Amazon Instant Prime has the first episode for only $1.99 Try it out:<br />http://www.amazon.com/Points-of-Departure/dp/B000L9J254/ref=sr_1_3?s=instant-video&ie=UTF8&qid=1428031314&sr=1-3&keywords=babylon+5<br /><br />D.G.:<br />I enjoyed the Monster Sci Fi film: ALIEN for excellent way it was played out in suspense and crew interaction.<br /><br />Intangible Heart:<br />I understand. Yet THE LAST SHIP which I talk about later is much better in TV form than the book which gave birth to it.<br /><br />David:<br />Here is the link to Amazon Instant Video where you can try out the first episode of Season 1 or 2 for $1.99:<br />http://www.amazon.com/Points-of-Departure/dp/B000L9J254/ref=sr_1_3?s=instant-video&ie=UTF8&qid=1428031314&sr=1-3&keywords=babylon+5<br /><br />Elephant's Child:<br />We all have our favorite ways to enjoy the tales which entertain us. :-)<br /><br />Holly:<br />Babylon 5 started with its basic story start, middle, and ending already written in detail. FRINGE's seasons evolved according to changing writers, dropping ratings, and studio demands -- no careful laying out of bread crumbs so to speak. :-)Roland D.

It does indeed sound like a complex, realistic story, and having tried my hands at screenplays I am in awe that one man wrote most of the episodes.
