I was hooked because the over-arching storylines meant most episodes ended on some kind of a cliffhanger, so it was hard not to want to tune in again next week. The storylines themselves or, as was more the case, the execution don't need to be all that great for this to work. As for the squee, it was over pretty fluffy stuff. I just don't know what people were seeing when they talk about it being genius.

Actually, from what I gather, what you've just said is the reason it's considered genius. It was one of the first shows to do consistent, pre-planned storylines that were steadily advanced - a television novel, as opposed to an episodic TV show. The storylines themselves aren't necessarily better than most you'd get with TV sci-fi, it was the way the show was structured that marked it as different.

Soap operas had already been doing that for decades.

Except that Babylon 5 had it's whole 5 year run planned out... while Soap Operas have ongoing plots they're usually not thought out anywhere near that far in advance, they just keep throwing one twist after another to keep the audience from loosing interest.
