As for The Gathering...well, I don't feel quite so strongly as Twister111 does. It works well enough as a pilot, but again I don't feel that it's quite on par with the bulk of the show (Seasons 2-5).
It's not that I feel strongly about it. I did type "You can watch Season 1 without seeing the Gathering. Since "Midnight on the Firing Line" does sort of allow a person to get introduced to the series but, if you can I do recommend watching The Gathering first." Afterall.
I just recommend it because, well it's the start of the story. There's refrences throughout to it and, it's the way I first experienced the B5 story when it first aired*. Either way mostly I just wanted to let it be known that it's out there since, the standard season 1 boxset doesn't include it.

We're about to start B5 soon, so I should start with the pilot/movie then? Which one is that (have to make sure they have it)?
It's included in these DVDs
