13 years later, when most younger people have never even heard of Babylon 5, this still stands. My nephew introduced me to not only Babylon 5, but WarCraft and StarCraft back in the 90s. Phenomenal.
The amount of time this guy spent on synchronizing the scenes to the music alone deserves 1 billion likes
made 25 years ago on what is today antique computers and it STILL looks better than some of the shows today.

B5 Battles were realistic, the sight of Star Furys dropping like Tie Fighters in to empty space before launching was awesome. The ship designs very original and diverse.
That moment where the vree ship is laser machine gunning down all those shadow fighters never gets old.
Not laser. Vree used antimater gun.
... and one goes off out of control and takes out a Minbari ship (from memory).
Khorne Sith may be right about it being antimatter rather than laser, but that still doesn't make it any less epic. The weapon shreds them as if they were paper and it's absolutely amazing
When I was too young to understand the intricacies of the plot and character developments, I loved watching the fights and battles and shiny explosions. I would have absolutely loved this video back then. Now, I understand exactly what's going on in each episode and scene and I still love watching the shiny explosions. It just means much much more. Seriously an amazing show, it set the bar high for sci-fi and television in general, plus it continues to do so.
Magi cCola I was little when I saw this as well. I could understand about 20% of anything that did not involve explosions. But it is an amazing show. Totally amazing.
You guys are not alone. :-)
+Magi cCola So true. Every snippet I see in this montage sparks memories of all the events that led to those snippets. The memorable speeches, quotes and the causes and consequences of it all.
Thanks JMS!
This show redefined what science fiction should be.
By far the best in sci-fi before or after I haven’t seen a show this complete sense
Babylon 5 was one of the best series I ever watched. Brilliant, epic story and excellent actors. To produce such graphics 20 years ago was extremely complex and expensive.
There are not so many good videos out there to show all the beauty of B5 space battles. StarTrek, SG, BSG - yes, but not B5.
Amazing compilation to pay tribute to an amazing show.
good news read what i wrote on top of your post
hands down the greatest science fiction saga the world has ever seen,this awesome vid compelled me to watch it all over again, thank's. : )
BTW the editing and music selection is brilliant, master of shadows and black blade, TSFH ROCKS! XO
Naughty Narn Agreed! I really got into the story and cared about the characters. B5 was definitely special....
The Expanse is a close competitor but B5 is still nr 1
Wish they'd re release it.
Love this montage so well done and edited together with a fantastic choice of music to accompany. B5 was a truly epic show , love all the ship designs most especially the Earthforce cruisers with the rotating central column ( probably not very practical but damn it looks so cool ) and of course the fantastically designed shadow ships which look so creepy and menacing , organic ships is a
Pretty old concept in Sci fi but B5 did a really amazing job realising this concept and bringing it to the small screen along with the Vorlon ships they did a fantastic job with this .
My sister (who isn't even a science fiction fan), tried to get me to watch this, but I never did. After watching this, I feel the need to call her and apologize for scoffing at her suggestion.
Proof that B5 stands solidly with the very best in the battles it portrayed.
Nice selection of accompanying music btw!
By far the best in sci-fi before or after I haven’t seen a show this complete sense
God I miss this show so much
you can get all five seasons on amazon for like seventy bucks.
So do I
Definitely a favorite sci-fi show for me... I wouldn't mind returning to the universe of B5 again. Used to watch it with my granny, so it's a special show for me for that reason, too. The ship designs are amazing, beautiful, and seeing them in modern graphics would rock!
I have to dig up my B5 DVD:s now!
A great sci fi series that all fans of the genre should watch.
TNG? You probably wanted to say TOS, right?
Anti Phase TNG got an HD remaster as well.
even if i'm a great fan of Star Trek and BSG, B5 is still my favorite Sci-fi series. Each year i watch the whole series and still enjoying it !
7:06, loved how the Nova direktly rammed into the Sharlin, coming out of the other site nearly without a scratch!
Late reply but in the show, both ships were comletely obliterated from the collision.
i've only just finished watching the whole series of B5 on DVD. It's worth starting again - a brilliant series.
the absolute highlight of science fiction.
atleast one marathon of it every year.
Forget Star Trek ... This is the best SciFi serie EVER !!!!!!!!!
While I’m a huge Expanse fan, B5 was one of the first that had fairly realistic space battles. The Human ships look realistic and something we would actually design and build.
A friend of mine who is a massive Expanse fan highly recommended it saying it really reminded him of B5 - which we both loved and after watching the amazing Expanse I can totally see why .
