B5's first season

[eruthros]

So here is the thing about Babylon 5: because of the kind of show it is, almost every episode contains at least five-ten minutes relevant to the arc, or crucial to characters. (Take, for example, Infection: mostly crap, with ten excellent minutes at the end. Or TKO: Soooo awful! Except the Ivanova scenes, which are great.)

So if you've got a friend who is going to watch B5, and who wants the arc, but is morally opposed to fast forwarding through the shitty parts (me: "no! honest! really! skip EVERY SCENE of Infection until the basic plot seems to be over! you can!"), what you have to do instead is instruct said friend to, you know, do some reading during the episode.

for serious, when it comes to scifi, I am willing to cut a lot of slack and give 'em a lot of time to grow into their show. And plus, I'm really, really easy to hook on a show, in general. I believe you that it will get better! I've watched plenty of bad scifi in my time - I used to have the space channel, which had a lot of canadian-made scifi shows, which doesn't mean they were BAD scifi shows or anything, but...uh...they were. plus, I made it through the first season of SGA! and most of the first season of SG1! so, anyhow, don't worry. I promise I will give it till the end of season three at least. *shakes on it*
