Babylon 5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the show, Babylon 5 is a center of political intrigue and conflict, and eventually takes part in a massive interstellar conflict from which it emerges with a victory over forces of darkness and chaos, albeit at great cost. Babylon 5 is substantially smaller than the previous stations due to budget constraints after the failure of the first four stations. One of the aspects of Babylon 5 was that many of its characters had profound spiritual and/or religious beliefs ("The Parliament of Dreams"). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Babylon_5   (5434 words)

Babylon 5: The Gathering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Babylon 5: The Gathering was the pilot movie of the science fiction television series Babylon 5.

Babylon 5 Series Treatment Review They are rarely released to the public, so this document has significant historical and educational significance to both Babylon 5 fans and those interested in the process of selling a story in Hollywood. He wants Babylon 5 to be a landmark show for science fiction as Dragnet was for cop TV shows. However, watching the evolution of Babylon 5 since before the pilot aired has been an educational experience for many online fans, and this Series Treatment is a historical collector's item. www.worldsofjms.com /b5/reviews/b5treatment.htm   (1128 words)

Movie Info for Babylon 5: The Gathering on MSN Movies This two-part pilot episode for Babylon 5 was originally telecast as a single two-hour TV movie on February 22, 1993 (the "official" release date of March 8 refers to the film's Chicago TV premiere).

THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- BABYLON 5: THE MOVIE COLLECTION THE GATHERING is set in the year 2257, deep in neutral space, on board space station Babylon 5, which was designed to promote a peaceful coexistence between numerous worlds. Unfortunately, the arrival of the ambassador from a mysterious race of aliens known as the Vorlons is marked by an assassination attempt that threatens to destroy Babylon 5 and its mission of peace. However, when the artifact is brought back to Babylon 5 for further study, it begins to have a bizarre effect on the inhabitants of the station and it may hold the key to a deadly secret that exists beyond hyperspace. www.thecinemalaser.com /dvd_2004/b5tmc-dvd.htm   (976 words)

THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- BABYLON 5: THE GATHERING / IN THE BEGINNING Unfortunately, the rumor about BABYLON 5 episodes was untrue and the poor sales figures of Laserdisc and VHS convinced the marketing people at Warner that there would be no point in releasing the series on DVD. After numerous requests for BABYLON 5 episodes on DVD, Warner finally relented and is offering two television movies as a "test case" to garner interest in releasing the entire series. THE GATHERING served as the series pilot, while IN THE BEGINNING came several years later and served to explain much of the back-story in BABYLON 5 universe. www.thecinemalaser.com /dvd2/reviews/babylon-5-tgitb-dvd.htm   (676 words)

Amazon.ca: Babylon 5: The Gathering/In the Beginning (Widescreen): DVD: Richard Compton,Michael Vejar,Michael ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) In spring 1993, a year before the Babylon 5 series was launched, the two-hour movie and series pilot "The Gathering" staked out the initial territory, introducing primary characters (some of whom would never appear again) and sketching the alliances and rifts in interplanetary diplomacy. Today I watched the double-origin of "Babylon 5," although since I finished watched the two made for television movies I discovered that my introduction to the series is decidedly different today than it was when the pilot first aired on February 22, 1993. Those who are or become regular viewers of Babylon 5 may be surprised *just* how much JMS had already planned this storyline, and how much of the pilot was retained or further developed later in the series. www.amazon.ca /Babylon-Gathering-In-Beginning-Widescreen/dp/B00005NTNP   (2436 words)

The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Babylon 5: The Complete First Season (Signs and Portents) The station's predecessor, Babylon 4, vanished mysteriously years ago, yet temporarily re-appears to become a time-shifted linchpin in a cosmic war ("Babylon Squared"). As for extras, perhaps most welcome are the audio commentaries Straczynski recorded for "Signs and Portents" and "Chrysalis." The Making of Babylon 5, hosted by Walter Koenig, is a 19-minute piece shot during the first season with interview clips from cast and crew members, plus a look at the then-high-tech CGI effects. Engaging but not overstaying its welcome, The Universe of Babylon 5 is a three-part guide to the human/alien history and politics behind the weekly dramas, character profiles, and the show's science-fictional technology. www.dvdjournal.com /quickreviews/b/babylon5.season01.q.shtml   (899 words)

