Good. I still have factory sealed Babylon 5 collectible card game packs from 20 years ago that I'd like to cash in on some day.

Supposedly there are books with stories that occur in between episodes or continue the story after Sleeping in Light.

I should try to read those one day.

I should have known. Someone gave me an Amazon gift card and I bought the whole series on DVD a year or so back. Parts of it are still sealed. Wonder if they'll take it back.

For those not aware: It was a planned five-year arc, then they found out they were only getting four seasons and crammed the important parts of the fifth season into the fourth season. Then they were told they got a fifth season anyway, even though they had already wrapped their main story arc, and they had to piece together story for an extra year of show.

Most of Season 5 isn't that bad. I find it on average more enjoyable than the first season. The first season is incredibly important, but it can be a bit of a slog the first time through if you don't already know where things are going.

The show was cancelled so they rushed the overall story to fit... then it got renewed for another year so they stretched it out. Really, JMS should have backed away from the money and said "we finished it last year when you cancelled us, it's over". But money vs. artistic integrity, I think we know which usually wins, right?

B5 has some awesome character arcs in it performed by good actors, but a lot of dialog that makes you cringe. And a lot of not so great actors. And the underlying reason for all the conflict in the story is just dumb.

And the special effects really don't hold up at all... especially since they royally messed up the CGI conversion to widescreen. It's a shame it would cost too much to do, but the show could really use someone with access to the original live action wide aspect video redoing ALL of the CGI in modern quality.

Once the Byron episodes are done, it gets back on track very well. The last 5 episodes are really damn good. So is the one episode penned by Neil Gaiman.

In the realm of 'the last season sucks', it's no where near the badness of things like Heroes, Game of Thrones and especially Battlestar Galactica.

Fwiw, the sex and violence being juvenile was the point - to show humans being complete twats if allowed to be complete twats.

However, that's as much defense the show deserves. What a surprise that when Anthony Hopkins left the story, it went to hell. It was a single season show and that's it.

I watched the entire series (including the reboot/sequel). As bad as the drop was to season 2, it got so much worse. I was basically watching it as a comedy by the time it finished.

It's the same way I watched Syfy's Helix. It was so utterly ridiculous, I loved it.

But to make that point, they didn't need to show it over and over again - it became gratuitous and was done simply to appeal to viewers who get a thrill from that stuff. It was rarely shot and staged in a way to make viewers uncomfortable to watch - the sex, specifically, was often hot men and women getting naked.

Babylon 5 is a novel on screen.

Do you expect the first page of a novel to hook you in?

The first season, like much of the beginning of a novel, is world building and character building so that when the payoffs come later, they are that much more amazing. But few people realize this nowadays.

the only reason I bothered with the HBO Max version is the HD upconversion...so unless Tubi has it in HD, I'm good.

The first season of B5 isn't bad, per se. It's just not as good as the rest of the series. There are some dog episodes, but its mostly watchable. And the character development and worldbuilding is absolutely necessary. Its not like Star Trek and Star Wars where you know all the major players. B5 characters are way more nuanced, and so is the political situation.

My favorite episode of the entire series is in the first season (Signs and Portents). It's where the show goes from "average sci-fi" to "Whoa, something is going on here".

I tried to watch Westworld. I think I got thru five episodes. Boring wheel spinning; a storyline that was outrun by a turtle. Even gratuitous boobies couldn't keep me roped. A waste of Evan Rachel Wood and Jeffrey Wright.

I've rewatched B5 so many times that the Shadow War is pretty boring to me now. When I want to watch a random episode, I'll often pick random ones that are side stories that focus on the characters I've grown to love.

So I'll watch Survivors (Garibaldi and his friend's daughter, no not like that), TKO (for Ivanova and her father, not for the boxing match), and By Any Means Necessary (for the dockers' guild and their plot).

It's the world building that gets you to love the characters in the first place. Then, when stuff happens to them in the main story, you care about it that much more.

The problem with having BBC-like 10-episode seasons is that all of the one-off, world-building episodes are cut to have only episodes that focus on the main plot. And that kills much of the enjoyment.

For those not aware of the nitty-gritty:

Bab 5 was produced by PTEN, which was a collaboration between Warner Bros and ChrisCraft.

Yes, a farking boat company decided to get into media production, because in the late 80s/early 90s, cocaine made it seem like not the worst decision.

PTEN was making 3-4 shows, and B5 was the only one that lasted more than a season. The second biggest hit was the Kung Fu reboot. Other than that? Remember Pointman? TimeTrax?

So it's a miracle B5 got four full seasons given that shaky of a production company.

Growing up, they'd run a Twilight Zone marathon on the local independent channel every Thanksgiving. You watch enough Twilight Zone episodes, you don't get surprised by any kind of twist after awhile. The last twist that I genuinely didn't see coming was Arrival w/ Amy Adams.

Not as good as a full redo of the effects would be (these days they could probably do it cheaply in Unreal Engine), but good enough for a rewatch.

I've heard about how good B5 is for years so I tried watching on HBO. I just couldn't get into it's groove. But while watching the first two episodes I checked out it's IMDB page, and basically, everyone has prematurely died. I know there are cursed shows, but this one seems so bad it could leak over to its viewers :)

If I were to ever give it another try, anyone have a suggestion on a season and episode to start on to see it at it's best?

As far as the overall plot goes, the first GREAT episode is S1 E13 - Signs and Portents. Then it goes down a bit again until the season one finale. You will appreciate all the other episodes a lot more after you've seen the entire series.

But then season 2 will blow your mind. Season 3 will blow your mind even more. And then season 4 will make it explode completely.

Yep. Keeping the original cast around led to the inevitable power creep that killed the quality of the show. They constantly had to find ways to hamstring Peter, Hiro, and Sylar when they shouldn't have even been an issue going forward. Sylar should have died, while Peter and Hiro just have cameo-level appearances down the line.

Their thought process (I'm not guessing at this, this is what Zaslav literally stated) is that people stay/become customers for new content not old content, which, aside from shows like long-running sitcoms or Sopranos which I'm sure people still regularly binge to this day, is very very true. No sense in wasting money paying residuals from a subscription to constantly growing old content almost no one watches. They're want to use it to exclusively produce/acquire new stuff that will keep people subscribed.

But it's now available (I'm confused if it'll be on roku, tubi, and their own FAST, if it'll only be on roku and tubi until their FAST service launches, or if it'll be split between the 3) FOR FREAKING FREE... so who the hell cares?

it boggles the mind how reddit and fark biatch and moan about a huge treasure trove of content, previously locked behind a pretty expensive subscription, being released for FREE is somehow a bad thing.

/And it makes sense for old content to be on a free FAST service because ads pay out per viewer. So if it gets 7 viewers or 7000, the ad payout will scale accordingly and be able to pay for the residuals regardless.

I think it's more accurate to say it was cancelled after season 4, but then the production company sold another season order to a new buyer in syndication. This is why Claudia Christian didn't come back, as she didn't want to take a pay cut to syndicated show rates. The rest of the cast decided to see it through to the end. (Money is money I guess)

Also, what is the status of the B5 remake that JMS has been working on?

If you're not a purist and want a decent intro to the B5 universe then start with the B5 movie "In the Beginning."

There are some minor spoilers for seasons 1 and 2, but it's a much stronger start than the episodes by themselves.

steve_wmn: Also, what is the status of the B5 remake that JMS has been working on?

It's still up in the air. JMS is on Twitter, where he posts updates (among other things).
