I enjoyed B5, although I was not too impressed with the character development during season 5. and Crusade was ok but we knew during it's run that a cure was found, we just didn't know how.

I would have like to have seen The Legend of the Rangers continue the franchise, but C'est La Vie.

I loved Babylon 5's first four seasons, was smart enough to avoid that quickly tacked-on fifth season, and continued it from the Call to Arms movie and eventually Crusade. Crusade was just getting its legs when TNT realized suddenly that sci-fi television is more expensive than non-sci-fi shows and canceled it.

Legend of the Rangers had potential, but not enough to satisfy The Powers That Be.

I kind of doubt that there will be any future Babylon 5 movies for the foreseeable future, since the show's creator and primary driving force--JMS--has said more than once he's finished with B5 and has moved on...

I loved Babylon 5. At one point I even put it slightly ahead of Star Trek(DS9) was airing at the same time. For me Babylon 5 will always be my #2 of all time under Star Trek.

I enjoyed Bablyon 5. Only got to see its premiere movie, and "Babylon 5 The Beginning" as far as movies went though, and I loved those (The Beginning even moreso.)

Never did get to see any of the movies, miniseries that went beyond it though.

I always loved the banter between Londo and G'kar (the late, great Andreas Katsulas). The episode where there were explosives going off on B-5, and Londo and G'kar were trapped in the elevator, that was some funny stuff amid the chaos.

The thing is even though Londo and G'Kar were enemies they grew to respect each other in a very compelling way.

Then a small part of Babylon 5's mission was achieved.
