Advantages: Great computer graphics

Disadvantages: Some episodes are rather monotonus

Babylon 5 might always be considered as a copy of Star Trek that will never be as popular but as a sci-fi show its hard to beat.
Channel 4 should be given credit for showing it even though it is screened late at night which probably prevents the show coming to the attention of many viewers. It probably also prevents it form becoming as popular and as widely known as Star Trek.
Some people would sya the comparison between the two is unfair but its one that anoybody seeing the show for the first time will think. Babylon five deals with examples of internal conflict as well as outside threats from others. It has morals to the show and makes points rather as well as entertaining the viewer.
The computer graphics in Bablon 5 are simply amazing, the start is just a taste if what is in store and if you find the storyline boring you will always find the animations breathetaking.
The acting while not being brilliant is reasonably good and does more than enough to entertain the viewer.
Give this a go and you'll see that theres more than one sci-fi show on TV!
