Great series.

Parts of it were cheesy. There were episodes that didn’t work. The special effects in the first couple of seasons were very primitive before CGI technology really came into its own around season 3. That said, it had a good and original and interesting story to tell and it had some good actors.

Oh and my favorite was Londo Mollari. Funny as hell. Scheming and devious at times. Ultimately tragic.

I watched the series when it came out but because at the time I was bouncing back and forth between the states and Europe for school/work, I got interrupted around season 3 and didn’t see a point in picking back up around season 5. I then watched the whole thing from the beginning on Netflix when they were still mailing out DVDs around 2005 or 06.

I also watched all the made for TV movies (about 5 of them) and the spinoff series Excalibur. Some of the movies were good and some were also quite cheesy.

I would really like to see some more well made spinoffs set in that universe. I know the creator was trying to get something going about 5 years ago but I guess plans fell through.

I still remember the episode “into the fire”...
Morden: So what are you going to do Mollari, blow up the island?
Londo: Well...now that you mention it...(holds up detonator)
Morden: Noooo!
