Somewhere out there there's a post from JMS replying to me stating that the change to Franke was a combination of wanting something a bit different, and Copeland's touring schedule. I think JMS has forgotten the touring schedule, and the opportunity for something different has been morphed (mostly by fans) into a dislike of the OST.

Perfectly. And people don't believe wokes would actually want to throw us all into concentration camps. In fact, I recently saw an interview with one of new cough cough Star Trek cough cough "actors" saying, "F- you all, I'm going to brainwash your children into transgenderism." Someone who says something like that is evil and should be thrown in jail for life without a trial.

This series holds a very special place in my heart. I'm a huge SF nerd. I love both Star Trek and Star Wars. They can't be beat. However B5 is a series I've watched (from start to finish) more times than I can count. There are many scenes that have stuck with me through the years, and will probably still be with me at the end.

Babylon 5 really was a special kind of show, something that comes together maybe once in a generation.. Yeah, the CGI really did not hold up, and suffered especially for the DVD release, but it also doesn't matter all that much, because it was just so character driven. Londo Molari has one of the best complex character arcs in TV. I don't know if we can ever get a 5 season planned story arc again in this era of brutal and shocking cancelations of good shows. The only sad thing is just how many of the main cast have already passed.

[@SoapySoap93]

Londo and G'Kar is still the best friendship in all of sci fi

[@TheVeritas1]

You are correct that the streaming era has made Hollywood more quick to axe sci-fi shows. However, it's not impossible for such shows to have survive and even thrive. A great example is The Expanse which lasted six seasons. Like B5 before it, the gritty space opera is very character driven and has complex story arcs spanning throughout its run.

[@michaelguth4007]

​@@TheVeritas1 The Expanse was axed and then salvaged by Amazon, IIRC.

Event hen it barely made it through, with PTEN (B5's home network) falling apart, Warner budget cuts as it was Season 5 was heavily pared back, We're all just glad it make it through all of the challenges.

I know the CGI looked a bit off even on a CRT tv set compared to Star Trek: TNG and newer 'treks, but Babylon 5 looked okay on a CRT, though really dated on LCDs and other flat planel displays.

Oh, children, this brings back memories! Some twenty-something years ago, a twelve-year-old kid in Southern Germany, spent his last days of summer holidays with The X-Files, Star Trek, Babylon5, The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits and Beyond Belief. There were three German channels that aired Sci-Fi through the entire summer weekends and they aired them in such order, that you could watch all shows. I remember it vividly: SAT.1 aired Star Trek - TOS at 2PM, Star Trek - TNG at 3PM, Star Trek - DS9 at 4PM, Star Trek - VOY at 5PM, then Pro7 aired Babylon5 at 6PM and 7PM, then The X-Files at 8PM, Outer Limits at 9PM and VOX aired Beyond Belief at 10PM and Twilight Zone at 11PM. Every Saturday and Sunday in July, August to mid September. The best summer weekends ever.

[@jamesabernethy7896]

A comment for the algorithm as I caught these all at the time. My cousin got me into B5, I was a little bit younger than him and although I liked it, catching disjointed episodes on TV made it difficult to follow. For a while I was collecting Series on DVD and when I was a little older and could watch them how they were intended I really fell in love with it. It's a great show with an amazing cast, there was so much great chemistry. They had fun with the show but dealt with some weighty stories. Despite the more limited budget compared to Star Trek, the station felt alive. This was ambition that delivered.

[@lisaboban]

I rewatch B5 at least once a year, and literally finished season 4 today. But I can never make it all the way through season 5 without alcohol. And the less said about every single movie, the better.

I believe that when we watch a video, part of it goes with us and part of us remains. Go anywhere on this website when it is quiet, and just listen. After a while, you will hear the echoes of all our conversations, every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we are gone, our words will linger in these webpages for as long as this comment section remains. But I will admit that the part of me that is going will very much miss the part of you that is staying.

[@sterling4271]

I really enjoyed B5 when it was originally aired. A group of us would always gather, watch and discuss the episode, and I dont thing anyone ever missed a single show. I never warmed up to Lochley. The others in my group didn't seem to mind her, but she just never filled the spot of Ivanova properly.