JMS and his team, and the acting team, believed in the story that was Babylon 5. They fought tooth and nail to tell it. It is miracle that they succeeded. I don't think it would happen today.
I remember watching this montage years ago, and man the music fits for each scene.
Here in 2020 visiting this again, saw it ages ago when i was still in school, and is still one of the best space battle compilations I have ever seen, music is beyond epic, and the battles feel so chaotic and seem to blend together like one massive conflict. well done, very well done.
I thought I was the only one who still revisited his channel 😊
@@shadowvessel Nope,and here i am again hehe.
@@Steampunkrat12 I wish I knew where he's been
@@shadowvessel You're definitely not!
@@DeluminatusGM Hells yeah 🤘
No matter how many times I watch this, I still get a charge out of it!
THIS. WAS. FANTASTIC.
I will use it as a recruiting tool in my campaign to get more people to watch this brilliant show! :D
A long time fan of Sci-fy I fell in love with this series. They had a totally unique story with some of the very best actors and story line. They had the coolest aliens like the Vorlon and Shadows. Even though the special effects are dated they still did wonders with the series. I rate it far above the run of the mill stuff we see today and wish they could use it for another run today like something about the Rangers or another galaxy wide war they kind of played with but never really put their heart into as the series wound down. Boy they sure had first class actors in that series. It had great humor and sad and angry plots that never let you down. It was a kind of U.N. in space theme that they did very well.
At the time Babylon 5 was been shown these special effects were years ahead of anything else and if you did not know they used real physics in all the space battles too. Babylon 5 did politics and space battles unlike anything else at the time and is a underrated masterpiece. Babylon 5 is a million times better than the over hyped Star Wars and Star Trek.
Awesome! Love it! B5 is the best sci fi tv show ever. Never got the appreciation it deserves. Back in time... in my family we were all B5 fans and followed by WB channel on cable. Each new ep a home reunion with my best friends and my dad ... who passed away in february this year... 😞.... B5 has a new meaning for me now... as it brings many good memories that I thought lost...
I so enjoy listening to and watching this video so frequently. It is so very well done! The music choices are perfect!
I think it is about time Babylon 5 gets a remastered edition.
Switch out ALL of the space scenes with modern CGI.
Yes... That would be excellent.
This is something I could get behind. Keep the actual way the shots were done, but just make it look better.
funny thing.. every B5 space battle was all CGI to begin with.. any remaster would only be worth it for a higher resolution.. which wont look better unless you have a new screen to watch it on.. after all 4k or 8k picture will still appear to be old res on old screens... other wise go for it...
we also need a new series done in same universe... with new actors for obvious reasons... not that they will ever match the mastery of the original cast....
CGI has come a long, long way in the last 20 years so you could get much more detail in the ships, explosions, warp gates, Depth of Field effects, color grading etc. On top of that the current cgi was only rendered for SD so anyone with a 720p or higher screen would benefit - which I'd wager is most TV's at this point.
I'm surprised the fans haven't done it TBH. The original show was shot on 35mm, so that's HD ready. The SD visual effects would need to be completely done from scratch though. Still... even The Babylon Project mod is starting to look better than the original effects today!

This show along with Star Trek and Andromeda were my Sci-Fi shows growing up.
Star Trek is crap
This, Star Trek, Andromeda, and Stargate are all still shows that I rewatch over and over
I didn't think I would come across a Babylon 5 battle montage that I would like, I was wrong.
Thanks.
I have no earthly idea how many times I have watched/listened to this ... doesn't matter. :D
i dont know why, but the Narn ships are some of my favorite designs
There might just be a lore reason; the Narn warships are apparently designed to look advanced and intimidating - this is because their tech level is actually relatively low compared to the other great powers of the setting.
I love the Shadow "battlecrabs" personally. They're like if spaceships could have nightmares.
@@aedwynn6474 Yep:
'A spider big as death and twice as ugly, and when it flies by it is like you hear a scream in your mind; yes I saw it too'.
'If you really saw that thing and want to go looking for it; you are looking for death!'
for the depressive among us, think about how many thousands of lives were snuffed out during those battles if they were real, but from a special effect view, they are precedent setting for si-fi battles in series and movies that followed.
Indeed, Babylon 5 is that kind of show that I would never dare insult by watching anywhere for free, not the series not the movies. Each has their own place of honour in my television cabinet, along with an autographed photo of the legendary Bruce Boxleitner himself.
