Which season intro do you think was B5's best?


I'm going to say Season 5's, though Season 4's is a very close second.

I'm going with Season III... very dark. :twisted:

Season 3. The Opening Theme had a real sense of urgency and desperation about it.

Season 3 so far but I'm holding off on voting until I'm to season 5.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

I liked the lower pitch theme tune of season one, but the desperation and combat in season three's just canna be beaten.

Where I liked 3, I liked 4 just a little bit more. I loved seeing everything coming together.

I really like the Season 5 intro. The tendency of the others to sort of tell the premise of the show that far was cool but also really cheesy for some reason. Season 5 was both epic and subtle/less cheesy than the others. Season 5 was really interesting for me because of how the first half was kind of recovering from some of the things that went unplanned. But particularly in the second half, when a few characters' destinies became apparent and things started getting wrapped up. I just remember how overwhelmed I felt with memories of the series as I watched the intro for that season. Gosh, finishing up that show was a really emotional time for me, as silly as that may sound.

It sounds not at all silly. I agree with you wholeheartedly. It was emotional for JMS to write it.

When it comes to the story line, B5 is the best scifi show out there. It would be silly if it didn't have some effect on you, being a fan of course.

Definitely an amazing show. I finished it around the time that Andreas Katsulas died, so it was even more significant to me. I must say my favorite part of the whole story was the Londo/G'Kar relationship.
Gosh, that show was ended so brilliantly. Every character addressed and given a great story. I can't wait to go through this show again.

Its rare to have a show you can watch from start to finish, over and over while loving it every time. B5 was just that kind of show.
