    I have a soft spot for B5. I've only ever actually watched the first series...but it was something of a help for me when I first started building up stretches of sobriety from alcohol. Crikey - this is sounding like a heavy post! I had a very happy six weeks off the booze, probably back in 2010. My evenings were spent watching Bablyon 5 and enjoying microwavable curry - in bed. This was after either being at work, or a 10 mile hike. A healthy, happy time crowned with B5. Maybe I'll start re-watching it.

    I am ok just watching the original series all over again. It has some great characters and stories. I hope you are doing well.

    Hello everyone, Hopefully, there is still some B5 fans active on Fidonet. It's been about 10 years since I watched Babylon 5 for the first time. It is arguably the best Sci-Fi ever written for television, but the later standalone movies and spin off series

    no need for a reboot, they did it perfect the first time around. I think Ambassador Kosh was my favorite character.

    My favorite scene is when Sheriden gets up in Kosh's face about not willing to help fight the Shadows. I forget the episode name.
