Started watching it about a week or so ago. Never had any interest in it after seeing the TV photo with Captain Crunch sitting there. Wow! Was I ever wrong about this show. Great story, amazing characters. On season 4 now. Garibaldi is about to throw Sheridan under the bus. My guess is Psi Corps got a hold of him (Garibaldi) and did what they did to Talia to him. |

Surprisingly, theres actually a current thread running in GD with a couple others running through it for the first time B5 Thread |

Great show. It's CGI wasn't the best at the time and doesnt hold up well now, but thankfully the characters and story were the focus so a lot of its age can be overlooked. There have been rumors for years about it getting a reboot and frankly I hope that never comes to pass considering the current state of TV and movies. |

I'm about to start season 5. Just watched the one where they reconstruct the past using holograms and stuff. Then Garibaldi as a hologram no less, gets Earth nuked into the stoneage. They even had one of my favorite girls in an episode last night. Musetta Vander. I kinda feel bad for not feeling bad about Ivanova almost dying. Too bad Marcus had to die to bring her back. Reading the other thread before it got derailed was good too. I did not even know most of the cast was now dead. |

I watched all of it over the last month. Season 1 was hard to watch because the guy playing Sinclair may be the worst actor I've ever seen, and I've watched school plays. Thankfully, there was enough character building and story line development to survive it. Seasons 2-4 were as good as TV Sci Fi gets, IMO. Season 5 did a thing I've never seen before. They wrapped up all of the story lines and finished a show properly. I was impressed. All in all, 4 out of 5 stars because Sinclair. |

Still one of my all time favorite shows... lasting consequences, interesting characters, great stories. I wouldn't want a reboot; JMS should lobby for a two season arc that takes place just before, during, and after the Shadow war. |