Shame you didn't add a stinger with *the* most epic space scene of the series:
Delenn: "Only one human has survived battle with the Minbari fleet. *He* is *behind* me. *You* are in *front* of me. If you value your lives, be someplace *else*."
(pause)
(Earth fleet runs away as fast as it can manage!)
VulpisFoxfire Haha amazing moment. Geez I watched this show on disc when I was FIVE YEARS OLD. What an amazing show. Battlestar Galactica the first.
VulpisFoxfire That was an epic moment but including Delenn's ultimatum would disrupt the pacing of the video since the montage theme is on space conflicts.
OG21020
Agreed.
OG21020
*nod* Hence why I suggested it would make a great stinger for the video at the end. :-)
Or...Ivanova saying, "I am the right hand of vengeance & the boot that's gonna your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart. I am death incarnate...& the last living thing that you are EVER going to see. God sent me."
And Boom!
Most badass Iine in sci-fi history...in my opinion. Lol
The Epic of Epic Epicness in Trailer Form
Best Scifi series Ever Epic Music as well too pure epicness......just chills
This made me want to indulge in a B5 marathon. I went looking for my dvd set and can't find it anywhere.
I'm a little panicked right now.
search for stream i lost mine as well. its still watchable. :D
Two and a half years later, I still come back to this for inspiration when I wish to write or plot for an RPG, to calm me down when I feel stressed out, and to cheer me up if I feel saddened. It is truly inspirational music set to a wonderful montage of video clips. Here's hoping you keep it up on UA-cam for a very long time.
I'd like to add, as a B5 fan I might be a bit bias, but this show deserves every bit of the drama and intensity those tracks give it - great selection.
I would buy the whole series, but everyone acts like they never heard of it. This was one of the best SciFi space series' of all time! In the top five.
Great showcase compilation and epic music to go with it ... Awesome job for an equally awesome show !
Great montage of B5, a fav SF series (best in my book). Love the music too. Last piece and sequence is excellent! Thanks for time and effort in splicing it all together! Cheers!
*goosebumps* *tears in eyes*
This is absolutely fantastic, beyond amazing. It really makes me think back to the "good ol' days" when Babylon 5 was on. No show will be like it in a very long time. And the only show that came close was really Stargate.
This is BEAUTIFUL. I can only imagine how much work went into this. Only a true fan would put forth that kind of effort. NICE.
B5 is one of my all-time favorite shows. I’ve watched a.lot of B5 video, but this was the best I’ve seen by far. The resolution was the best I’ve watched, by far. Great job.
10 years later I still watch this :))
Wow! This just reminds me of how much this series rocked!!! They don't make shows this good very often anymore..
this is an amazing vid.all the songs are awsome.hands down the BEST B5 music vid ever made.ive lost count how many times ive watched this vid over & over.it'll be quite some time b4 i get tired of watchn this vid.
That was totally epic. B5 was an excellent series, well acted, well scripted and a fantastic storyline of biblical proportions. This video really shows off the epic space battles of that series at their best. Thanks.
The Vorlons vs. Shadows vs. Everyone else & The 1st Ones was the best space battle to date
Making me want to watch through B5 again... It's too bad my season 1 was scratched unwatchable by trains passing the house...
Best Space battle montage I have ever seen
Awesome montage, and great music choice. Reminds me of how much I love this series.
Loved this! B5 had the most epic battle scenes and no other series has come close. And the music was perfect for this video.
Thank you so much for this great montage! I remember B5 from my teenage and study years; considering, that the CGI was done by using many linked Amigas, i still love what they did with their resources back then. Adding a truly amazing story arc that still grips me, even today. I guess i have to binge-watch it sometime soon (especially since i heard it's available in HD now!) :)
Great compilation. I can remember seeing this stuff for the first time on TV wondering just how it that this is free? Babylon 5 was the best show ever to be broadcast.
Fantastic. Have been watching the series over again and this is a great montage, the music is great.
Excellent video and brilliant editing. Thumbs up for the best Sci Fi series EVER!! Babylon 5!!
Love how the music fits each part, how the percussion fit each shot of what is going on. I must agree that just like C Franke - you did a great job putting the right beat with the right part for best emotional impact. Case in point when the entire Minbari fleet comes out of hyperspace all at once, you could not of had a better timing or inflection to match up.
I salute
RubberDuck3h: Well done! you really do a good job with these.
And don´t forget the amazing different designs in all the spaceships, (colors, textures, styles and lightning.) they are unique.
Brings back memories.
