It was the dawn of the third age of mankind. Ten years after the Earth Minbari war. The Babylon project was dream giving form. It's goal to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call. Home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanders. Humans and aliens wrap in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

This scene has always been a favorite of mine, considerably apt in this timeframe.

My first post post-reddit, as it were. Recently found a remastered version of this classic scene and wanted to share!

Wait, is there a 4k upscale of Babylon 5?

From what I last heard that wasn't possible due to not having the original files from the CGI scenes. I believe these are individual scenes upscaled either with AI or other post-processing software. For what it's worth HBO had some upscaling implemented as well while they hosted streaming rights just recently. I'm just not sure about the current streaming rights holders, Tubi.
