i agree with this post

b5 dropped the ball a bit towards the end (lovely first half of season 5 anyway) and ds9 did some questionable things but i'll still rewatch both and enjoy them whereas so much of bsg related to arcs that weren't just fumbled but dropped into an empty nuclear missile silo then shat on from a great height that i have no desire to ever see it again

The very best Babylon 5 episodes (what people tell me were the very best Babylon 5 episodes, like hell I'm going to watch the rest to find out) are still terrible by non-nerd-TV standards while I distinctly remember stuff like 33 and uh I think that presidential election arc? being real good even if you never watched the last season (I didn't) so why even give a poo poo that the show winds up being terrible, this is like when people whine about how reboots of 80s franchises are "raping their childhood"

Like sorry if you didn't realise the show just wasn't going to get better again around the half-cylon messiah baby thing and bail but if you can't enjoy something you liked watching the first time anymore because you know one of its dozen B-plots gets resolved poorly twenty episodes down the road that's really all you homeboy

Babylon 5 was pretty ruined by the network telling Straczynski that they were going to cancel the show at some point in Season 3/4, so he rushed the ending of his metaplot, but then the ratings picked up and the network decided to keep running it, and he was like WELP

ppl try and defend the fifth season but the fact that everything straczynski made after babylon 5 was pretty bad i think proves that the man had one story to tell and that was babylon 5, so its a real shame we lost the original plan and full 5 seasons of the shadow war / liberation of earth

the last episode was really good but iirc that was filmed during the 4th season, cause otherwise it would have been the last ep of the 4th season
