I think B5 is one of the most important EPIC SCI-FI's of all time! Yes its a slow start but it just gets better and better with each season. Actually I was shocked when some ppl mentioned they didnt like it, but I figured they may believe to a previous generation which is highlighted by the 70's SCI-FI's mentioned..
I haven't enjoyed a TV Series as EPIC as B5 until the new Battelstar Galactica TV Series.
The special effects, yes are outdated today but when I first watched it on tv in the early 90's when I was growing up with my Amiga I couldn't believe the caliber GFX.. At that time I would be hooked on any TV shows with rendered GFX, like the cartoon series REBOOT.
For its day the GFX where amazing, well okay first season looks cheesy now but later seasons still satisfy me today.
So if you enjoy SCI-FI immensely then YES watch B5!
Ok for me what comes to mind as worse SCI-FI, it would have to be Andromeda. I never understood that show with ummm Hercules. (;
