Rarely am I compelled to write comments. To go through a registration process just to do so illustrates how strongly compelled I actually am. This is the best show I've ever seen, a true masterpiece by the creator and the actors who brought it to life. I grew up watching Babylon 5 and being able to watch it in it's entirety over the last month has been a pleasure. Thank you WB for making it available.:appl:

There are problems with the site ... my experience has been it all amounts to the time of the day I watch. Generally, in the mornings up to mid to late afternoon east coast time it seems to work. On days I work and get home late afternoon evening, I fairly consistently have issues watching (and I've tried different browser and OS combinations as well as internet connections).
It just feels like they're trying to reinvent the wheel here and frankly, I'm disappointed. Even more disappointed about the season 4 finale being incomplete. If theWB intends to use this as a means of marketing DVDs, I suppose creating a sub-standard video website might force some to buy the DVD's so they can re-watch the show without dealing with the issues here, but honestly, I hope that's not the intention.
I check here periodically to see if they've fixed the season 4 finale, but I haven't watched anything on the website in the last week or two because the performance is bad enough that I'm not willing to watch anything else or give anything else a try until I get the impression they're trying to fix the issues. I'll stick with Hulu and Netflix (and even TV.com) even if I can't watch certain programs.

...but I've never had any serious issues watching this show on the website.
It's not perfect, but it's far from unwatchable. I've gone through three seasons now, and the most serious problem I've had is the show skipping a few seconds to a minute or two around the commercials - which is easily remedied by going back to the appropriate timestamp.
Thank you, WB, for putting this show up for free viewing. :evil1:
