PHOENIX COMICON 2013
The 20th Anniversary Babylon 5 Reunion at Phoenix Comicon gathers 13 cast members and its creator, J. Michael Straczynski, offering an unprecedented exploration of the series’ canon and behind-the-scenes antics from multiple perspectives. NOTE: This panel was shot in 4:3 ratio so the footage is 4K but not widescreen.
SPACE CITY CON 2014
A relaxed and intimate reunion of 17 cast members including Bruce Boxleitner who was not at the Phoenix event but is here. Less formal than Phoenix with lots of fan interaction with the stars.
SPACE CITY CON COMMENTARY
Claudia Christian, Jerry Doyle, and Pat Tallman provide commentary as they watch highlights from the Space City Con reunion event, which Jerry did not attend. Jerry supplies priceless anecdotes most fans don’t know.
REUNION ABOUT THE REUNION
Two years after the 20th Anniversary Conventions, Senior Editor Jason Davis interviews Claudia Christian, Jerry Doyle and Pat Tallman. Two parts. 90 minutes total. Jerry at his playful best. Ditto for Pat and Claudia.
ANDREAS KATSULAS BABCOM '96
Set YouTube quality to 1080. It’s 4K on the Vimeo feed.
RARE: Never before released by B5 Books. Filmed with a “smuggled camera,” so expect some shaky footage. We’ve stabilized what we could and re-digitized it. Despite audio upgrades, it’s not perfect but Andreas is flawless.
MICHAEL O'HARE MOVIE PALACE '95
RARE. Not previously released by B5 Books. This is Michael O’Hare’s first appearance in the U.K. where he delivers an intimate talk and lively Q&A with fans. We polished the audio, and redigitized the footage which is shot at an angle from below him.
STRACZYNSKI'S PROMISE PANEL
A landmark con event when J. Michael Straczynski reveals the promise he made to Michael O’Hare: the real reason O’Hare left after season 1. WARNING: This is fan footage shot at the angle shown above. We’ve included it because of the importance of this panel to the B5 fandom.
THE MINBARI
Mira Furlan (Delenn) and Bill Mumy (Lennier) discuss every shade of their careers—light, dark and Grey—in an intimate Q&A with fans.
THE EARTH ALLIANCE
Claudia Christian (Ivanova), Joshua Cox (Corwin), Bruce Boxleitner (Sheridan) and Tracy Scoggins (Lochley) take to the couch, and nothing is off limits.
THE RANGERS
The off-the-wall Jason Carter (Marcus Cole) meets his match in the loquacious Dylan Neal (The Legend of the Rangers’ Martell) in this spirited discussion of all things Anla-shok.
THE TELEPATHS
Andrea Thompson (Talia Winters) and Robin Atkin Downes (Byron Gordon) discuss the dangers of working on futuristic sets and talk about their characters’ sex lives. So much to talk about. So much.
THE NARN
A must watch for Andreas Katsulas fans. Marshall Teague, a not-to-be-missed storyteller, shares his Babylon 5 experiences as Nelson Drake (aka the Ikarran bioweapon) in season 1 and as Ta’Lon in seasons 2, 3 & 5.
ZOE & LOCHLEY
Sixteen years after they filmed “Day of the Dead,” Bridget Flanery (Zoe) and Tracy Scoggins (Elizabeth Lochley) discuss how Neil Gaiman’s brilliant script redefined Lochley.
CLAUDIA CHRISTIAN
In this solo outing, Claudia Christian shares Babylon 5 secrets, while also talking about all her voiceover work which you probably didn’t realize was hers. (Think Jaguar cars and Disney.)
THE CENTAURI
These Centauri are “lit.” Stephen Furst is stoned on painkillers (injured foot) with Peter Jurasik accidently sloshed on extra-strength cold medication, providing hilarious moments reflecting on their Centauri lives.

THE SINGLE CAMERA VIEWPOINT
Know that the cast reunion events at Phoenix and Space City Con are multi-camera productions. On the flipside, the panels of 1-6 cast members are not. These are each a single shot from the point of view of the audience. And that's the goal: to make you feel like you're actually in the audience. At 4K (or even 2K) combined with the remixed audio, this is a front row experience.
"There really is something for everyone here, whether you're obsessed with canon, fascinated by the show's history or simply looking to delve deeper than ever before into the Babylon 5 universe."
EXPERTLY CAPTIONED
While auto-captions work fine for most video, this footage is way too Babylon 5 specific. The best experience meant having a team of B5 experts manually caption the dialogue, eliminating errors like "Ghislaine" for "Delenn" or "Canine" for "Koenig." Be sure to select "English CC" not auto-generated in caption options.
