| User ReviewJeffrey M"The Gathering", great 2 hour TV movie which is the pilot for "Babylon 5". Great way to start up a great science fiction TV series. |
| User ReviewMartin MIt began one of the greatest SciFi series of all time. |
| User ReviewAndrew EAnd so it begins... The greatest TV show ever. Well I think so anyway. This show has moved me in a way that others could not and this is where it all began. It is important to start out on the right foot and I can say that B5 did just that. Amazing show! Watch it and enjoy. |
| User ReviewJulian OGreat movie, great story, and Great Acting |
| User ReviewJonathan KAlthough many believe this not to be a good start to the Babylon 5 series, it isn't as bad as it appears and raises important questions about the characters which by watching the series get answered (for the most part anyway). It is well known that series pilots in general tend to get slammed before the series itself is given a chance. In this case it is much different and well worth watching before watching the subsequent 5 seasons. |
| User ReviewCraig SExcellent pilot at the beginning of the best Sci-Fi series in the world! The special effects still look wonderful despite the series' age. |
| User ReviewDavid AShort and sweet, but the whole series fills in a few gaps in this short pilot. |
| User ReviewEric ABig fan of B5 series and spinoffs. The characters are real with relatable flaws. Great story line and sub pots. I wish it had gone on for longer than 5 years. I even loved the crusade series. You've got humor, love, revenge, racial issues are dealt with and the great thing about it...how compromise and peace are always being worked at/toward for the benefit of EVERYONE! |
