My husband and I are huge fans of Babylon 5 — we even named our cats Kosh and Delenn — but this attempt to revisit the universe was bad. In fact, we stopped watching partway into the second story. I just turned to my husband and said, “Can we stop this so I can retain my fond memories of the show?” Without another word, he hit the eject button, stuffed it in the envelope, and put it in the mailbox.Babylon 5 will remain my favorite scifi series (especially seasons 2-4), but I think that if I want to revisit what I loved about the show, I will have to go back to the DVD sets (I own all 5 seasons) and start over, watching the story arcs unfold and the characters grow and change. The heart of what made the show good is captured there. Nostalgic revisits to the universe cannot do it justice.
