The
epic sci-fi series Babylon 5 was a unique experiment in the history of
television. It was effectively a novel for television in five seasons,
consisting of 110 episodes with a clear beginning, middle, and end. The
first season introduces the main characters, headed this year by
Commander Jeffery Sinclair (Michael O'Hare) and Security Chief Michael
Garibaldi (Jerry Doyle), and familiarizes the audience with the unique
environment of a five-mile-long space station in the year 2257. The
first episode, "Midnight on the Firing Line," plays at a breathless
pace, introducing Commander Susan Ivanova (Claudia Christian) and
establishing the conflict between the Narn and Centauri races as
represented by their ambassadors, G'Kar (Andreas Katsulas) and Londo
Mollari (Peter Jurasik). B5 hits warp speed with a run of exceptional
episodes building to the season finale. The two-part "Voice in the
Wilderness" has Mars breaking into open revolt against Earth and the
discovery of a "Great Machine" on the dead world Epsilon 3. Referencing
1950s sci-fi classic Forbidden Planet, the story leads to the superb
time-travel-based "Babylon Squared." Season finale "Chrysalis" proves
more than just the usual television cliffhanger, placing Minbari
ambassador Delenn in conflict with her ruling Grey Council and forcing
on her a decision that laid the groundwork for Babylon 5's eventually
becoming a great love story.
