- Babylon 5, sometimes abbreviated B5, is the name of a science-fiction TV series created by J. Michael Straczynski that aired from 1993 to 1998 and spawned seven film spin-offs. The series takes its name from the space station on which most of the show's events take place. Babylon 5 is so named because it is the fifth station to have been built for the Babylon Project (the other four either blew up or, in the case of Babylon 4, vanished mysteriously). The station serves as a neutral meeting point for representatives of the various alien races in contact with Earth during the time of the show, which is the years 2257-2262. Each season of the show covers one year.
- Babylon 5 was that show sci-fi fans watched when they wanted to prove to other nerds they were into less mainstream fare, but were too afraid to watch the other 90s shows like Odyssey 5 or Lexx. Created and almost entirely written by J Michael Stradarvarinskinikovski, the show was meant to be a novel on TV, which meant it was just like any other TV show except there was some tiny hook in most episodes that meant you had to watch it all so you could figure out that small hint of continuity to get the finale. So just like Bad Wolf.
- Dave Young once likened his own situation to a plot line from that series. When the Eighth Doctor told him that the Kulan might not wipe out mankind because Dave had traces of Kulan DNA in his system, Dave likened the Kulan to the Minbari, who called off their war with Earth because "they found that their souls were being reborn in humans." Babylon 5 was among the 20th century Earth television shows broadcast by Reef Station One in the New Earth Republic during the 101st century. (PROSE: Synthespians™)

So just like Bad Wolf. It's all about a bunch of aliens (some look kind of cool, others are just guys with shitty bed hair) hanging around Space United Nations, and how the entire galaxy depends on the whims of inebriated ambassadors. Then it turns out it was called Babylon 5 because the last four Babylons were blown up or thrown into the time vortex, and something about the Shadows, and this one alien wearing a shower curtain who only talks in riddles, yeah. First two seasons are slow as shit, with bad acting and plots that will make you roll your eyes (like Alien Jehovah's Witnesses or half a dozen episodes about why space racism is bad). Even when the first season finale promises something big, the main character gets replaced by that guy from TRON, and they essentially start all over again. But then by season 3, it suddenly becomes GOAT. All the way to season 4. Some might say season 4 suffers because JMS was forced to shove two season's worth of plot into that single year, but I suggest it gave the show a faster, tighter pacing that the show's earlier era desperately needed. You still have to watch the previous two seasons to get the full value though, which makes the show a hard sell for younger nerds who will drop a show if they don't like it by the third episode.

But that's not counting the Vorlons, who are beyond a doubt the most powerful and mysterious of all the known species—and they have a penchant for asking infuriatingly vague questions and never giving a straight answer.
- Babylon 5 is an American science fiction television series created, produced and largely written by J. Michael Straczynski. The show centers on the Babylon 5 space station: a focal point for politics, diplomacy, and conflict in the late 2250s and early 2260s. Unlike most contemporary television shows, Babylon 5 was conceived as a "novel for television", with pre-planned story arcs, and a defined beginning, middle, and end. The series is set in the 23rd century, largely on the eponymous five-mile-long space station. This had originally been designed as a gathering place for the sentient species of the galaxy, in order to foster peace through diplomacy, trade, and cooperation. Instead, it quickly became a center of political intrigue and conflict. At the beginning of the series, five dominant civilized species are represented on Babylon 5: the Humans, Minbari, Narn, Centauri, and Vorlons. Several dozen less powerful races form the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, including the Drazi, Brakiri, Vree, Markab, and pak'ma'ra. A number of early episodes focus on interplanetary politics and disputes. "The Shadows" and their various allies appear later in the series; and their machinations lead to interstellar war. Other plot threads follow the political situation within the Earth Alliance, as the Earth president is assassinated and his replacement sets up the Nightwatch, a paramilitary organization ostensibly formed to protect society. In addition, the Earth Alliance has an agency, the Psi Corps, that is responsible for all humans with paranormal abilities, who are required to either join the Corps, face lifetime imprisonment, or submit to a regime of drug treatments to suppress their abilities. Meanwhile, Mars Colony seeks its independence, by terrorist means if necessary. The pilot film, The Gathering, premiered on February 22, 1993, and the regular series initially aired from January 26, 1994 through November 25, 1998, first on the short-lived Prime Time Entertainment Network, then on cable network TNT. In addition, the Babylon 5 saga includes six television films; a spin-off series, Crusade (1999); and both comic and novel tie-ins, some of which are considered to be in canon. Adapted from the Wikipedia article on Babylon 5.

- The primary series, which ran from 26 January 1994 to 25 November 1998 after its pilot episode was broadcast on 22 February 1993, was the first truly successful American non-Star Trek futuristic space-oriented science fiction television series. Like Trek, there have been several attempts to create viable spinoff properties, including six made-for-TV movies and the short-lived series Crusade, featuring Daniel Dae Kim, Marjean Holden, and Tracy Scoggins. Enjoying a considerable measure of success while the original source series was being produced and aired, the franchise eventually faded into obscurity due to a combination of intentional sabotage by TNT, poorly considered money-saving maneuvers by Warner Bros. (including but not limited to the decision to save $5,000 per season and in the process make it impossible to produce a high definition version of the show, and the decision to produce wide screen versions of effects shots by recompositing later, which proved impossible after assets were lost), and internal Warner Bros. studio politics. The show continues to be available on Standard Definition DVD and has a cult following, but has not been syndicated since the early 2000s, making it hard for potential fans to discover and preventing a fan driven comeback such as was enjoyed by Star Trek. The series was widely acclaimed for its ambitious writing, much of it by Straczynski himself, who endeavored to tell a complex, predetermined epic story arc, in the form of the Shadow War, over the series' entire run, as opposed to the episodic (or two-part episodes at the most) story format until then employed for science fiction television series. It thereby convincingly dispelled the hitherto held belief by Hollywood studios that television audiences lacked the attention span to remain interested in a science fiction series format thus conceived. In service of that goal, the show had an innovative visual style, taking advantage of advances in computer animation to create spectacular fantastic (VFX) on an economical budget, most notably computer generated imagery (CGI), pioneered by Foundation Imaging, who later also provided VFX for the Star Trek franchise. The use of CGI in the series was a definitive breakthrough in creating VFX for television, much as the movie Jurassic Park was for cinema; it went on to become the primary technique. The series starred Bruce Boxleitner, who later went on to make an appearance on Heroes with Zachary Quinto, and Mira Furlan, who later had a recurring role on J.J. Abrams's Lost with Terry O'Quinn, Daniel Dae Kim, and others. The series also featured numerous Trek alumni in the cast as important recurring or regular characters, most notably Walter Koenig, Andreas Katsulas, Bill Mumy, and Patricia Tallman. Michelle Forbes' ex-husband Ross Kettle also did an episode.
