Oh my goodness, this intro made me cry... :( I bought the new dvd, and i LOVED it, but im so sad now because i miss the whole Babylon 5 univerce... I grew up with it..It changed me, changed the way i think and percieve the world... Hearing the voice of Andreas Katsulas makes me cry almost every time... REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND!!!
I believe that when we leave a place a part of it goes with us and part of us remains. Go anywhere in these halls, when it is quiet and just listen. After a while you will hear the echoes of all of our conversations, every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we are gone, our voices will linger in these walls for as long as this place remains. But I will admit that the part of me that going will very much miss the part of you that is staying.
Ambassador G'Kar: I believe that when we leave a place, part of it goes with us and part of us remains. Go anywhere in the station when it is quiet, and just listen. After a while, you will hear the echoes of all our conversations, every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we are gone, our voices will linger in these walls for as long as this place remains. But I will admit that the part of me that is going will very much miss the part of you that is staying.
Episode 520 - Objects in Motion. Sheridan speaks with G'Kar in his quarters as G'Kar finishes his packing before leaving Babylon 5 w/Lyta. Their exchange while sad had moments of levity. It's a great scene.
I just saw the Lost Tales again after more than a decade. Was it ever intended to be continued? I know The Legend of the Rangers was intended as a pilot that unfortunately never made it.
B5 will allways be my favorite sci-fi show from the childhood! And the best! Hoped there would be more of The Lost Tales, but no.. would love to see Londo again :)
G'Kar delivers the speech with so much feeling, that it just touches the heart. It awakens in everyone the memories of every place we left and we start to listen to our inner voice and hear the echoes of all the words and thoughts exchanged in all the places we once called "home".
For the past few weeks I've been watching the entire Babylon 5 series on DVD. It nearly brings tears to my eyes to see the trailer and intro from The Lost Tales bearing glimpses of this wonderful show not only continued but furthermore in modern CGI.
The actor who play G'Kar (Adreas Katsulas) have also played different characters in Star Trek too, such as the Romulan Tomalak in Star Trek TNG and Vissian Captain in Star Trek Enterprise :) Sad he is dead because he was a good actor, but that was Richard Biggs too, who died early :/
JMS should do a prequel tv movie about the Dilgar War. I want to see how strong Earth Force was back then. Also seeing the Nova Class Dreadnought and the Hyperion in it's prime days.
THAT LOOKS SO AWESOME!!! and for those who cried at the destruction of B5 in 'sleeping in light' you are not alone, I was in FLOODS. and I didn't cry when I saw Titanic...
And I forgot to add that it also included it's own soundtrack from Christopher Franke and I once read in a preview that it was being produced and filmed like a TV movie, like 'A Call To Arms'. There's 90 mins worth of video footage shot specifically for the game. And none of it has ever been released, it sits in a warehouse somewhere. Parts of the soundtrack were eventually released. A shame, imagine what they might be able to do with it now if a studio like Volition had their hands on it? Wow!
You know if they could redo this and use acutual models with CG... it would be incredible. It would do this show so much justice... This really was a brilliant show, and so well written. So well written.
I love the B5 music as well. It took me a while but I have every episode and movie soundtrack CD that was released for B5 and done by Christopher Franke. It's like 20+ discs! Awesome music collection!!
The Lost Tales may have sucked, but the intro just dazzles me every time. I recall the first time I watched it I shouted "oh crap, they brought back Chris! YES!"
This is a lovely tribute to the 5 years of this underrated show. From the first lines by Molari in the pilot "I was there in the beginning" to the montage of the final original episode, B5 deserves to be given reconsideration.
When I was told of Andreas death I cryed. He was a good man and one of the most well know Sci-Fi actors ever to live. His voice will linger on in my life forever.
The B5 story ark was first worked out in 1988 and MJS spent years taking the idea around diffrent studios. Then out of the blue the star trek people come up with the idea for DS9. When the B5 stary ark really kicked it DS9 started to do the same. The diffrence. B5 new where it was going. DS9 made it up as they went along.
I can't believe that they are remaking B5. JMS spoke about it at comicon. It just won't be the same without the original actors, some of which have passed beyond the vale.
