Babylon 5 (Season 5) 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 5) DVD features a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere No Compromises in which Sheridan is replaced when Capt. Elizabeth Lochley takes command of Babylon 5 and Byron petitions for her asylum to the sanctuary of Babylon 5. Meanwhile, a conspiracy evolves to assassin Capt. Sheridan at his presidential inauguration Other notable episodes from Season 5 include In the Kingdom of the Blind in which Byron lobbies to create a home world for telepaths, and Sleeping in Light in which Sheridan invites his closest friends to gather around him as he bids farewell to his waning life force (the series finale)
