Is the rest of season 1 at least magnitudes better than the pilot? Because the pilot is pretty goddamn unwatchable bullshit. Like, it's so bad it should have been on MST3K.
The first season gets measurably better every episode (although, in fairness, its pretty much starting from 0 on a 100 point scale with the pilot). Not that Sinclair gets any better as an actor, but everyone else gets better. I recommend watching season 1 while doing something else, and if you find you just can't stand any more of an episode, find some source to explain the episode and move on to the next. (Or you can play the season one drinking game: When you feel like you need a drink to keep watching, have two. It has the nice side effect of limiting how much of Sinclair's wooden acting you inflict on yourself at a shot)
It really does get a lot better after the first season.

The first season has some serious growth in terms of, well, everything. Not that Sinclair gets any better as an actor, but everyone else gets better.

I'd recommend the lurker's guide to B5 for any episodes you want to skip (or to get more info on):
I remember seeing an episode of Law & Order a few years back that had the actor who plays Sinclair playing the bad guy of the episode - he still had the same painful delivery / acting.
Ok, on episode 3 so far and I agree that it's definitely getting better compared to the awful pilot. So far it's not too bad. Most of the lines still fall pretty flat, but Ivanova's comment in episode 2 was good, "I'm Russian doctor. We understand these things."
Four lions, so I've heard, is amazing. I should watch it.
And yes I am the boss of you.

Bab5 pretty much ruined the Battlestar Galactica reboot for me.
It was good, but I kept going, "Man, if only you could take Bab5's great arc and story and tension and combine them with the production values of this".

even J'onn J'onnz?
j'onn don't count because all his proper earth names ain't got no stupid space foreigner apostrophes
also because I am a hypocrite
Dude takes out what is essentially The Predator by stuffing old earth bullets into a pipe, then igniting them with a broken steam pipe he holds onto.
guess I'll just stick to the real ghostbusters and jeremiah's first season for my jms tv fix
I feel as though this is the best thing
roddy piper is pretty much guaranteed to be radical in any acting thing he does.
The Ranger captain ordered into the suicide mission near the end of season 3.

The guy who put it together way back when collected every JMS Usenet post about every episode, which helps clear up some stuff.
Also i am a massive nerd.
I think that's season 4. You can verify it by Garibaldi's hair.
Huh, you're right - that's from "The Long Night". I thought it was from "The Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place".
Getting old sucks.
Because season 5 sucks you see.
Except for Sleeping in the Light.
and "Day of the Dead" was also good
But I just came off the back of six episodes of Fringe, and should probably go to bed.
Also, B5 for best names for episodes ever.