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

Even if it makes no sense logically, my favorite moment in terms of personal character momnts is when Londo tells Veer to go outside to see his "gift", and it's Morden's head on a spike, and Veer, with the most satisfied smile of all, waves at his "lifeless eyes". Of course the other great moment, as good as, is when Veer tells Morden that's what he wants, earlier in season 2. The pure attitude of rapture when he says, "I want to look into your lifeless eyes, and wave... like this!" is priceless! Love Veer! Oh, and it makes no sense logically because Londo had no way of knowing that's what Veer had told Morden he wanted.

[@Two_Shoes]

Well done! The best synopsis of the series I've seen. B5 was more of a coming of age story for me. As a young man I ignorantly held very strict views of the world, more importantly my role in life was to show others how wrong their differing opinions were. This show helped me understand points of view are very subjective and that doing the right thing is sometimes very difficult, and may have unintended consequences. It helped me consider the others around me and their unique situations and to consider the long term consequences of my actions. I think the good person I have evolved into was largely due to internalizing the themes and lessons of this show.

For me, Babylon 5 is the greatest and most exciting sci-fi series of all time. Others don't have to feel the same way. Because for me, there are scenes here that I associate with the term "space opera" like in no other series. I still get goosebumps when Londo looks down at the Narn's home planet as they shoot him with mass accelerators. The music also plays a big role here. And I still love Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Deep Space Nine, Farscape, Lexx, Firefly and so many other older and newer series like Falling Skies, Defiance or The Expanse. Despite that, Babylon will always be deep and unassailable in my heart ❤️❤️❤️⭐💫💥✨☄️🌌🌏🪐🌕❤️❤️❤️

The juxtaposition of Reefa's brutal death with the main cast happily singing a baptist church bop about the death of sinners was what first intrigued me about the series. If they were willing to take such a major risk to intertwine two scenes like that... I thought 'my gods, what else am I missing?'. Seriously ballsy, brave, and sharp writing in that whole setup and payoff. I still go rewatch just that sequence sometimes when I need a reminder to take risks and stand behind challenging ideas when writing.

[@Malryth]

Making my comment just before Part 2. I grew up watching this show in "real time" having watched some of Season 1 on 2nd generation VHS copies. Sometimes on a re-watch, I'll put in the Final Episode in place of the Season 4 ending. After all that was how JMS intended it having filmed that episode during Season 4 and thinking his show was cancelled. I don't "hate" Season 5, but the frantic pace of Season 4. Season 5 seems almost like a different show or a different story told in the same Universe. I always wonder how it would have been had JMS gotten his 5 seasons his way. Thank you for this amazing look back at a show that changed my perception of "good SF" forever.

[@JanRademan]

I found myself thinking about the sea change in modern TV, where the focus moved from monster of the week shows in the 80's to the hyper serialised multi season arcs of today. I settled on Babylon 5 being the first real example that set out to do this from the beginning. I can't think of another show that did this earlier.

[@rmsgrey]

Babylon 5 was the first (and possibly still only) pre-planned 5+ year arc not based on a pre-existing novel or series of novels, so far as I'm aware. It's entirely possible I've missed an example somewhere, or that one of the shows that appears to have been largely improvised actually was pre-planned. It's not like I've done anything resembling rigorous research on the matter.

[@ManOutofTime913]

There were a lot of shows that inspired Babylon 5 which did this or at least attempted to. Dr. Who, Hill Street Blues, The Prisoner, etc. You also had shows like Wiseguy and Michael Mann's Crime Story where the status quo could change between episodes. Of course, the classic example is The Fugitive where there's a series-long arc. Babylon 5 definitely wasn't the first, however it was the first modern one and is still one of the most complex with its multiple series-spanning plotlines.

[@rmsgrey]

One thing that contributed to Babylon 5's success was the rise of the VCR (and later TIVO, etc), making it practical for people to watch episodes they would otherwise miss because of life getting in the way. That made it less risky to do long-form serials where people are expected to have watched every episode.

I remember when Babylon 5 first aired. The first season was a little rough, and someone I know called it “Bulls#!+ 5”. I stuck with it, merely as a curiosity, and mainly because of the lack of sci-fi on TV at the time. Episodes like “Babylon Squared” were fantastic, but as with all episodic television at the time being self-contained and resetting to the status quo with each new adventure, I didn’t expect anything to come from the seeds of the long narrative being planted. It wasn’t until the Season 2 premiere, and talk of “an ancient enemy not seen for a thousand years” that I was hooked.

When I saw JMS popping up in the credits that pretty much explained it. :)
