4.0 out of 5 stars A big leap forward from season 1, August 13, 2011
This review is from: Babylon 5 Season 2 (Amazon Instant Video)
Fascinating, sometimes maddening mix of wonderful and silly,
intelligent and dumb, insightful and obvious.

At it's best it's the 'Wire' of science fiction, challenging
'Battlestar Galactica' for intelligence and emotional depth.

The most interesting thing; this was an early case of a series having a
pre-planned multi-year arc, so throughout there are sometimes intentionally
confusing or mysterious details that return to be finally explained as
having great importance a season or two or three later.

On the other hand, because this preceded the acceptance of truly serial cable shows,
each episode is more self contained than more recent shows in a sometimes annoyingly
neat way.

The show is also full of allusions; Shakespeare, the Bible, Buddhism,
King Arthur, the Koran. Certainly the writing is grounded in pretty
heady stuff.

Season 2 brought in some stronger cast, and somewhat better effects.
The stories in season 2 continued to be a mix, mostly quite good, a few
great, and some subplots that were to be honest, dopey. But overall it
remained pretty riveting, with lots of interesting allusions to history
and philosophy. And it was great to see characters that seriously
evolve as the show goes on.

5.0 out of 5 stars All of Babylon 5 is great watching if you are a sifi buff., April 21, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Babylon 5 Season 2 (Amazon Instant Video)
I like all sifi but this one is grat and at least has a following to the main story not like the others. Witch change form one story to the next even DS9 and Star Trek TNG or just Star Trek.
