I never watched it when it was on. I did watch the spin-off series Crusade. I thought that was wonderful, but it was cancelled after a dozen episodes.

I'll have to watch Babylon 5 one day.

I wanted to watch it, but I heard about it after it had been going for some time, and I was always told that you need to have watched it from the beginning to understand what was going on. I'll have to rent the DVDs some time.

I did watch it near the end. Some said it was the best planned SciFi series ever and all the plots make sense and the continuity stays in intact.

But when I saw the end of teh series I gave up on it. The biggest baddest war in teh history of creation boiled down to teh shadows and vorlons pikcing up their toys and leaving?!


Its a fun show but I coudlnt get in to it

I'd watch Space 1999 if you have the chance FBF. It's a 1970's Star Trek style show made by Gerry Anderson (the person behind Thunderbirds). There is a nuclear explosion on the Moon and the Moon - complete with a manned moonbase - is blasted into outer space.