To begin with I am a fan of Bab 5, Star trek, and star wars. But I must point out that DS9 was created when JMS pitched the B5 idea that he had been working on since 1988 to foundation. JMS quickly left once he was horrified on how foundation took all the work that was done and turned it into a ST sequel. So he left and got funding elsewhere. This way we got two great shows off the same pitch. Made me happy :)
When I started watching the dvd and heard Andreas start talking it just made me cry. With Sleeping in Light it was the same, almost the entire episode made me cry. No matter how hard I try I always do when I watch it.
Great opening session, moving thanks to the use of G'Kar last speech with Sheridan and of the most tragic moment of the 5th season ... great done Mister JMS
Roy CyberPunk tnt won't release the rights and Michael J said if he can't do a full film and actually get a budget he won't make another Babylon 5 story arc.
If ever the show were rebooted, this should be its theme. B5 had a profound depth that you appreciate more on re-watching. Londo and G'Kar especially became emotionally complex characters.
The CGI in TLT was absolutely stunning and uber-detailed! Just the re-animation of the station exploding was beautiful, then the piano of "Dying Station" from Sleeping in light was well done...and the people with their worlds was EXTREMELY Cool, especially Delenn/Minbar and Kosh/Vorlon.
Terrific overture ... Christopher Franke updated his now classical "Sleeping in Light : Dying Station" piece of music ... the whole thing is great. Hope JMS'd produce more soon or later before all the main characters go beyond the Rim .... anyway 10/10
I found the movie to be rather awesome. It was one of the best of the B5 movies, actually. I hope there are going to be more Lost Tales movies as Straczynski had planned. I especially loved how in this movie they mentioned that the actors of Franklin and G'Kar are dead. "Franklin joined G'Kar on his travels, they both passed beyond the rim." Beautiful.
Ivanova didn't die; she was just written out: She became commander of brand new Warlock-class destroyer called Titans. In that last episode (Season 5, episode 22) you can see her 20 years after main events. She's general then.
I love the Remix... the voice of Gkar to remember him forever... and the first time i saw b5 exploding in the season 5 i cried =( ... BUt the Story now... will continue...
@Usul573 Babylon 5 doesn't need any re-imagining because the myth of Babylon 5 is great as it is, but if they do decide to make the movie, I think they should only concentrate on the rise and fall of Londo Mollari, the Shadow war, and the mission to bring down President Clark. I also like to see the story arc of Commander Jeffrey Sinclair the way it was originally intended.
Like Gedairion, I too cried at the end of that episode. After all, the whole 5 seasons of B5 had made me feel like the crew of the station would be my dear friends and now we had to part, each in his / her own way. Have to say that Franke really captures the music for each scene very well, long live Babylon 5!
@Antenox Regarding G'Kar, after the actress who played Na'Toth was written out (again), JMS toyed with the idea of making G'Kar's aide into a "Murphy Brown's secretary" kind of role where you'd have a series of aides, each eventually coming to unfortunate ends (like G'Kar's original aide Ko'Dath). Eventually he decided not to do this and decided he liked the idea of G'Kar essentially being alone much of the time (especially after the fall of Narn).
This was a great intro, but the movie itself could've been so much more. Anyone who watched this movie who hadn't seen B5 would've been like "Who's narrating? Who were all those other people at the beginning?" It seemed to be a plug for the series more than its own movie.They could've explored other stuff too. Anyone who's watched the show, especially the 4th season, will recall that Ivanova left B5 thinking that Garibaldi was a traitor! Her last words about him were "I want that son of a bitch shot on sight." They could've done a short story where they patched things up, instead of leaving it unresolved the way they did. Not a terrible movie, but too many missed opportunities.
+Alex Palmer More Movie/Episodes had been planned but sadly, never happend. and while it has nothing directly to do with it, I'd wish i would find Babylon 5 somewhere hidden in the Galaxy of Elite Dangerous (currently playing) :D
Imo, it's great that they didnt spoonfeed just to 'target new audiences'. While that might be a priority for you, there's no point in trying to do that with a series that ran for 100+ episodes and a couple movies, and it would have been both deeply impractical in a storytelling sense, and boring as hell to existing fans. Too many franchises try doing that, and it ends up being a cheap snoozefest.
Sad thing is now that andreas katsulas and richard biggs have died, B5 will never, ever, be what it used to be...so i say, let the lost tales rest, and be published in book form, this way g'kar and dr. franklin will be withus on theese journeys....
Babylon 5 should be made into a movie. If Star Trek and The X-Files are big screen worthy than why not one of the best sci-fi series ever made and winner of two Hugo awards back to back should get the feature film treatment. They should make the movie the same way that Peter Jackson did with Lord Of The Rings and with the special effects we have today it will be mind blowing.
