Babylon 5

We have just completed a re-watch of the full run of all five seasons of Babylon 5, still for my money the best science fiction soap opera yet made.

My observation at this point is that despite the occasional hunks of cheese and the fact that it owes much to The Lord of the Rings it holds together better than any similar work of such length. Season one was rather better than my memory made it and season five was not a dead end. The final couple of episodes though, are unrelentingly sad.
