Top 5 spaceships.

and yes, i'm a huge b5 fan... i think it was the best sf tv show of all time

b5 is underrated and was quite good, especially if seen in sequence and not just one off episodes. However, the new BSG was amazingly good. Even people who didn't like sci-fi loved it.

 

And while decidedly more campy and less dramatic (hence almost a different genre), I prefer Firefly to B5 as well.

At what point does one get sucked in, shall we say, with B5? I had the first season on DVD, but despite my efforts and everything I heard, about halfway through the season I was not interested enough to continue.

 

Firefly is a wonderful show, and it's our loss that only 14 episodes were made.

 

Having said that, I'm a Trekker to the core, so my list of ships has the original Enterprise and the Defiant on it. The most interesting ship in the unofficial Star Trek universe might be the Titan, but since it only exists in a few books, it probably does not qualify.

The first season of B5 is mostly introducing the characters of the epic story told in season 2-5.

exactly right... the first season had to be more endured than enjoyed... but the next 4 years were worth it... and firefly was very good, i wish they'd given it 5 or so years also