Well in the UK on channel FX they ran all the old series in their original state and just finished playing all the series and ending it by showing all the movies, usually when that happens over here they plan on bringing it back, even with the actors that play G'kar and franklin passed away there's so much of the B5 series that can be done, like for example the telepath wars/ Earth breaking away from the alliance/Earth got turned back into a pre-space faring civilization
I'm a Star Trek and Babylon 5 fan. What i want to say is that shows like these are rarely made, if hardly. Now you have shows with no brains, no morals, only shot'em up storylines. I like the golden age of sci-fi!
That game, Babylon5: Into The Fire, was never released. Sierra was supposed to release it. When Sierra went under, a division split off and there was an effort to get it finished in a new studio but then WB wouldn't release the assets...then they would but 'Sector14', the studio, couldn't get enough funding, so it was dropped. There's TONS of B5 footage made just for the game that people will NEVER see and I'm STILL mad about it! It would have been an amazing space combat simulator...
Some of the music that Christopher Franke made for the game is in one of the B5 soundtrack music CDs that were released. I forget which one but I know I have it as I have the entire 20+ CD B5 episode music collection myself.
It's a shame The Lost Tales wasn't given a bigger budget. The effects used in it were super outdated and cheap even for the time it released, and the stories don't do a great deal to expand the mythos
I reckon there will be a fan remake of the effects one day. But it's a shame the studio doesn't fund it now. The story and acting were (almost always) superb and shot on 35mm. Updated and reimagined fx shots would bring the series back to a whole new generation. I don't need a reimagined post-GOT and Battlestar 'edgy' version where Garibaldi is a pedophile, Ivanova self-harms and Bester is transgender. No thanks. Updating the fx would be cheap compared to a remake and i bet it would net the studio $$$.
@Fuzzyfoot88 A remake of the show is in progress, for better and more stunning graphics and effects. The first series are planned for spring 2012. Hope it will really happen.
Yeah, i love the fact that JMS had the idea to finally show us Vorlon when he knew it might be the last B5 story... I think we may have seen it one time before though, in the flash back of Talia being picked up by the vorlons
Sad :/ Micheal O'Hare is dead too :/ He was only 60 years old, but Richard Biggs was only 44 when he died of heart problems in 2004 :/ Yes, I mean the actor who played Dr. Stephen Franklin :) I have watched all the Babylon 5 series on TV and movies :) Good to know there is websites, where we can get them all hehe
It would be cool to have G'kar in the Crusade remake, BUT, filling the shoes of the late andreas katsulas, who played G'kar, are shoes no one could ever fill.
That's true. Having seen him on other shows it became apparent that only the creator and writers of Babylon 5 had any concept of just how good of an actor they had at their disposal.
Thats a nice intro , esp the part with andreas speech , that was one of my favorite dialogs from the series . another lost tales might be difficult without some of the actors lost . they might be able to pull off a new arc from the last season . thats possible . but seeing how well rangers did hmm thats prob why we have havent seen anything new . B5 had a hard enough time finding networks to show it , god it bounced around a while . I keep writing scifi to rerun the original B5 series .
Heh, somehow after 0:50 the sequence makes me imagine a Babylon 5 MMO, in a selection screen where you'd be choosing which race you want to play as (except maybe for the vorlons..) Oh, if something like that only existed.. I'd be all over it. :)
![[DOKKAN BATTLE] Worldwide Campaign Announcement Video](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zxfEiMksZQs/mqdefault.jpg)
A magnificent intro. And the late Andreas Katsulas' voiceover made this music brilliant!
I can never go through the station scuttling sequence without tearing up.
They shouldn't have blown it up. It was The Final Refuge For Dreans, And Our Last Best Hope For Peace.
It made me cry the music was so sad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Welcome to a rather large club, Tounushi
Just s has a thought. Without the station. There’s no reason for anyone to visit the system... what happens to poor Drall down on the planet!
Indeed and hearing Katsula's voice (G'Kar) equally tears me up as well, some of those actors are starting to die off.
Nobody's opening credits and music can touch those of B5. My favourite show of all time!
As it is mine...
Oh my goodness, this intro made me cry... :( I bought the new dvd, and i LOVED it, but im so sad now because i miss the whole Babylon 5 univerce... I grew up with it..It changed me, changed the way i think and percieve the world...

