I have the series on DVD but I’ve never seriously cracked it, only seen a few episodes. Was wondering what people here think, is it as good as the internet often says it is? I know it was an inspiration for one of my favorite franchises (Mass Effect) and The Orville had a cute reference to it by making its main actor the president of the Planetary Union, but that’s the extent of my B5 knowledge. So anyway, should I binge the series?

      It’s not that season 5 is bad, it’s that they pretty much resolved everything in season 4 when they didn’t think they were getting a season 5.

      Then, after they hit it out of the park with 4, TNT comes along and goes “So about season 5…”

      “Uhh… yeah… season 5… heh.” 💧💧😅💧💧

      It’s decent. First half is not as good as any of the other seasons, but the second half ramps it up considerably and is great. Sad but great.

      Maybe I’m the only one who likes S05 just as much. Yea it’s not as bombastic in scope, but you still get the same great characters and universe.
