I used to enjoy Babylon 5 a lot, but only when I could actually watch a bunch in a row. People used to compare B5 to DS9 all the time, but even in the latter seasons you could theoretically watch individual episodes with no more than the obligatory "last time on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine." On B5, no way! You gotta watch all of them in a row if you're going to hope to see more than the barest scratched surface of what there was.
On a lighter note, one of my favorite moments of B5 was the scene over one of the closeing credits' (the anti-teaser?) It was just a guy, sitting, extending and compressing his force lance (or whatever it was). I loved the nonchalantness.
