BABYLON 5!!!

...Umm. Just wanted to get that in there. [livejournal.com profile] naye will probably jump in to corroborate. I didn't know you hadn't seen the whole thing - it's definitely worth rewatching. Still is almost unique in its storytelling, for being a complete and planned story, beginning to end; it's got its flaws, but when it comes to EPICs nothing tops it. (Avatar manages the same, but it's much shorter and had anime influence to draw on...) If I'm really pushed I'll probably still put B5 as my number one favorite TV show of all time.

Sentinel, on the other hand, is...umm...I was into it hardcore and I don't think I actually ever watched every episode. Partly because it was harder to get hold of back then and partly because, well...even when I was into it, it wasn't that good. ^^;

--Oh, I originally was popping in here to say that the 4th season slide isn't just illusion; a lot of shows go downhill after s4-5. ST:TNG definitely dipped in its last couple, X-files as mentioned, SG-1...(though SG-1 went on for so long that it actually went back up again in the last couple seasons, in my opinion, which is an interested phenomenon...)

SGA doesn't seem to be slumping yet...I wonder if it's partly because SGA sort of reinvents itself every season? Watching the whole thing all at once, the show has a drastically different mood/theme every season, keeps things on its toes?
