If you haven't watched Star Trek (original and next generation) and Babylon 5, then you just haven't watched real space sci-fi yet. B5 is the best space series up to now. You just want more...

Watched through this show a few years ago. Absolutely brilliant in its first 4 seasons but it fell away in the final season. One of the best Sci-fi shows

@elmiszon Bester and Servalan (Blake's 7) would make the ultimate villain couple! (a match made in sci-fi hell)

Amazing series; completely broke the mould of science fiction TV. So many fantastic characters, who unusually for science fiction actually underwent character development during the course of the story arc - G'Kar and Londo especially, With an honourable mention for Bester - a classic villain in the Servalan (Blakes 7) mould.

The series lost a little after the tension of the Shadows' emergence was revealed, but even the network screwing with the schedule and messing up the plan for series 4/5 couldn't stop B5 being a TV masterpiece.

It's hard to imagine the masterful reboot of Battlestar Galactica existing if B5 hadn't rewritten the rules first.

It's hard to express how much I love this series and its cast. It has a complex story, superb writing and great character development. My favorite characters would be Delenn, G'Kar, Garibaldi, Londo.
If you haven't seen it yet, do it.

Nowadays I guess this show would still consist of 5 seasons, but they would be much shorter. While all those filler episodes in seasons 1-3 (first half) set up later story arcs, they're still something to work through which also costs it at least 1 point. But it's worth it because Babylon 5 at its best, meaning some episodes of season 2, pretty much the entire season 3 (except said fillers) and the majority of season 4, is simply stunning and unprecedented during its run.

Character arcs? Character development? Complicated relationships and politics? Look no further. This show is a must-see.

(And on a sidenote: I'd love to see the original draft of this series' 5-year arc without the changes that became necessary due to cast changes.)

I don't think this held up very well over time. I tried watching the first episode and all I can think about is people in silly comic-con level costumes.

My all-time favorite Sci-Fi Series. It still holds up today. It is so good; in fact; that it has never been duplicated. It stands on its own in a sea of #CopyAndPaste series.

Yes, from today's point of view it looks dated, even cheap at times. The CGI can't cover the fact that it was made in the mid 1990s. There is no way around that.

But let that dissuade you from watching this and you miss out on one of the best TV (not only scifi) shows ever put on TV.
