    LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT!!! My life was on hold to see it each week, and everything was designed around, setting down to watch! TOO well written for TV They should run the series on PBS

    ONLY part of the Babylon 5 movies... and series I havent seen other than "The Lost Tales". Unless you count "Legend of the rangers"... which from having read alot about Babylon 5 i gather most fans dont. I actually had this on DVD along with the Whole series, all the other movies...( read more) and Cruisade (the unfinished series) but they all dissapeared (where to i don't know and believe me i've looked for them). But I live in hope that one day we'll be reuinted... keeps me going.

    An average TV movie, that messes with the timeline of the series so don't get it confused or mixed up if your a fan of the show.

    I think B5 was a good length, except maybe one more season to deal with the telepaths would have been nice. With all the movies added to it its pretty long.

    IMO, the only show to compare in story and character quality and addictiveness is Farscape, although its a very different type of sci-fi.

    Yes I'm a great fan of all the Babylon 5 series' & majority of the films too. It was sad that it all ended though, but then I guess had it gone on, it may well have gone 'pear shaped', maybe it's best it ended when it did, to hopefully become a classic. The 'Legend of the rangers' was somewhat disappointing though, it did not 'float my boat' at all, as I've stated in my opinion/review of it.
    Sure there are other Sci Fi films, series's etc to watch, but B5 was compulsive viewing, one got so attached to the characters & their relative lives plots et al.
