Babylon 5 (Season 4) DVD Review

Nominated for 6 Emmys and 3 Hugo Awards in its five-season run, Babylon 5 changed the landscape of the TV science fiction series genre. Following on the heels of hit series such as Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation, Babylon 5 is unrivaled by any of its peers in its application of special effects. The brainchild of J. Michael Straczynski (writer for such shows as Murder She Wrote and Walker, Texas Ranger), the hour-long sci-fi drama series breaks new ground by deploying a five-season storyline that follows the outline of a traditional novel. As such, Babylon 5 is more like a mini-series that lasts five years instead of the usual three to five nights. And also unlike its predecessors, the series showcases original advanced technologies, believable alien characters (who speak alien and not English), and boasts of superb costume and makeup. Premiering in mid-season 1994, Babylon 5 established a solid audience and continues to inspire new generations of fans via synd icated reruns on cable

The Babylon 5 (Season 4) DVD features a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere The Hour of the Wolf in which Capt. Sheridan and Garibaldi are both missing and presumed dead in the aftermath of the Z'ha'dum explosion. Meanwhile, Londo has taken on a new job as a security advisor to the emperor of the Centauri Republic Other notable episodes from Season 4 include The Illusion of Truth in which a pack of ISN reporters arrives on Babylon 5, incurring Capt. Sheridan's wrath and later his blessing, and The Face of the Enemy in which Garibaldi betrays the trust of his former commander, Capt. Sheridan, setting a trap for him and using Sheridan's father as the bait
