Well it is, or was, on the Netflix DVD service cause that's how I originally watched it. Though fewer and fewer people use that service. I dropped it myself last year. But the thing that really chaps my ass is that the brief period of time it was streaming on Netflix I compared the two and theirs was a better print/copy/resolution/whatever the appropriate technical term is than my DVDs! It really was nicer to watch (although at times better copy meant 'can see how really cheesy primitive CGI was').
Warner yanked the rights from Netflix, saying they were going to put it out themselves. Then they put Season 1 on their website....and....that was it. Now Warner has a new subscription service out, but B5 isn't in the line-up as of yet. I can't see this working for the studios. Who wants to pay multiple subscription services when there may only be one show each service you really want?? I mean, I have two services and resent it :)It's the cable tv model all over again.
With DVDs there's more of a sit down and pull out the discs thing, it's more planned. I'm stuck with the big TV or my laptop. I watch a LOT of Netflix on my Nook. I watch while cooking, I watch while working out, I watch in bed.
Who doesn't want John Sheridan in bed?
Ahem. In any case if it's a scheduled or sort of scheduled re-watch I'll reserve my spot on the big TV. I've been thinking of buying the whole shebang on Google Play, cause I think their cloud will outlast me, and I can stream off multiple devices. I think. I've also been toying with the idea of buying myself a few episodes, just so I can have them. At $2/pop I figure I can buy 10 or 20. It's an interesting mind game, which ones to buy...
