We have seen a lot of the Drazi Sun Hawk in season five, usually being blown up by the Centauri! For a cruiser it is very small and can only house one fighter.
Read moreThis was a tense opening episode. It introduced new characters and situations.
A cool graphics sequence opens the 5th season of Babylon 5 as the new Commanding Officer of Babylon 5 Captain Lockley, arrives through the jumpgate.
Read moreAnother quite tense episode, a little frightening and also a little bit too close to US formula TV for my liking. Not enough sex, violence and special effects like the last episode, I hope things hot up soon.
Read moreis it me, or is this series starting to get you all worked up too? Things are not too clear, there are many unanswered questions and alliances that should be solid are very fragile indeed. I almost dread seeing the next episode.
Read moreThis was a relatively good episode, the storyline was a lot tighter and although it suffered yet again from the introduction of another poor character, on the whole, sci fi SadGeezers should enjoy this one.
Read moreThe best thing about Mr. Morden is that he is dead. Don’t you just hate it when you do a review of someone and they die in the next episode. He got clobbered soon after a delightful conversation with Vir on Centauri Prime in Season 4.
Read moreBester is an absolute tosspot and well played by Walter Koenig of Star Trek fame. He really looks the part doesn’t he? He is a high ranking Psi Cop and completely dedicated to the Psi Corps. He has one of the highest telepath ratings on... Read more
Lyta interned with the PsiCops, but wasn’t rated high enough to be one herself (all PsiCops are P12). Her rating is that of a P5 (not particularly high). She became Babylon 5’s first commercial telepath in 2257. Her Psi rating... Read more
The Shadows are thought to be the oldest race in the Galaxy. Their real name is supposed to be 10,000 characters long and unrepeatable by humans. A bit impractical don’t you think?
Read moreOne of the best things about the Vorlons is that nobody knows much about them. They are uncommunicative and more than a little aloof. You wouldn’t pick a fight with a Vorlon, then again, you wouldn’t buy one a drink either.
Read moreThe Narn are a much-persecuted race. They were relatively peaceful and well ordered with an abundance of natural resources.

The people of the Drazi Freehold are hermaphrodites, that is, they have both male and female genitalia (I knew you knew what an hermaphrodite was, I just wanted to explain it OK!) They are violent and bad-tempered and humans tend to look on... Read more
The Brakiri are a night-dwelling race who, like the Gaim has risen in prominence because of membership of the InterStellar Alliance. Previously they have had alliances with the Shadows but after fighting their wars for them, the Brakiri looked... Read more
There seem to be at least two types of Drakh. one appeared in the episode “Lines of Communication.” He sort of shimmered and looked like the McDonald’s Hamburglar from hell. The other type first appeared in “In the Kingdom of the Blind”.
Read moreOf all the characters in the series, I feel most affinity for Londo Mollari. He is played exceptionally well by Peter Jurasik and is probably marginally ahead of Ivanova as being the wittiest of the Babylon 5 characters. He has certainly got... Read more
Although Ambassador Delenn (played beautifully by Mira Furlan) seems to be righteous and aloof, she is also a bit of a rebel. She was once a member of the Minbari ruling body (the Grey Counsel), and underwent a physical transformation that... Read more
Sheridan is now the President of the Alliance. he is still based on Babylon 5 but has relinquished control of the ship to the new Captain Lockley. He does however have control of political decisions on the Station.
Read moreThis is the latest way of travelling through space without out the need for all that tedious jumping in and out of hyperspace. The principal of generating finite amounts of improbability are so bloody obvious that I wont go into them here.
