Babylon 5

I didn't think the music was bad. It wasn't great, but at least they tried something new rather than going to the old orchestral well.

I remember the music for Crusade was beeps and boops.

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I remember that it turned me off just as soon as I heard it.

I liked In The Beginning, but "And the Sky Full of Stars" and "Atonement" handled the subject better (and Sky even looked better). The Sheridan parts were the only interesting ones.

Rewatch these two scenes and say that again. (for those who haven't seen the series yet, the first one has some subtle spoilers and the second has none)

Okay.

"I liked In The Beginning, but "And the Sky Full of Stars" and "Atonement" handled the subject better (and Sky even looked better). The Sheridan parts were the only interesting ones."

Now, interesting or not, the rest was good. But Sky is still better.

You know, Amazon's got a great deal right now. You can get the whole series for about $200. As soon as we move to Phoenix I'm getting a job.

There's too much I've missed out on over they years. Babylon 5 has always interested me. and I'd love to get the series, but right now $200 is a serious investment (4 months worth of savings) I can't make. After all expenses, birthdays and other holidays I really only get $66 a month from my SSD.

But, I will get a job, and I will buy the series!

Well not to brag or anything Rev but here's my collection of B5 . Hope you get yours as complete one day

Ok quick note to anyone who's just getting into the DVDs now: don't watch JMS's commentaries until after you've seen the whole series. He's not at all shy about dumping spoilers.

One piece of trivia that'll be interesting to RPG fans about B5: Lawrence 'Larry' DiTillio wrote many RPG publications (most notably The Masks of Nyarlathotep for CoC, and also an article on poisons in an early issue of Dragon reprinted in Best of Dragon II) before becoming story editor/writer for about 40 Babylon 5 episodes: Larry DiTillio's B5 résumé

B5 was perhaps THE best sci-fi show out there, past or present! I've been catching up on eps I missed when they aired on tv. Airtimes here were erratic at best. I thought it was humorous that it was beating the pants off Star Trek DS9 and Trek had to revamp how they did storylines on DS9 as a result of B5's popularity.

Nevertheless, DS9 is a better follow-up to previous Star Trek series (TOS and TNG) than the ones that came after it (under the leadership of producer Brannon Braga).

Yeah of all the Trek shows, DS9 is by far my favourite.
