Hi all, any old Bablylon 5 fans here?

Hey to everyone. Any old fans of the TV series Babylon 5 here on the boards?

I loved that series more than any other.

One of my favourites too although I haven't thought of the program for a long time.

Now that I look back on it, the Tolkienesque ambition of its plot arc becomes a lot more evident as I think on it.

Hello and yes, got the whole series on DVD.  Loved the 5 year story arc - very ambitious and expertly pulled off IMO.

yay Bab 5 - I only ever kinda liked it a bit until I stumbled upon the who lot on CD and watched them back to back - the overall stroy arc is fabulous and I recommend everyone watch them this way. what an outstadning achievement by the writer of this work... stunning!

Yes, I was a big fan of Babylon 5 too.

I agree that it took time to grow on you - you needed to get into the plot arc to really appreciate it (I thought it was a little bitty to start with, before it got going).

Surprised I missed this one. The subject, not Babylon 5.

What as significant about the series was proving that not all SF TV was Star Trek.

The first season was really to establish all the various sub-plots and alliances before Straczynski turned a lot of it on its head making the Narns more heroic and the Centauri the bad guys. Even the position of the Vorlons was played down until season 4.

For Season One, 'Parliament Of Dreams' has to be my idea of the perfect episode with multiple twists.
