Well Sinclair was in charge for two years in the end and of course he should have ran through the whole series, I never warmed to Sheridan so much but I always felt to some degree this was not about the humans, but every one else.

I still love Babylon 5. It was a great show with a lot of depth. It came out at the same time as DS9 and both centered on space stations so I thought they'd be similar. I couldn't have been more wrong.

Well as people might know there's been a long-running accusation between B5 and DS9 - in that DS9 is a rip-off of B5 from when JMS pitched the idea of Babylon 5 to them. Turned him down, and made their own - changed it just enough not to get sued. Compare it closely.

I think the similarities between the two shows ends with the fact that they are both open space ports and they both have a story-arc involving a war which portrays a less than Utopian Earth. Beyond that, they are two very distinctly different shows.
I've nearly completed my first run-through of the show (nearly done the last season), and overall, I've thoroughly enjoyed the show.

I really liked this series, but didn't really get into it until Sheridan took over. Never did like Sinclair... and I suppose I was a tad upset with the handling of Tomita's character after the pilot episode/movie.
But truly, the character I found most interesting was Zathras.
"Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other people's needs. Very sad life. Probably have very sad death. But, at least there is symmetry." -Zathras
