"The ultimate in space opera"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is my second series 2 set as I wore the last one out (nah, someone snapped one of the DVDs). B5 is one of the best produced space operas ever: it is technically credible both in the technology and the special effects, with excellent acting and scripts. Where Season 1 introduced the characters and B5 itself, Season 2 starts to really develop the two main story arcs that continue on til the end of Season 4 – highly recommended.

Description

The long-running Emmy-winning television series Babylon 5 takes place in the year 2257 A.D., on an immense space station floating in a stationary orbit in a neutral corner of a distant galaxy. Manned by a crew of peaceful Earthmen and women, Babylon 5 serves as a non-political economic and social hub for the four alien races -- the Narn, Centauri, Vorlon and Minbari -- who fight to control the galaxy.

Babylon 5 was the first-ever television series to use extensive computer-generated imagery and to shoot and air in a widescreen format. The series rewarded fan loyalty and broke new ground by maintaining narrative consistency through a five-year story arc, and the show was singled out by NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and other noted institutions for its science-based treatment of futuristic space themes/technology.

Babylon 5 won two Emmys (for Groundbreaking Visual Effects and Makeup) and earned the Saturn Award for Best Genre Cable/Syndicated Series (1999) from the Academy of Science-Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.
