Rowan Kaiser AV Club 04/19/2018
The fourth season of Babylon 5 aims for competence and consistency more than any of the other seasons, and it relies on getting the symbolism of the massive events of the season right to have any power, and dammit, those things do have power.

See more rashid w @RW2021 11/23/2021 Still in a roll from season four, such a fantastic season for B5. See more 03/05/2021 Amazing, best sci-fi ever made See more 12/27/2020 Sci-fi Legend of 20th century, had tremendous impact on the tv industry, with season length story arcs and universe building. 2020 and it's still a role model, still not surpassed by most of the modern sci-fi shows. JMS was playing 4D chess in 1993 while others are still playing checkers. See more Read all reviews