Babylon 5 is so underrated, great writing
Also, thanks for transcribing for us non-english speakers
@@nitinudapi3752 You know I hope Lyta found herself on her adventures with G'Kar.
When I saw this opening after all those years, it had a real impact on me. So many memories. Great intro. A shame they didn't continue Lost Tales.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I just saw the Lost Tales again after more than a decade. Was it ever intended to be continued? I know The Legend of the Rangers was intended as a pilot that unfortunately never made it.
@@jamesaron1967 Yes there was up 6 stories plan, only 2 were ever made. The JS said he needed for money for the other more ambitious stories.
@@DavidKnowles0 Too bad, looks like money was always a problem for JS.

B5 will allways be my favorite sci-fi show from the childhood! And the best!

One of the finest speeches in SciFi

its things like this that keep that voice in there here and now ... its a shame that others do not have that luxuary ... RIP Andreas
goosebumps...
every time...
I can’t help but think about the fact that so many of these folks are no longer with us.
And 2021 took the next from us. So many of them so long before their time.
JMS should do a prequel tv movie about the Dilgar War. I want to see how strong Earth Force was back then. Also seeing the Nova Class Dreadnought and the Hyperion in it's prime days.
That would be awesome as it would also show where the arrogance that got them into so much trouble with the Minbari came from.
keep having the same thoughts... but really go deep... and wide... got a whole playground
THAT LOOKS SO AWESOME!!!
and for those who cried at the destruction of B5 in 'sleeping in light' you are not alone, I was in FLOODS.
and I didn't cry when I saw Titanic...
Imagine how even more awesome the series would be if they went back and updated all of the effects with those like in Lost Tales. Powerful stuff here!
Andreas Katsulas also played the one-armed man in "The Fugitive". The more you know. :)
And I forgot to add that it also included it's own soundtrack from Christopher Franke and I once read in a preview that it was being produced and filmed like a TV movie, like 'A Call To Arms'. There's 90 mins worth of video footage shot specifically for the game. And none of it has ever been released, it sits in a warehouse somewhere. Parts of the soundtrack were eventually released.

