I have to confess that I've never been able to get into Babylon 5. I've tried several times starting from the first episode but I've never found myself "sucked in". TBH it has always struck me as political soap opera with lots of makeup.
But as I said - I've never gotten into it, and I've read many times that it is great. So - I really want to like it.
I think I'd be in your debt if you sell me on it - at what point(s) might I be so into this show that I just can't stop watching?
I enjoyed Babylon but it's not something I revisit often. I feel the same way as you about Battlestar though. I watch it and my mind drifts away mid episode. I want to love it, I think it's a great story but something about the show keeps me from engaging fully. Makes me sad.
