A thread for all hard-core Babylon 5 fans

Absolutely. I don't think I've ever seen a TV show that had a story line with more continuity than Babylon 5. I mean, take Voyager. It's not a bad show, but the 'story arc', so to speak, is really nothing but a background against which a number of episodes are set; even when something happens that somehow throws Voyager half way home, or whatever, it still doesn't really matter overall, whereas each episode in Babylon 5 seems to be important for the overall story. Voyager uses episodes as backgrounds to portray their characters; Babylon 5 uses them to flesh them out, to fill them in, to make them more real.

As I said, bestest sci-fi eva.