Babylon 5: The Gathering/In the Beginning Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net When the "Babylon 5" television series first aired in 1994, pundits probably dismissed as 'just another science fiction series set in space', riding the coattails of "Star Trek: Deep Space 9", which had premiered the year before, and shared a similar space station setting. And though the series still exists in syndication, and an offshoot series, "Babylon 5: Legend of the Rangers", is set to debut in North America in early 2002, many of the series' fans have longed to have the entire 113-episode run in their private collection. Though "The Gathering" is unlikely to impress newcomers to the "Babylon 5" universe, long-time fans will certainly appreciate the nostalgia of watching the pilot again, especially with the foreknowledge of what ends up transpiring during the five-year series arc. www.mediacircus.net /gathering.html   (2192 words)

Babylon 5 Season by Season: Point of No Return Review This title is also the overall title of the show's third season and is emblematic of the events taking place: Babylon 5 secedes from the Earth Alliance and irrevocably commits itself to the Shadow War. Babylon 5 was the first serious attempt to use realistic computer graphics for a television program, and they were rewarded for their efforts with an Emmy for "The Gathering". Dedicated Babylon 5 fans may find the synopses lacking because they are written nonlinearly and occasionally have surprising omissions. www.worldsofjms.com /b5/reviews/season3.htm   (411 words)

Last check: 2007-10-30) It began in the Earth year 2257 with the founding of the last of the Babylon stations, located deep in neutral space.  It was a port of call for refugees, smugglers, businessmen, diplomats and travellers from a hundred worlds. Under the leadership of its final commander Babylon 5 was a dream given form...a dream of a galaxy without war, where species from different worlds could live side by side in mutual respect...a dream that was endangered as never before by one man on a mission of destruction.

Babylon 5: The Gathering - TV.com Under the leadership of its final commander, Babylon 5 was a dream given form. Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. If Thorsen did appear in The Gathering it would be JMS's inside joke to how he slipped the name Babylon 5 into the Captain Power episode Final Stand back when B5 was gestating in Joe's mind for the first time. www.tv.com /babylon-5/the-gathering/episode/25291/summary.html   (936 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Babylon 5: The Gathering [1993]: DVD: Richard Compton,Michael O'Hare,Tamlyn Tomita,Jerry Doyle,Mira ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) Don't get me wrong, "The Gathering" is still a great TV movie, and it's not completely unlike the series - Sinclair and Garibaldi are instantly likeable here, their strong friendship and individual humanity ensure they become characters the audience can relate to, amongst the cacophony of strange aliens. I love Franke’s work on Babylon 5 but this score comes across as a copy and paste job from his episode scores, but then maybe that was the point. If more Babylon 5 DVD’s are released (and I hope there are) Warner must understand that they will only be a success if the transfer quality is to the expected standard. www.amazon.co.uk /Babylon-5-Gathering-Richard-Compton/dp/B00005TNZ1   (1975 words)

Last check: 2007-10-30) Set on a space station in the late 23rd Century, Babylon 5 is a centre of diplomacy and trade, in neutral space located between many rival space empires. It's a thrilling re-telling of the backstory of the Babylon 5 universe, as told by a dying emperor, full of regrets, many years later. Anything that involves Babylon 5 is tops according to me.

(DVD Review) Babylon 5 The Gathering The show centered on a five-mile long space station that was to be a sort of United Nations in space where the races of the galaxy could meet to discuss issues to avoid any future wars. It is great to see the characters from the show in their earlier lives before the show and it helps illustrate how the characters came to be whom they are. While the pilot is not as polished as the series was, and there were casting changes from the pilot to the series, this DVD is a must for fans of the show as well as sci fi. www.yanman.com /HomeTheater/Reviews/Babylon5theGatheringReview.htm   (408 words)

Last check: 2007-10-30) Set on the first anniversary of the Babylon 5 (none of the first four stations survived even a month), the central story involves the attempted assassination of the newly arrived Vorlon, the mysterious Ambassador Kosh, at the hands of (perhaps) Commander Jeffrey Sinclair (Michael O'Hare). This tape of The Gathering is the revised version that Straczynski did especially for TNT, with new music and special effects, several new scenes, and several old scenes deleted.

For anyone who has not seen Babylon 5, "The Gathering" is a reasonable telemovie, but only of strong interest to serious science fiction fans.
