This show was a big letdown for me. The writing is poor, and the acting is worse. I found it extremely difficult to achieve even the most mild level of emotional engagement with the characters or interest in the storyline. There were a handful of episodes (mainly those connected with the larger story arcs) that rose above the rest, (which is why I gave it two stars) but even the best episode in this season did not hold the interest for me of even an average episode of TNG or DS9. Special effects, audio and video were also nothing to write home about. To be fair to the creators of B5, I should say that I only watched the first season and other reviewers have commented that subsequent seasons are better, but after this experience I have little interest in finding out for myself.
