Amazing Kosh:

I watched the first two eps and I felt that the acting was a little over-dramatic at times, especially from Sinclair. I know he doesn't stick around though I don't know the story reason behind it. I'm sure I'll find out soon enough.

The only reason I'd not lead off with ITB is it's rather Spoilerriffic. Placing that at the beginning of a re-watch, yes, but not necessarily for a first run through.

I tried searching for B5 threads before starting my own. The search came up with nothing but here's this thread! Anyone, mine has my own poll so it's all good.

So far undecided about this show but still willing to give it at least a season to decide.

Babylon 5 is good 90s TV show, but it hasn't aged well in terms of CGI (it was bad in the 90s and most of the CGI looks like cutscenes from a bad PS1 game) and it in production design, and other shows mined and dealt with a lot of themes, subjects, and storylines much better Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Caprica, Farscape, Sense 8, Doctor Who, Torchwood, and it's own short-lived spin-off/sequel series Crusade just to name a few are better shows) and it's big final battle is huge disappointment.

If you haven't seen any of the other shows I mentioned then Babylon 5 is a great show but if you have you'll be wondering "what is the big deal with this show?" For a 90s sci-fi show it is a great show but other shows have pretty much did what JMS started and they ran with it and IMHO did it much better than he did on Babylon 5.

IMHO Babylon 5 is not even the best thing JMS ever wrote, that is Midnight Nation a woefully under-rated comic book series he wrote in 2000.

I know that Microsoft Movies and TV used to have the show and the TV movies (they might still have them) you can watch them on XB1, XB360, Windows PCs otherwise. You can buy them on DVD from Warner Bros' website or on Amazon. They generally go for $30 per season. The TV Movie set for $25, and the short-lived Crusade $10-20.

The last two TV movies the it's so bad it's kind of good, but still totally bat-shit crazy Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers and the boring as hell and just God-awful Babylon 5: The Untold Tales (the only good thing with the POS movie is that CGI isn't complete and total shit) maybe for $5-10 (and that is being very generous) per movie but I don't recommend either of them, unless you suffering from insomnia and/or just in a self-masochistic mood.

I watched every Episode, every movie in German.

When I was without a job, it was my routine to watch it while and before sleeping again.

I gifted the whole stuff 2 my brother, who up until this day did not finish it

So yeah, best series ever, and my faves are clear,

Shep, and all that transpired around him

oh and the backstory of the actors is rlly cray cray,

y'know why the last commander had to leave the show, +sheesh+
but he got back with my 5th fave role.

I freaking love Babylon 5.

HA! Best Poll.
