Re: Starting Babylon 5: any tips and warnings from fans greatly appreciated!

Prepare yourself for terrible 90s computer animation and cheesy, occasionally heavy-handed liberal politics. As a big leftie, I really liked the latter in the show, but if you're a bit more conservative I can see it becoming annoying. Also, my equally liberal friend thought it was too OTT and couldn't get into it. But yeah, if you can hang on until the end of the first season you should know whether you'll want to watch more or not. The 5th season is a bit funky because IIRC they had to wrap up a few plots in the 4th season early because they thought they'd were cancelled so they had to invent a new arc for the 5th, but if you get that far you're in for the long haul anyway so it shouldn't matter anyway.

In conclusion: it's worth it!

I'm very liberal and have a biiiig soft spot for heavy-handed political preachiness. *glances at icon* so that sure as hell won't be a problem for me. ;)

I gotta say I'm actually kind of intrigued by this info that the last season was kind of leftover aftermath stuff. That sounds pretty cool to me, since it's usually the opposite in most TV shows (plot resolutions left to the very end to draw out viewer interest, resulting in rushed conclusions and clutter and dangling threads).

Just reread my comment and i'm sorry about it's dodginess - def wrote the last bit in a hurry :/

Anyway, I actually have a better view of the 5th season than the commenters above me. I haven't watched it for years, and when I did I knew that they'd had to basically extend/invent more plot, but I thought it was still actually decent considering that. Also, some of the wrapping up of the 4th season was necessarily a bit rushed since it was originally intended to be a 5 season show, so it was satisfying to have partial continuances of the previous plots. Also, if you get as far as season 5 presumably you have fallen in love with all the characters and just love being able to spend a bit more time with them before the finale, which breaks you down before lifting you back up. You will cry!

Since I'm on the subject, I think that how much you like the episode Parliament of Dreams is pretty indicative of how much you're going to like the rest of the show, even if it doesn't have much stuff about the wider plot arcs. Enjoy :)
