    I was on youtube last night trying to avoid star wars possible spoilers when I watched the reunion video from Babylon 5 at Phoenix comic con. it was really long but a lot of the cast was there and it got me wanting to watch this great series again.

    For those that don't know Babylon 5 was a show Made by J Michael Straczynsk in 1994. It is about a space station were all the ambassadors for each race go to debate policies in the early stages of this galaxy. There is lots of politics but the show still has plenty of action and intrigue. It takes place ten years after the earth Membari war, we lost big time lol . The whole story is intertwined thought all the seasons, the writing is just awesome and this is actually my favorite Scifi television show for many reasons.

    The main reason I am posting this here is to see if anyone wanted to have a watch through and talk about each episode. I have never met to many people that were into the show and I think it would be something cool to discuss while we wait for hopefully the best movie ever.

    It has it's own feel kinda hard to describe but I would say it take my favorite elements from trek and wars and blends them together. All the telepathy stuff really reminds me of how there could be Jedi like beings in our society someday.

    Sorry, I'm late, but here I am, a big Fiver, who is brave enough to say that B5 is even better than ST or SW...

    B5 was on Netflix years ago when the service was young iirc. Great series, and way ahead of its time. You know how every Netflix show has a self-contained story across 13 episodes? B5 did it across 22, with an entire story across 5 years. This, in an era where nothing but soaps were serialized.
