Yes, definitely. If you like interesting and weird aliens, mysteries where things aren't always what they seem, decent character development and galaxy-spanning storylines. Especially if you can overlook early-90s CGI and occasionally wooden acting. Like most arc-based shows it takes a while for B5 to get going while we get to know the main characters, but it's worth the investment.sigpic

You HAVE to watch S1, but some do suggest watching S2 first to really draw you in more.
Me personally, I loved it from around 3-4 eps of S1 onwards.sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truth

I've only seen the first 3 Seasons, but from what I did see, I would say...
Spoiler:Also, don't skip Season 1. All in all the show certainly isn't perfect but it's definitely really good. I really enjoyed it quite a lot.Last edited by Infinite-Possibilities; 26 May 2012, 12:35 PM."First Weir, then Samantha Carter, and now, you!

It is very complex with long story archs that develop over time and the show is non-traditional in many ways. If you don't enjoy those types of shows B5 may not be for you, not everyone can keep up.
That being said, the show is awesome! I wish it were still available on Netflix streaming as I want to watch it again!sigpic

Andromeda is a series that (in my very subjective mind) seems comparable to B5 in terms of originality, story continuity, and production quality. If you enjoyed Andromeda, then you'll likely enjoy B5, provided you stay past its weak beginning. And if you haven't seen Andromeda, then this comparison will be useless to you.

Bester one of the villains in B5 is played by walter koenig aka checkov from TOS
Also G'kar is played by the same actor who plays Romulan Commander Tomalak from TNG
Mira Furlan who played Delenn in b5 also played Danielle Rausseau in lost
But there are alot of great actors attached to the seriesLast edited by mr_kennedy; 03 June 2012, 03:42 AM.

Spoiler Alert ******For instance, I think when a Minbari dies, their soul might inhabit a human body. I think. I don't believe this is 100%, but for some. Thus, the Minbaris quit fighting Earth. Maybe I'll learn more about this at the end of three. My wife informed me we have one more disk for season 3. I thought we finished three when Capt Sinclair returned for that two-part special. I see the last show is named Z'ha'doom. I know this place is important, so maybe I'll get more info to clarify things for me.- The Truth is Out There!
