J. M. N Oct 20 Perfecto colofón para una serie magnífica, no tiene desperdicio, muy recomendable See more Penny S May 28 Even on my 6th watch, B5 never fails to capture my heart. Simply the best sci-fi, especially considering it's era. See more Guilherme G 05/06/2024 A lot of people like to write off Season 5 because it's not up to the quality of the previous seasons. I honestly think that's too heavy-handed. Season 5 is a product of real-world circumstances - the threat of cancellation in season 4, a change of network, the exit of a major cast member. While the first half of season 5 requires some patience to get through and has its share of cringeworthy moments, the latter half and the final episode are some of the best material in the show and absolutely on a par with the high moments of season 3 and 4. See more Keith B 04/28/2023 Season 5 of Babylon 5 is a disappointment on several levels, at least during the first half. The first episode of the season, we have a discussion between Sheridan and Lochley, and it's obvious from their interaction, they were never married. But a couple episodes later, they state they were once married and it's a sloppy inclusion that no one can accept. At the end of season 4, Garibaldi was in love and on Mars, taking over Edgar Industries... now he's back at Babylon 5 and the Mars storyline is dropped. We were led to believe that the "telepath problem" on Babylon 5 was to be one of Sheridan's "biggest mistakes/challenges" at the end of Season 4 (The Deconstruction of Falling Stars), but in the end, it was just a forgettable storyline with Byron, the telepath cult leader who moralizes at every moment while surrounded by telepath "extras" who never mutter a line of dialog. These extras just end up being fodder or followers, but never rise to 3 dimensional characters. Finally, for being an alliance with all worlds, why is there no earth representative present? Sheridan, the President, is NOT the spokesman for Earth, but Earth agreed to join. There might have been some interesting interplays with an Earth representative who is suspicious of Sheridan, but that storyline is never pursued. The later half of the season is far more interesting, but we have to get through a lot of filler to reach those episodes. See more 06/06/2022 With the story from both seasons 4 and 5 crammed into season 4, season 5 is a bit empty.
