilons viewing order and the only one I`d query is In The Beginning - certainly watch it first if you want to know what is happening from the start; personally I think the charm of B5 is that it is one evolving story so that something that happens in season 1 may only make sense of have significance in season 3, so maybe watching In The Beginning first would spoil some of the suspense.