Good Job. Thanks for putting the good ones together.
The words " epic battle montage" gains a new meaning after seeing this video. The music is outstanding, you did an amazing job here
Wow, AWESOME job!
Hmm. Been a while since I watched B5. In spite of the sometimes bad acting it had an outstanding story and the battles were truly epic. My favourite ships were the Shadow ships, nothing else in the history of SF in film/tv matches them, they are just so creepy. Favourite moments: Delenn telling the Earth forces to leave B5 alone, when you finally realise who Valen was, Vir's revenge on Morden ... so good!
This show what the one thing that made Babylon 5 so good , the epic battles and cool ships.
Babylon 5 was one of the best series I ever watched. Brilliant, epic story and excellent actors.
"We live for the one, we die for the one
But we don't die stupid
I coult watch it again and again (and I do it). This video is simply perfect.
Best space battle video in UA-cam
This is an amazing video, wow! You made perfect music choices... that video is really intriguing!
it amazes me how well the cg holds up after all this time
Thx for one great mix
Awesome!!!! Best Babylon 5 Video ever.
miss u B-5 soooo much! Thank you for this!
Great montage from a legendary TV show.
Classic show I hope that someone makes a remake
I just got finished watching the third and fourth seasons....great vid, man!
That is amazing, great work on this! :D
Quality stuff, just rewatched severed dreams, was an awesome show
Fantastic work
MY GOD!!....HERE WE GO!
If there was ever to be a revival of these series, this should be the ''promo''...Amazing stuff!!!
ASTOUNDING quallity, how the heck did you manage to do this I have no idea but you are the greatest man alive!
when i come to the best space battle of all tv show and movie no one could beat Babylon 5 they space battles was pure epicness!!! king of all space battles , not even the expanse could beat it
i watch bsg it was boring and crappy space battle i watch it because there was nothing good on tv ,lol, really do you think a bsg fighter could fight against a starfury? if you said yes you never saw a starfury fight
The thing I always loved the most about B5 was that it had long plot arcs that felt like they had been worked out well in advance.
Beautiful.
Goosebumps! I understand that all thing must end, but babylon 5! I was sad to see it go.
Legendary.
A very solid compilation. Great justice to CGI team of Babylon 5. You don't quite notice the brilliance of some space battle scenes on the show, they flow naturally within narrative. It's interesting to try and see early stylistic features that would shine later on Battlestar Galactica, like documentary shaking camera and zoom, especially in later B5. WB should really make up their minds with this property.
Lol at the guy at 7:40 flying into battle, in a space suit! That takes balls!
nice video , great work ,Thank You !
@RubberDuck3h great vid..you did some awesome work. the timing with the shots and the music...well done
wow, by today's standards this CGI is garbage, but damn doesn't it just give you the chills. love it
even today some of the graphics hold up, unless you count the fleet battle scenes from star trek & mass efect, we don't have any sci-fi battles as epic as babylon 5
*****
same 3 plastic models being blown up yes
Babylon 5 has the best CGI of it's time. In 25 years today's standards will be garbage.
The one that really gave me chills was the scene from "In the Beginning" where the Battle of the Line starts; Hundreds of jump points forming at the same time with thousands of Minbari ships pouring out to finish off the human race. As Sinclair's character said at the start of that scene, "Oh my God."
the texture map resolutions might not be in the thousands by thousands like todays cgi, but the amount of detailing in the weapon hits, explosions and wreckage modeling still is strong in my opinion. Only when we start hitting star trek movie budgets does it really pale. And B5 was mostly a tv series and the movies never showed in cinema's so it didnt have the uber budgets. Even in the uber budget shows and movies of today how often do you see as many models engaging each other on screen at once? Pretty much never. Rogue 1 scarif battle is probably the biggest and thats like a 2016 big budget movie not a 1997 tv series
B5 is also quite possibly the BEST representation of shielding effects with the thirdspace ships. The shields arent generic bubbles and they respond directly to specific hit locations.
Upping the resolution to modern levels is all they could try, any change to the actual models and effects would break it
Excellent video, well done.
even the music he uses is more than just epic noise
he makes excelent use of melodies to better inform emotional context, witch is vital since he doesn't have story here to acieve that, so it doesn't matter if you've seen the series or not, there is enough context the you can still grasp what is going on, even if you don't know the details
this is some genious level shit here, I salute you sir!
A fan of Babylon 5. Definitely think that there is life out there.
Awesomeness, thanks for this great epic video to Babylon 5!
