| "I was there at the dawn of the third age of mankind.
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. It could be a dangerous place, but we accepted the risks because 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. Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. This is its story". - Ambassador Londo Mollari "The Gathering" |
So begins what is probably the best modern science-fiction TV series - Babylon 5. Written by J. Michael Straczynski, the story is set in a five mile long space station in the years 2258 to 2263 - and beyond.
Unlike most Tv series, Babylon 5 is a single story, with a beginning, middle and end. Each episode is complete and enjoyable on its own, but is also part of a larger whole, a chapter in a five-year-long novel for television. Yet each episode seems to be linked to every other episode, in ways that echo back and forth throughout the entire story.
I don't have the resources to make a complete Babylon 5 page that would be a vast undertaking. So I have attempted to cover some aspects of the story and the show that are of interest to me and to present it in my own way. Along the journey I will point you to other resources on the Web that can help fill in the gaps.
To speed up the download time most images are small .gif or .jpg files. Larger images will have a link of their own on the Navigation Menu. I have put links at the bottom of every page and in some cases at the top to allow you to navigate the site with ease. The starting point is the main Navigation Menu below - all pages link back to it. Like all good sites this one will be updated regularly - and yes I am open to comments and suggestions on how to improve it. It won't happen immediatley, but I WILL answer.
Well here's my page, so let me invite you to join me for an Evening Onboard Babylon 5.
| "There are moments
in your life when everything crystallizes. When the whole world reshapes
itself right down to its component molecules, and everything
changes. I have looked upon the face of a Vorlon...and nothing is the same anymore". ---Dr. Benjamin Kyle "The Gathering": Special Edition |

This page was put together on an old 386 computer, using Aolpress HTML editor,
consequently most of the coding was done by hand. I am now the proud owner
of a very modern computer, and although I use (at times) a very modern HTML
Editor, I still use the old Aolpress Editor. A great deal of information
used on this site was gathered from The
Lurkers Guide at Midwinter, and also from the Babylon 5 Encyclopedia.
But most of the information came from watching each episode a least three
times and taking notes.
