Specifically, Season 4, episodes 4-8. I’ve spent a good chunk of my summer watching Babylon 5 on DVD from Netflix. Got to Season 4 and DVD 2 is in my “Saved” queue (availability “unknown”). I assume the disc is lost or was so unplayable it was taken out of circulation. So now I’m screwed. It appears that Netflix used to have B5 on streaming but not anymore. I saw that The WB has full episodes available but it looks like only Seasons 1 and 2, everything else is just clips. I suppose I can go to the library or a local video store (there are still one or two around) and see if they’ve got it, but I don’t expect to have much luck with that. ---

Man are you boned. Season 4 has some of the best stuff. (Season 5, not so much.) iTunes has it, but only for the “buy” option, no rental. You can get the individual episodes for two bucks each. ---

You can get the individual episodes for two bucks each. I found them on Amazon Instant Watch too, same price, which is probably what I’ll wind up doing since I don’t have an iTunes account.
