[QUOTE="Orius, post: 1164634, member: 8863"] Yeah, like the posters said above, Season 1 is important, but not seemingly so at first. I haven't seen most of those eps in quite a while, but I do remember not being terribly impressed by most of them. The series may seem uninteresting at first, but JMS has a habit of sticking important hints and clues to what will happen later on in earlier episodes where they don't seem important at all. Of course not all the episodes are "arc" episodes either, there were a number of episodes written by people other than JMS that are essentially little more than filler. From what I remember these episodes are important: "The Gathering". Not an episode per se, it was the TV-movie that set up the series. It's a bit cruder than the show itself, especially with makeup, but it does intorduce the basic concept, and several main characters. The season premier for the first season is important, because it introduces us to some more cast members, and so on. There was an episode about the soul hunters pretty early in the season too, I think the second or third episode that has some important stuff too, IIRC. "Mind War". I don't remember much about this episode, but it does introduce Bester the Psi Cop who is sort of a recurring villain on the show. Some plot elements might be important too, but I don't remember. "Signs and Portents": This is a very important episode, because it sets up a lot of stuff in the background that become important later in the season and the overall story arc itself. "A Voice in the Wilderness" A two-part episode, it has relevance to stuff that happens later on, primarily in the third season. "Babylon Squared" I actually have this one on tape, so I actually remember most of what happened. It's an important episode as well, it sets up some Season 3 events. "Crysalis" I have this on on tape as well. This is pretty much where the main story arc starts to pick up speed. It's a very important episode, and definitly should not be missed. [/QUOTE]
