I just noticed that the complete five year run of Babylon 5 along with Crusade and *most* of the movies (doesn’t include “Legend of the Rangers,” which… is just as well) is available on DVD for a fairly reasonable price on Amazon.

 

Sad to say, but DVD is probably as good as Babylon 5 is going to get. To do Blue ray they’d have to completely redo the CGI visual effects, and there are two problems with that:

1: It’d cost a whole lot of money

2: A whole lot of the original CAD models for the various spacecraft have been lost. Sounds nuts, but it’s apparently true.

One option might be for amateurs to redo the scenes as a labor of love. You *know* there are enough fans out there with the skills to do it, but it’d be wholly unofficial. And getting hold of the live action footage in high rez might be problematic.
