 "Babylon 5" Summary
 
Babylon 5 was a ground-breaking SF show, the first to utilize a multi-season story arc aimed at dealing with its entire run. It was also written/plotted from the start as a "novel for television", with a clear beginning, middle, and end. And finally, it was a visual effects pioneer, being shot in th cinematic 16:9 rather than the standard 4:3 of TV, and all the visual effects were completely computer generated (CGI) in a time when models were still the standard.

In setting, Babylon 5 was also atypical, a change from its predecessors, in that it dealt not with a utopian society coming to grips with nature and the unknown, but with inherently flawed humans and aliens, their problems and conflicts, hatreds and likes. Others have followed suit, but Babylon 5 was the first.

There are conspiracies of light and shadow, choices made and consequences faced. For all the serious plot lines, there are plenty of moments of humor to lighten it (Watch for the episode where Douglas Adams asks Garibaldi to investigate his dog and cat, who have designs to take over the world).

An excellent show for those who seek a show of depth
