Can't forget the Star Furies. My favorite space fighter. And dang, they just make sense. Space fighters that can only fly in a straight line are dumb.

One of the best sci-fi shows ever. Great dialogue, great character development.
I really wish JMS would remaster the show and use modern CGI. It would be really awesome to be able to watch this downstairs on the big plasma with new graphics. |

part of. First 2 seasons I think. is 3 done and on Amazon yet? or was it 4 that Amazon picked up? So yeah I think it's good but it hasn't really hooked me. I'm not jonesing for more so to speak. I'm happy it got saved by Amazon and will watch more of it at some point. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I watched it when it was on TV and couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD.
Sadly, they chose to release it on VHS and sales were terrible because everyone knew VHS was dying. This was taken as a sign that there was no demand for the show, so it took years and years for it to finally come out on DVD. |

Yep. JMS had to rush the Shadow War and cram it into season 4. Which is why we got Space Hippies living in the basement in season 5. Still, B5 is the greatest sci fi show of all time so far for me. Amazing moments. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Man I envy you being able to watch it for the first time. I absolutely love that show. The first season is a bit rocky but it starts to ramp up in season 2. Be sure to check out the movies made for the series and Crusade. Season 5 was a "oh shit, we didn't get cancelled after all and need to come up with something" wrap up to the show and gives some foreshadowing into event that take place between B5 and Crusade and are expounded in the novels. Damn Sierra cancelled the B5 game in the late 90s that would have been the best space simulator of it's time. Numerous groups have made freeware games since, the best being one called I've Found Her. Still, B5 is the greatest sci fi show of all time so far for me. Amazing moments. |

I saw them all when they were first run. I was working night shift and had my wife tape them for me.
Best SF show I've ever seen, bar none. We just started watching it on Amazon. We're still in season 1, but it's still a great show. The graphics of the outside of the station shows the most age, flickering and so forth. The characters and writing are just fantastic. My wife is not a huge SF fan, but she loves Babylon 5. Londo and G'Kar especially. That moon faced assassin of joy line is from the first season, we just saw that episode again. Great stuff. |

Gogle it and watch it in order with the movies, or miss out on epic shit. Theres like 7 movies.. Two big ones IMHO - watch "The Gathering" first, then start season 1. And do not watch "In The Beginning" until after season 4 - it reveals things that might spoil some of the first 4 season events. Also watching "Sleeping in Light" and "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars" after season 5 and "A Call to Arms" (and possibly Crusade) makes sense to me. |

After you've finished, since you also like Star Trek, be sure to watch Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning probably the best (and funniest) fan film of all time of any genre any fictional universe. Oh yea, and its in Finnish so turn on the subtitles. Worth the watch.
