Indeed, and that describes the general tone and purpose of the five seasons pretty well. However I think the denouement or season 5 can be compared in many ways to that of LotR, but I will save the comments for some other time or thread as I don't want to spoil it for those in the process of watching the episodes for the first time.
Okay, I'll take a look for both. I assume those are the titles.
As others have said the show is not for everyone, if you don't like it you don't like it.Okay, I'll take a look for both. I assume those are the titles.
Yay! Enjoy the ride.
I know I'm late to this party but I hope you stuck with it. It takes a little while to get used to the visuals and music, but it really is a great series that just gets better and better. Stay with season one as it ends up being very important to the story. The 1st 4 years are a well thought out long story arc. It's all important.
Season 5 is so so, but I fell in love with the series by then so I endured it.
Don't forget the 5 movies as well. Some better than others, but all worth at least one watch.
Enjoy!! I envy you, watching this outstanding series for the first time!
Indeed I did stick with it and have learned to love the show. I'm starting season 4 this week-end. It's a shame you can only see something the first time once.
As I'm sure Jan has already mentioned somewhere upthread, B5 is in some ways better the *second* time around as you catch all the little details and foreshadowings that flew right over your head on the first viewing. So you still have all that to look forward to.Indeed I did stick with it and have learned to love the show. I'm starting season 4 this week-end.

We'll see. I want to like it.
I probably did. I always tell people that I envy their first two times watching. And of course that second viewing should start immediately after the first.As I'm sure Jan has already mentioned somewhere upthread, B5 is in some ways better the *second* time around as you catch all the little details and foreshadowings that flew right over your head on the first viewing.

I just meant don't feel like you're trying to force yourself to watch it--if you like it that's great and I will look forward to your thread on that show--if you don't like it then don't force yourself to watch it.
Just started my third or fourth trip around the B5 bases (all movies, seasons and specials on DVD, including Crusade) with my family.
I'm so glad they replaced the script-reading actress in Ops (Lt. Cmdr. Laurel Takashima) from "The Gathering." Tamlyn Tomita has a long list of credits on IMDB, so I assume she improved her craft after leaving B5.

My second favorite season of the show. So many juicy things happen. Enjoy the ride.
I've watched the first 3 episodes of season 4. Again, I am struck by the organic way this tale unfolds. A mad Emperor, a First One, a Vorlon fleet... all new things thrown into the already complex mix. So many questions raised. Are the Sci cops in league with the Shadows, why was Garibaldy released? Will Londo make good on his promise to G'Kar? Did G'Kar really break? Of course these are all rhetorical questions. Please don't answer them!!
We wouldn't think of answering them - but do, please keep posting reactions. It's a vicarious pleasure.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
I've never had any problems with Tamlyn Tomita in any of the other shows I've seen her in.
