Hi,
 
Aside from the really bad directing of some of the shows that grossly mis-use Christopher Franke's music, the show is actually good, and interesting. I would have been a bit more riske with it, to make things more appealing to a wider audience, but the show was stuck with too many poor choices, for directing and defining their next story, in my book.
 
There is no excuse to use anything, music or sound included as just a filler. It cheapens the product and hurts the overall design.
 
When you listen to Christopher's releases on his own, they are much better and have much more continuity that the series was afraid to touch.

i got the original Christopher Franke - Babylon 5 album
love it
 
 
 
but i dont think they miss used it. they was on a minimal, tight budget. so they had to do it this way, and i think it worked well...

its 10 years since last time i watch it. and now it is with friends who also love the show. makes it spesial. when the show was on telly, and when i first got the dvd, i didn't have friend who would watch it with me. so this is great. everyone has to be there so every one sees each episode in full.

No TV, no Netflix, no Hulu, no comment... 

To each of us there are things we hold special.
 
Commiserate with your clan!!!
 
Spread cheer across the land!!!

There were so many things I loved about Babylon 5. Some of the choices irritated me, but in general, I loved that show. 
 
Also, in my ever so worthless opinion, Firefly was one of the finest Sci-Fi shows of all time. The Fox execs who were too stupid to follow the plot and couldn't understand the basic premise should have volunteered to go into a self imposed exile for the remainder of their incredibly ignorant lives in order to spare society from the impact of their unbelievable idiocy.
 
That last part may just be my opinion, though.

+1 for Firefly. So many possible story lines that were never written. 

what about lexx?

Loved B5. Must have gone through it 3 or more times. I participated in forums with jms, the writer when it was originally airing. The character development was amazing. RIP Andreas Katsulas, he was simply amazing as G'Kar and by far my favorite character. I though Mira Furlan was excellent too, shame she didn't get some great movie roles after B5.

Firefly was also great. I got into it after it had run its short course. The dialog was incredibly funny. I like Whedon's stuff. He did a great job with the 1st Avengers movie too.

Hated BS Glactica. Hated the silly original as well as the tedious remake. I think they made it up as they went along. That's what I liked so much about B5. The story arc was create long before the last season and jms even hinted at how things would turn out. At the end, almost everything made sense.

Seriously though... FF was too heavy on the "space cowboy" schtick (at least ST TNG had the decency to keep that schlock in the holodeck) and heavy undertones of "the south will rise again!!" when what I REALLY wanted to see was those wacky skin eaters they were always talking about, Summer Glau going all freaky deaky mind bazooka-ey and some intense "China as the rulers of earth based spaced dwellers" action.
 
Then again I am an Andromeda guy which for some reason nobody likes.
 
Lexx is weird but certainly enjoyable (also... nice bewbs).
 
Actually... I should rewatch Lexx. Totally forgot about that one and haven't seen it in years.
 
Now let's talk about Red Dwarf. Because Red Dwarf is awesome... in a completely cheesetastic way.
