I'm actually watching Babylon 5 right now (Roku TV). To me, it's basically a slightly worse DS9 (NOT AN INSULT) with really weird 3DCG. Mid Season 2 right now, as things are getting ready to ramp up to the Great War (I've seen a few things about it, but I suppose that'll be the climax of the series?).
Babylon 5 has more hard science fiction ship models for the earth faction, and the political intrigue is much more gritty, seedy and realistic, than the utopian/pacifistic DS9 counterpart.
But Babylon 5 was limited by a shoestring budget, ham-acting (and at time scripts) and poor CGI. It still did a good job rivaling DS9 and eclipsed it as well at several points in its run.
One thing I'm curious about- was Delenn's transformation a matter of prosthesis allergies (think Rev Bem in Andromeda), or was it intended to happen all along?
She was supposed to transform from a 'man' to a woman, but they wisely scratched those plans.
Man there's a series I could both rant and rave about. I took a break in the middle and came back later and it was like a completely different TV show.
Andromeda's last season was also shit. I liked awkward sun girl, but she was reaching Mary Sue territory. And the setting they were stuck in that whole season was awful.
