I should buy that series. I think I have seen an episode, but it didn’t seem interesting to me.
You can also pay per episode on Amazon instant video.
B5 is very, very good, but it takes some, ah, “determination” to get in to it, as the series is really one big (and fairly coherent) 5 year long story. The 1st couple times I saw it, I had no idea what the overall plot was, and was left wondering what the heck I was watching.
However, then I saw a couple episodes that stood alone fairly well, and that hooked me. To understand the whole story one needs to watch the 1st season, which is the hardest to “assimilate”, 1st. But, to get hooked, I’d watch these episodes from Season 2:
All Alone In the Night
And Now For a Word
Confessions and Lamentations
(Wonderful spirituality and willingness to sacrifice by the character “Delenn” reveals itself late in this episode, pretty much striking awe into her former enemy, Capt. Sheridan.)
A word of caution: While there are occasional space battles, that’s not what B5 is really about. B5 goes much deeper, and therefor requires much of its viewer. But, give it a good chance, and it will be well worth the effort.

When you get to Season 3, the Episode “Severed Dreams” has “everything” (including a major battle). But the “build-up” is what helps make it special.
