I decided to start Babylon 5 for the first time a few days ago. It's interesting but disconcerting interacting with a futuristic federation-style space series that isn't Star Trek.

Also the '90s were a magic time.

@jewishreader This is exactly why when it first came out, I, a Star Trek nut, panned it as "silly." Years later when I watched it I was ready. I loved it. I've watched the series 3 times.

@Nonya_Bidniss @jewishreader The first (or one of the first?) tv series with long story and character arcs. Evergreen themes of morality, ethics, slippery slope leading to fascism, etc etc. Doesn't lean too hard on random tech mumble things to save the day.

@jewishreader I’m a little jealous of you watching it for the first time!

@jewishreader There are so many wonderful things you're going to see for the first time. I'm jealous! #Babylon5 is one of the best SF series ever.

@jewishreader Hang in there first season is a bit rough, but it hits its stride halfway into the second one. So just like most Trek :)
