Not as bad as you might think: Babylon 5 is ‘only’ 25.
Babylon 5's pilot movie, The Gathering, first aired on February 22, 1993.

I know, I know: I’m still being a moon-faced assassin of joy. Can I be honest with all y’all? I enjoyed Babylon 5 a lot, and I liked the main characters just fine. But I watched it for Londo. And G’Kar. Garibaldi, of course. Ivanova, goes without saying. Named a RPG character after Marcus, so obviously him. And I’m disgusted that you would even think that I forgot Vir.
Huh. I was expecting that list to be shorter — oh, crud, yeah, Bester. Of course Bester. Geez, Moe.

Peter Jurasik and Andreas Katsulas stole every scene they were in.
I actually enjoy Stephen Furst’s portrait of Vir Cotto. A righteous man in a corrupt court who struggles to stay on the path while his country goes hell in a handbasket and his mentor went down the path of evil. And he end up trying to clean up the whole mess.
Vir is awesome.
No love for Kosh?

You’re not going to mention Zathras? Of course, Zathras has a very sad life.
Zathras is used to being overlooked. It is, indeed, Zathras’ fate in life.
So get this–it turns out you can finally see the show: it’s on some streaming service named go90, free. You don’t even need an account, apparently.
That beats the $2/episode it costs everywhere else.
