Just finished watching all seasons of Babylon 5. Beginning of season 1 starts out a little slow, but it HAS to, as to develop an understanding of races, characters, creatures, systems, ect. As a military veteran, I like to think of myself as one tough sonofabitch, however, I write this review in awestruck tears.
This show I cant put into words. Amazing/incredible/superbly written? These words still cant describe it well enough. I dont claim to know what good acting is, but this show, it brought me down to my knees in reverence and worship. Its classy cheesy story will make you question all other shows and at the same time, you cant stop yourself from falling in love with it.
If you google the actors, you'll say to yourself "who are these clowns?" But as the story unfolds, and the actors act, it invokes emotions in you, long thought dead.
I've watched ALL Star Trek series, ALL Stargate series, all Star Wars, Fringe, Firefly, Farscape, Quantum Leap, Andromeda, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who and many others.
NOTHING!... NOTHING COMPARES...TO BABYON 5! As tough sci-fi nerd snob, I didn't think there was anything better than Star Trek or SG1. Was i ever wrong. Now a great sadness resides within me, as i have finished the series. I wish i had never watched it, only to be able to watch it again, like new.
Thank you Babylon 5, thank you for existing. :')
