Title: Past its prime
Product review: I remember B5 when it first came out. It was a great series in a desert of unimaginative TV sci-fi programming. I loved it and it was a feature in the short-lived fanzine, Split/Image, which I published back in the 90s. BUT the times have changed. While trying to rewatch old taped programs I have realized that the old charisma is simply no longer there.Subject matter seems lame and irrelevant and even boring though i enjoy the antics of some of the characters.This is a different age for a different audience. B5 is best left the relic it has become. If you purchase these videos be sure to understandtheir place in the evolution of the genre as they do stand as a testament to a time when G'Kar and Mollari were the only game in town!
