It gets much better as soon as Bruce Boxleitner takes over from "The Incredible Wooden Man" aka Michael O'Hare.
I'll take issue with that. I prefer O'Hare to Boxleitner.
For one, neither actor is Deniro or Hoffman, and second, Boxleitner had a lot of real ham in the show, so I think people acting like he was so far above O'Hare is just BS.
I'm a B5 fan, but JMS' often overly lengthy, expository dialogue does occasionally bring episodes to a tedious crawl.

I did want to see more of Sinclair's lady friend from the final episodes of the season though, and wondered what she thought of Sinclair's revelation, or if they broke up.
I like a lot from the first season, but there were many episodes that I would call Forgettable. Episodes like Signs and Portants, and the Wilderness 2 parter are great, but it really is Chrysalis where the series came to it's own and took off.
As for O'Hare vs. Boxlietner, I liked both but Sharidan had more personality. I did want to see more of Sinclair's lady friend from the final episodes of the season though, and wondered what she thought of Sinclair's revelation, or if they broke up.
In his first several episodes, Boxleitner wasn't playing Captain Sheridan. He was playing Captain Skippy. It took him awhile to find his footing, but he eventually grows into the role, and settled in nicely.

Even later seasons have plenty of episodes that are slow going...I also attribute this to budget. If it was JMS' intention to really shake up TV SF, then he could have made it more more exciting than STNG...which is the show he was aiming for at the time.
I like ham much more than sawdust, which was about how dry O'Hare's delivery of practically every line was.
None the less you are entitled to your own opinion.

Catherine joined the Rangers, but was unfortunately lost in mission to the Sector 14 time anomaly.It is implied that Sinclair eventually did find her again.

Interesting. Glad the books brought her back in some form.
This thread made me finally bite the bullet and purchase the movie collection. I figured it's a last Christmas gift but I did enjoy the movies when I was watching the whole series a few years ago so I can't wait till they come and I can see The Gathering and In the Beginning again.

Aimed for and hit, frankly. B5 is far superior in terms of depth and complexity than TNG (or VOY for that matter). Only DS9 approaches it's level, and then only in the later 3 seasons.

The Movies collection does not contain The Lost Tales (came out 2/3 years ago, set around 9 years after the fifth season) or Legend of the Rangers.
Speaking of ... It's kind of awesome watching Rangers now and seeing David Martell on screen. Why? Because I now own the costume he's wearing. *squee*
