Babylon 5 Reviews

To say that Babylon 5 is the best sci-fi TV series out there is an understatement. It has everything, effects, good characters, good storlines, seriousness, terror, thrills, comical moments and the list goes on....... To tell the truth if I had realised when it started on TV that I had already seen the pilot episode on TV the ...  Read the complete review

There are many great Sci-Fi series set in the depths of space, Star Trek, BattleStar Galactica etc. But none of them really have the scope that Babylon 5 has. Michael J Straczynski the creator of this show was the pioneer of the five year plan. This idea had been copied by Star Trek mainly and a few others. Another thing that this series ...  Read the complete review

Babylon 5 There are so many bad Sci-Fi series about at the moment, luckily this isn’t, one of them. It’s dark, it’s epic and it’s got big explosions! B5 can be a bit difficult to get in to, not because of endless techno babble (Star Trek Voyager anyone?), but because the storylines are so involved and detailed. ...  Read the complete review

I used to be a B5 fan, the long row of videos covering the first 3 series of the show will testify to that. The concept of an SF series with a 5 year story arc was excellent. B5 had more to offer than most beacuse you knew it was building up a story and recounting a future history. Unfortunately the 5th series and too a lesser extent the 4th ...  Read the complete review

Babylon 5, a place for peace. Well I must admit that I watched the pilot with several bad reviews about it and I must admit that the pilot was very poor. However I am not one to be easily put off without giving the show a chance and so I tuned in to watch the first series, it did not strike me as overly good. Still I decided to let it run to ...  Read the complete review

Yes it is. Both shows are good but B5 had te upper hand, it had beliveable aliens, realisitic technology (most the races did not have artificial gravity) and the coolest bad guys ever = The Shadows. It started slowly, but as time went on it became apparent that there was something big going on that conneced the series from begging to end. The ...  Read the complete review

Babylon 5 is one of the best sci-fi shows to hit the screen since Red Dwarf. the story-line around the show is quite realistic, but the graphics have just got to be the most TACKY(not compairing them with Red Dwarf) i have ever seen. All the crew are good espcelliy Bruce Boxlightner. The best ship has got to be the white star but if you ...  Read the complete review

Babylon 5 reached it's fith series on the Sci-fi Channel, and I have missed it being part of my weekly schedule since it ended! For a program to make 5 series' it must recieve good ratings and have an audience. Babylon 5 had all that it needed to get the audience required to keep it going. Great characters from numerous different ...  Read the complete review

Babylon 5 had an excellent story arc, planned from the beginning and very well executed. This is something rare in a lot of current TV shows, planning ahead, attention to details and a great plot. I was always disappointed with the way the show was scheduled. Late night slots are impossible for the viewer to remember, let alone be ...  Read the complete review

Babylon 5 was one of my favourite programmes, I watched every single episode from when it first started. The characters are really something and the story lines were very cleverly wrote, the way each series continued into the next kept me wanting for more. Gkar is one of my favourites, and the very last episode made me want to scream, I really ...  Read the complete review

When i first saw Babylon 5 advertised i was expecting another 'Star Trek' clone, full of goody goody people always doing the right thing. Was i wrong! It had weekly stories with a hidden plot that began to unfold as the series progressed. The stories followed many of the characters and didn't just hover around the selected few, ...  Read the complete review

This for me is the best sci-fi series around it is a shame it ended with a fantastic storyline spread over 5 seasons. Season 1 This mainly introduced the plots and you got a good insight into the main characters. Cmd. Sinclar was in charge. Season 2: Introduced John sheridan and events leading up to the narn ...  Read the complete review

When this series first came out it had the appearance of just another science fiction take off of Star Trek. I thought it would be boring and bland and watched the first couple of episodes in which the characters did not develop. After not watching it for a while when channel 4 started to show them again late at night I started to ...  Read the complete review
