while i count myself a a fan of the babylon 5 television series and the original movie that introduce the series be a weak start . although many of the element that would later mature and become much more compelling in the series be there and the pace of the gathering be slow and the makeup somewhat inadequate and and the plot confuse . bad and the characterization in the premiere episode be poor . although the rating chart show that many fan be willing to overlook these problem and i remember the gathering almost turn me off off what soon grow into a spectacular series .
