Season one isnt great (main actor wasnt a good fit and had to be replaced with the tron guy in season 2) - so it may be hard to stick with it if you didnt know that
Also what was great about the show was the story arc concet. Up until then sci fi was a lot of TNG type shows with 40 minute stories that had no connection to each other. B5 was exceptional at the time. These days though every sci fi show is like that, even star trek. So it may not age well because it wont seem as unique as it should
That being said it is a great show and you should watch it |

Date: June 11th, 2018 2:35 PM Author: Domesticated giraffe mad cow disease I don't think it is merely the fact that it had an overarching plot. It is more that the plot was developed prior to the show and was actually good. Of course, after the plot ran its course (at the end of season 4) everything else was mediocre.

it was enjoyable. it has an actual running story arc and not just episodes-of-the-week (though it has those, too).

Date: June 12th, 2018 7:22 PM Author: floppy sepia locale Just finished selected episodes of Season 1. I'm following this guide:
I've watched both the essential and recommended episodes.
Thoughts so far ... incredibly cheesy graphics ... some ham-fisted acting ... but interested enough in the plot and universe building to continue on. |

Then do this in testimony to the one who will follow, will bring death couched in the promise of new life, and renewal disguised as defeat... From birth, through death and renewal, you must put aside old things, old fears, old lives. This is your death, the death of flesh, the death of pain, the death of yesterday. Taste of it and be not afraid, for I am with you to the end of time... Taste of it... And so it begins." (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3998032&forum_id=2#36233608) |

DAMMMN ... this is getting good. Babylon 5 literally NOWAG's close contemporary ST TNG. Why in the FUCK haven't I watched this before? |

Date: June 18th, 2018 10:05 PM Author: Domesticated giraffe mad cow disease It was much better than TNG. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3998032&forum_id=2#36269240) |

My local Fox station would run B5 @ 9pm and DS9 @ 10 on Sundays. |

Date: June 26th, 2018 8:31 PM Author: floppy sepia locale Finished Season 3. I watched all episodes, even though a couple of them were awful. But well worth the time investment.
On to Season 4 ... |

just got to s3e10. what a fucking 180 episode. loving this series.
really good storylines.
some of the eps are misses and some of the characters are a bit much at times, but they round them out pretty well as it goes on. |

Date: July 15th, 2018 12:27 AM Author: Domesticated giraffe mad cow disease Season 4 will be awesome too. Season 5 you can skip, but if you feel like it you can skip to the very last episode for the series finale. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3998032&forum_id=2#36428807) |
