It was the dawn of the third age of mankind. Ten years after the Earth Minbari war. The Babylon project was dream giving form. It's goal to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call. Home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanders. Humans and aliens wrap in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

Fantastic. Too bad the rest of the film collection didn't get a remaster.

Yes, that's a bit of a blow. Will they release a complete complete collection later on?

I hope so. In any case it will be nice to get the full series in HD with less compression than streaming. Oh, and I hope the commentary from the DVDs makes it to the Blu-ray.

Were any of the films good besides In The Beginning? I hated 3rd Space and Call to Arms. I don't remember if I saw River of Souls.

Frankly 3rd space and Call to Arms were my favorites.
