Babylon 5 was great. It had great characters and spanned a huge galactic war that you actually feel the enormity of. In most sci-fi I've seen, massive wars are never really felt - you're just sort of told there's a big war on, and maybe see some generic footage of a battle. In B5 you see the subterfuge that goes on before war begins. You follow the entire military campaign, and the desperate diplomacy that goes on throughout. You see the political aftereffects of the war and how one can never really "win the war". There are hardly any fluff episodes in all of the 5 seasons. Nearly every episode advances the plot of the Shadow War to some degree. Damn, I think it's time for another Babylon 5 marathon!