Where is this music?
Can't wait to see it. G'kar's voice is still impresive. The music is just perfect for the presentation of the Home-worlds.
May Babylon 5 live forever, as it deserves.
The Lost Tales may have sucked, but the intro just dazzles me every time. I recall the first time I watched it I shouted "oh crap, they brought back Chris! YES!"
This is a lovely tribute to the 5 years of this underrated show. From the first lines by Molari in the pilot "I was there in the beginning" to the montage of the final original episode, B5 deserves to be given reconsideration.
Sucks that we didn't get more "Tales" before so many of the actors died.
Echoes of all our conversations...
When I was told of Andreas death I cryed.
He was a good man and one of the most well know Sci-Fi actors ever to live.
His voice will linger on in my life forever.
G'kar, doc, and Zack, rest in peace:)

1:13 i get goosebumps when the baritone chorus kicks in.
"go anywhere in the station" that is. but yes.. epic quote from G'Kar.
I still wish B5 got a HD remake
with CGI bits brought up to the 2018 standarts
To begin with I am a fan of Bab 5, Star trek, and star wars.
But I must point out that DS9 was created when JMS pitched the B5 idea that he had been working on since 1988 to foundation. JMS quickly left once he was horrified on how foundation took all the work that was done and turned it into a ST sequel. So he left and got funding elsewhere.

BEST INTRO EVER!!! B5 will never die.
I still remember watching the series as a kid. I would sneak away from family dinners to watch B5 and DS9 when they ran them back to back.
Michael O'Hare too. 1952-2012.
Great opening session, moving thanks to the use of G'Kar last speech with Sheridan and of the most tragic moment of the 5th season ... great done Mister JMS
Mira Furlan RIP 2020
They shoud reboot this show into a big screen franchise.
www.tvwise.co.uk/2014/08/babylon-5-movie-eyes-2016-production-start/
Daniel Orrett I know I'm stocked! :)
Roy CyberPunk THey should also include a show aswell
Roy CyberPunk tnt won't release the rights and Michael J said if he can't do a full film and actually get a budget he won't make another Babylon 5 story arc.
Fred Maxwell they announced or rather he announced he was making a reboot that was last year though.

yea, I looked at some of the episodes they wopuld have made (like the season finally) and was blown away.
Can't wait 2 get this 1 on DVD. Looking 4ward 2 c-ing all my fave characters back where they belong.
Terrific overture ... Christopher Franke updated his now classical "Sleeping in Light : Dying Station" piece of music ... the whole thing is great. Hope JMS'd produce more soon or later before all the main characters go beyond the Rim .... anyway 10/10
This is the original head-banging music! It's thunderous sound is uncontainable!
I found the movie to be rather awesome. It was one of the best of the B5 movies, actually. I hope there are going to be more Lost Tales movies as Straczynski had planned. I especially loved how in this movie they mentioned that the actors of Franklin and G'Kar are dead. "Franklin joined G'Kar on his travels, they both passed beyond the rim."

Hello ShadowLite, thanks for the videos
Man G'Kar was my favorite character. Andreas Katsulas was an excellent actor.
They need to get another series up and running asap great universe, great story, and SPACE BATTLES!
it's an ace franchise, and you have to love what they've done with the graphics.
BRING ON THE VORLONS
I love the Remix... the voice of Gkar to remember him forever... and the first time i saw b5 exploding in the season 5 i cried =( ... BUt the Story now... will continue...
We need a far longer symphonic score based on this theme :)
Powerful music by Christopher Franke. Bad-ass indeed!
@Usul573 Babylon 5 doesn't need any re-imagining because the myth of Babylon 5 is great as it is, but if they do decide to make the movie, I think they should only concentrate on the rise and fall of Londo Mollari, the Shadow war, and the mission to bring down President Clark.

nothing ever could.
Babylon 5 was a monument of Science Fiction
I guess you don't go into what it means...... you just go for the action. As a pastor's son, I've always admired the way B5 has portrayed faith.
(cries)
Beautiful
@Antenox Regarding G'Kar, after the actress who played Na'Toth was written out (again), JMS toyed with the idea of making G'Kar's aide into a "Murphy Brown's secretary" kind of role where you'd have a series of aides, each eventually coming to unfortunate ends (like G'Kar's original aide Ko'Dath).

