Babylon 5 is very much worth watching if you haven’t seen it yet, though I do recommend looking up a watch list. Much of season 1 is extremely skippable, and so is a fair bit of season 2. But the stuff that works really works, and later seasons become some of the most compelling TV you’ll ever watch. This show basically invented much of the format of modern prestige TV, and it had to sort of do it on the fly, which is why it takes a while to find its footing.
I don’t normally like to use “It gets good” as a defence of anything, but in the case of something like Babylon 5 I think it’s merited, because this is one of the shows that was redefining what “Good” actually meant.
Sweet!
“This video is unavailable in your country” like… The fuck
Does it work through this Invidious instance? (it’s a youtube front-end/proxy based in the US, which played for me).
It works, thanks!
Hope you enjoy the show.
It’s a classic.
I think my favorite non-serious moment is when Deleen is introducing Draal to Mollari. A lot of the worldbuilding and character building happens in moments like that.
That or Garabaldi’s “beep beep”
Bah “not in your country”
OP provided an invidious link. Should work for you
