Babylon 5 DVD's
I bought the complete series after receiving Season One as a gift. I was very disappointed with the quality of the series' DVD's compared to the Season One. Some parts of the disks would not even work on my DVD players. I would look elsewhere to purchase any other DVD's in the future.

Babylon 5: a winner!
This set of the complete 5 year run of Babylon 5 is an excellent bargain. It is also a prime example of the kind of quality shows (sci-fi, comedy, drama, etc. ensemble shows of ALL genres) that have basically disappeared from TV since the influx of "reality shows" and the morons who are desperate to get their face on tv for minimal wages (as well as the morons who watch them) have made it easy to make big bucks with no quality of writing or production values. (I strongly feel that the "reality shows" are the most UNreal shows on tv.) <br /> <br />This 5 year arc of an amazingly written show that has intricate plot lines (and needs attention to the many details that seem minor, but become important in later episodes) is best seen with ALL the discs (I also purchased "In the Beginning" and "The Gathering" -- prequel and pilot) and an orgy of watching B5 all in a row, all at once -- to completely see the artistry of the show, from writing (the MOST important part of ANY show), SFX, acting and all-over quality of the production. This is a quality show and I highly recommend purchasing the well-priced set.

Great Series - Great Collection
A truly great, well thought-out story. I never saw this when it aired but I have to admit I am glad I took the plunge getting this set. <br /> <br />If you're new like I was, start with the pilot, but don't worry, the writing and acting get stronger each season. The director (others refer to him as JMS) makes apologies in his commentary for the low-quality work on that episode. IMHO they got rid of most of the weak actors at the onset of season 1. The storyline got stronger as the series progressed with strong arcs and very nicely weaving together of multiple threads. Stick with it and you will be rewarded - very worthwhile viewing. <br /> <br />As far as the physical aspects of the product, one of the four DVD cases had the spine break. The DVD's are still held by the disk holder (technical term for the thingy with the button in the center you pop the disc out of), but the disc holders slip around inside the case like loose leaf sheets. DVD were still protected and played flawlessly. Not a lot of extras on the DVDs. They skimped on that. <br /> <br />Overall, definite must have for any sci-fi aficionado.
