It's widely considered the most contiguous SciFi series out there. The director started with 5 years of scripts and changed very little during production, other than losing the main character between seasons 2 and 3, due to medical complications. I personally consider Bab 5 to be as good, if not better than both Firefly and Farscape.
It's cheesy and cheap and often very manichaean. Yet, it's very interesting and got me hooked to an extent that nothing on the Star Trek universe managed to.

It is good to have friends, is it not, Mr. Garibaldi? Even if maybe only for a little while?

I am 100% on board for B5 characters lying in wait to jump out among the trek memes.
MajorHavoc@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2y
Yeah. Can we make this an official tradition?

I'll do my best to throw one in every now and then.

It's from Babylon 5, for anybody coming to the comments and wasn't familiar with what show this is from.

M'star trek peeps, is the show worth watching? I've never seen it, and I've heard mixed reviews.
teft@startrek.website · 28 pts · 2y
100% worth it. With the caveat that the effects aren't good. The story and characters more than make up for it though.

The cgi was done on Amigas IIRC

Maya did what it could. The effects were amazing for a TV series at the time.

Oh my god yes. I’m surprised you’re not watching it now. There’s a good amount of 90s camp and cheese, but the bones are very, very solid.

In the past year it was released in 4K. As others have said, the effects are not great, but growing up in that era, it felt a little nostalgic.
I was pretty hooked on it for a while. I got kinda burned out on the last season. It’s not that it wasn’t good, I just binged it too hard.

Much of season one is outright bad. The remaining seasons are really good.

Poor Vir. Londo treats him so poorly.

Post psi corps memes.

Psi Corp and techno mage are fantastic creations in that universe.

With holo decks everything is in universe. This could just be a holodrama.

Slap a portable holo emitter on Mr. Garibaldi post haste!
