My wife just got me all 5 seasons of babylon 5, i was wondering if the show is any good, and should i spend the time watching all of it. I know nate use to watch it, so some imput plz, i want to watch it but 5 full seasons is allot of time to spend on the couch.
It is a good show, with what is usually a very good storyline that actually spans most of the 5 seasons. Stuff that happens in Season 1, for example, will come up again in Seasons 3 and 4. Special effects are dated, like Gabe said, but it is still good stuff. It sort of changes gears and slows down a bit at the 5th season, but that is because it was uncertain if the show would last all 5 seasons, so they moved stuff ahead of schedule (the writer planned a full 5 year epic for the series). I would only bother with Babylon 5: In the Beginning, though, as far as movies go.