Each and every image of this intro is worthy of a wall sized poster.
You said it. I wish they'd both release the original series in HD and bring out a decent computer game of life on B5.
Anyone here after the news Mira Furlan passed away?
Babylon 5 should be made into a movie. If Star Trek and The X-Files are big screen worthy than why not one of the best sci-fi series ever made and winner of two Hugo awards back to back should get the feature film treatment. They should make the movie the same way that Peter Jackson did with Lord Of The Rings and with the special effects we have today it will be mind blowing.
Fantastic!
Would love to see something on the Telepath War since all the main characters needed for that one are still alive. Bester, Garabaldi & Alexander

This is imortal!!Great music!!!
no youre not a nerd!! youre a sophisticated person with apreciation for real beauty :) (i felt the same way about Delenn and Lenier- intense!! :) )
I'm a Star Trek and Babylon 5 fan. What i want to say is that shows like these are rarely made, if hardly. Now you have shows with no brains, no morals, only shot'em up storylines. I like the golden age of sci-fi!

Yes, it's been out for a very long time.
I reckon there will be a fan remake of the effects one day. But it's a shame the studio doesn't fund it now. The story and acting were (almost always) superb and shot on 35mm. Updated and reimagined fx shots would bring the series back to a whole new generation. I don't need a reimagined post-GOT and Battlestar 'edgy' version where Garibaldi is a pedophile, Ivanova self-harms and Bester is transgender. No thanks. Updating the fx would be cheap compared to a remake and i bet it would net the studio $$$.
The love story between Ivanova and Talia was edgy enough, even for today's fickle audiences.
I love this intro, but I always think that Ivanova and Zack should have been in it, too.

A remake of the show is in progress, for better and more stunning graphics and effects. The first series are planned for spring 2012. Hope it will really happen.
Yeah, i love the fact that JMS had the idea to finally show us Vorlon when he knew it might be the last B5 story... I think we may have seen it one time before though, in the flash back of Talia being picked up by the vorlons
Sad :/ Micheal O'Hare is dead too :/ He was only 60 years old, but Richard Biggs was only 44 when he died of heart problems in 2004 :/ Yes, I mean the actor who played Dr. Stephen Franklin :) I have watched all the Babylon 5 series on TV and movies :) Good to know there is websites, where we can get them all hehe
It would be cool to have G'kar in the Crusade remake, BUT, filling the shoes of the late andreas katsulas, who played G'kar, are shoes no one could ever fill.
That's true. Having seen him on other shows it became apparent that only the creator and writers of Babylon 5 had any concept of just how good of an actor they had at their disposal.
Yes it did. 2008 or so, if memory serves right.
Dear JMS, please give us diehard fans what we really wanna see: what becomes of Londo and Vir. Time for some visual closure.
Cheers.
Just great
I'm in love with the intro music. The music KICKS ASS!!!!
Thats a nice intro , esp the part with andreas speech , that was one of my favorite dialogs from the series .
another lost tales might be difficult without some of the actors lost . they might be able to pull off a new arc from the last season . thats possible . but seeing how well rangers did hmm thats prob why we have havent seen anything new . B5 had a hard enough time finding networks to show it , god it bounced around a while . I keep writing scifi to rerun the original B5 series .
Heh, somehow after 0:50 the sequence makes me imagine a Babylon 5 MMO, in a selection screen where you'd be choosing which race you want to play as (except maybe for the vorlons..) Oh, if something like that only existed.. I'd be all over it. :)
I wish they would have kept The Lost Tales going. There's just something about the B5 franchise that won't allow it to continue or be re-launched.
The quailty of the Lost Tales Intro picture on youtube does not do it justice!
Buy the dvd and you'll know what I mean. The detail.
❤❤❤
Love this intro! I do miss Na'toth in it though, and Ivanova now I think of it.. and Ulkesh..
