So I'm a huge Babylon 5 fan and I think it's the best Sci-Fi to never get the love it deserves. Any other fans of the show out there? If so, who is your favorite character(s) and what is your favorite season/moments?
Personally season 3 is my favorite, there was so many amazing moments in that season and I think the cast was at their best at this point. Season 1 to me is a close second as Jeffrey Sinclair was an awesome Captain and the season set up so much and had so many cool moments.
As far as favorite characters go, for me it's hard to say as I love so many. I will say this, I don't like Byron all that much. If there was someone who really pissed me off it was him.
So anyway, I'll shut up, talk about B5!

I guess no one agrees with you. I'm Deep Space Nine fan though but if it was still on Netflix, I'd give it a chance. Back in the 90s when it was on, it looked too weird and too cheap for me. I have a friend who's fan and kept recommending it to me but I didn't have a Netflix account then.

I got the first season back in December to finally check it out. I like what I've seen so far and I plan to check more of it out. It's always refreshing for me to watch non-Star Trek TV sci-fi, not that I dislike Star Trek.

I love star trek and I've loved it a lot longer than B5 but the multilayered plots and subtle builds to things sometimes seasons before they happened just blew everything I'd ever seen before out of the water. The special effects in season one made me laugh too but they do get better and the story telling is worth it. I'll second whoever recommended it before

I'll second whoever recommended it before Take for example when they had to rescue the people of Babylon 4 after it mysteriously reappeared back in season 1. Turns out that it was going to be used for something major in season 3 involving {Spoiler} the Mimbari and the Shadows. It was pretty damn amazing when I first saw it.

I loved the interaction between Lando and J'Kar.

I was extremely excited to watch it, but then it disappeared from Instant Streaming.

Oh god yes, this stuff was amazing and then also later on with the {Spoiler}Drahk/Shadow Technology stuff coming in Season 5. It was all perfectly set up and also tied in with the G'Kar/Londo stuff very well as well I loved the interaction between Lando and J'Kar. These two were one of the main reasons I was hooked onto the show, their storyline was some of, if not the, best story telling I have ever seen play out on screen. Amazing from start to finish. I was extremely excited to watch it, but then it disappeared from Instant Streaming. Yeah I think it's a real shame how it seems to have been kept away from the public. I know Sci-Fi shows it occasionally over here in the UK but I'm not sure what channel, if any, shows it in the US and I know it's not available widely on the OnDemand sites. I think Warner Brothers need to do something with the property. It's something that, if done right, could be a very successful franchise for the company.
