I don’t know about that watch order for Bab5. The first season was uneven but I feel like it’s a critical introduction to key characters and themes. I wouldn’t recommend anyone leap right in to the Garibaldi and Delenn situations for example. Back in the day there were lists passed around about key episodes to watch vs what could be skipped — and they were highly contested because mostly even the worst episodes had at least a scene that you’d later be rewarded for watching.
Anyway I think the better order is something like a select 1/3-2/3 of season 1, seasons 2-4, and the last episode of season 5 (which for reasons was originally shot as the ending of season 4).
Season 5 is only for if you loved S2-S4 and need more even if it’s not as good. It isn’t bad, it just feels weird with the main arc of the show resolved.
Lost up until Season 6.
Walking Dead up until Negan.
Firefly, all of it.
Babylon 5, start with Season 2-3-4 then go back to 1.
Really enjoying “From”. But there’s a drinking game:
Every time someone asks “Hey, are you OK?” the answer is “Naw, man, I’m pretty fuckin’ FAR from OK.” abd take a drink.
