I have to personally disagree on "Day of the Dead", which I found incredibly stupid and contrived. Almost Holodeck-esque in its way. Alas, views differ.

Well, I will confess I place a huge bonus on any episode that has Londo or G'Kar in it. The scene where they're trapped in the elevator and take potshots at one another is my favorite scene in the whole series. Favorite funny one, anyway.

I hope it helps. As you can imagine, person preferences come into play here, but it should be a good guideline.

The middle-ground is hard to tell, but I'll flat-out say the ones you can skip completely because they suck: The Paragon of Animals Learning Curve Secrets of the Soul A Tragedy of Telepaths Phoenix Rising Day of the Dead The Corps is Mother, the Corps is Father These ones have bits that are importan...

Well, really I think it's just that transition period which suffered. I cannot stress enough, episodes like "The Fall of Centauri Prime" are excellent and should never be undervalued.

Frankly, I wish instead of the telepath episodes, they'd hit it a bit more season-1 style and did more slice-of-life ones like View from the Gallery (which is an episode some people hate, but I enjoyed a lot). There were still plenty of things to be explored that didn't require half a season. You kn...

I think the ones that focus on Londo near the end (Movements of Fire and Shadow, etc. ) are still worth watching, but then again, Londo is just about the coolest thing ever.

Babylon 5 remains my favorite science fiction show, but I admit, I fast-forward through every part of Season 5 which involves the telepaths. Byron is as grating as a sandpaper turd, but frankly, I don't see Lyta as a much better character, partially because her actress was always much worse than Tal...
