I didn’t realize it, but GeekDads has a good reminder…
Today, in 1993, history was made…. Â Babylon 5’s pilot debuted. Â I still have it on VHS… Â Hopefully we will eventually see more from the Babylon 5 universe, after all, it’s given us 5 direct to DVD/TV Movie’s… Â And 5 seasons of the TV series…
Overall, I give the entire series 8.5 out of 10 on average.
