I just finished watching the entire series on Netflix! Man, brings back memories... I didn't even watch the show until it was half way into the second season - my then girlefriend got me into the show... Claudia Christian is going to be a the Chicago Comic-Con next weekend...
Babylon 5 is a tv show and not a movie kylewhite. In any case it was one my favorite tv series ever. Good acting,great story lines with plenty of characters getting their time to shine. The only thing I would improve would be the production values.
Pros: Great plot that blew away any Star Trek series. Overall storyline had threads along the lines of Lord of the Rings. The humans represented the hobbits, the Minbaris were the elves, and the Shadows obviously Sauron. The weekly plots reflected current social, political, and economic issues...far from the utopia presented by the Trek universe.
Cons: much of the acting was awful. Michael O'Hare, Claudia Christian, and Doyle all had the same flat deliver. For a doctor, Richard Biggs just did not exude any authority. They were amateurs compared to Katsulas and Jurasik.
