These are BAD shows. B-5 was fantastic!

I loved B-5. It was much better than DS-9 when DS-9 first started. That one eventually got better by becoming more like B-5 when they had Sisco shave his head and stop acting like a wimp, and brought in the Klingons.

Babylon 5 was an awesome series. My kids and I watch an episode once a week. The problem with Babylon 5 is that you have to watch about 20 episodes to start getting an understanding of the larger plot arc.

Yes, the special effects are cheesy, but that was a consequence of the technology available at the time. Babylon 5 was really a brilliant piece of work.

B5 was groundbreaking. Unlike most shows where the writers make it up as they go along and see just how long they can keep it going, B5 started with the entire 5 season plot arc in mind and the episodes pushed that plot forward. The first season could be painful and the special effects are dated, but on the whole it was an amazing show and one that influenced so many of the good SciFi shows we have now.
