Pure trash. And too depressing to be fun trash. I'm not above laughing at a really good really bad movie.
I understand that some of the motivations behind the first series may have been Mormonish, but the Mormons were trying to lay claim to the heritage of the Jews. IOW, there's only a fine distinction between Spacemen acting like Jews and Spacement acting like Mormons acting like Jews.
My wife bought me season 1 as a gift. I loved the old series, and had only caught bits and pieces of the new series before now. Funny thing happened. She loves it (soap opera for nerds!) and I am pretty ambivalent to it. It has its good points, but I still prefer Babylon 5.

I am stealing that line!
