This analysis is spot on. It isn't just my pick for best Sci-Fi TV show ever, but best TV show ever. The level of detail, of character development, of world building - it was never done before, and no one since has matched it.

Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar - the orange-ish alien with all the make-up) is one of the greatest actors ever on TV (or in the movies, for that matter). His performances on Babylon 5 were simply amazing. His character's arc was astonishing, and he handled the part perfectly throughout.
These scenes are a small example of his fantastic performances...

I'll check out B5. I loved the Battlestar Galactica series. It starts slow (the first season has a lot of standalone episodes that seem like standard issue Sci-Fi, but there are tons of hints and nuggets of gold that pay dividends later on). By the end of the second season it becomes something truly great. The storytelling techniques have been copied since then, but the show holds up really well on a writing and acting level. I love The Shield and like Breaking Bad. I haven't seen The Wire, though. |
