I love Babylon 5. The twist of what the Shadow war truly is awesome IMO.

Unfortunately they thought the series was going to be cancelled after Season 4. I think that screwed up Season 5 immensely and made it the worst season. They ended a lot of story lines in Season 4 and Season 5 had to start up some new ones and it came off as slow and more political as the alliance is in it's infancy. Worse than Season 1 in many ways.

The last episode in Season 4 was meant to be the last episode of the series BTW in case you are wondering about it's weird placement.

Also interesting is that Straczynski claimed that Paramount executives used some of the ideas from the concept of Babylon 5 he pitched to them in the late 80s to develop Deep Space Nine, which is viewed as one of the best Trek series.
