Just finished Babylon 5

Now what??

you watch deep space nine which quite literally ripped off babylon 5 entirely but still is a very good show

>Now what?

Despair that there will literally never be anything like it again.

Stargate SG-1 if you want something a lot lighter but definitely more fun.

It's literally just Lord of the Rings in space...

Read the Psi corps trilogy for more bester

...

But no show is ever going to devote as much time and effort to narrative world building (read: what made LotR so great) as babylon 5 did.

Better off just reading books written by alfred bester

Watch DS9 so you can see it done better.

only contrarians think DS9 is better executed than B5.

Nips did ok with

Ledgends of the galactic heros

As long as you can get passed the weeb factor

Their budget was bigger but fuck Trek is so damn boring.

Yeah I love how the dominion war just unsatisfactorily ends with a complete anti climax and then Sisko goes to have a DBZ fight in a cave with space Ratko Mladić who's been possessed by space satan.

Truly patrician television.

>unsatisfactorily ends
I havent watched ds9 but how could it be worse than B5's war conclusion

Shadow War was philosophical "think the way out of this" because they could not simply win it with force, while Earth Civil War was "crash boom bang" that delivered the explosions. It was two sides of the coin.

But that said... both storylines needed more time (especially the Shadow War and in the latter the rescue of Sheridan) but reality sucks. When you are 90% certain that you are cancelled since the network is bankrupt and going belly up... JMS did the best he could.

I mean fuuuuuck Intersections In The Real Time would have been bloody awesome season finale!

>Shadow War was philosophical
running out of money and retconning everything so it could end in a couple episodes is not a philosophy.

>Now what??

Battlestar Galactica if you're a drama fag.

Blake's 7 if you're not afraid of old shit.

Space Patrol Orion if you've got the guts.

Watch Babylon 6

It was rushed and poorly executed (partially probably due to the director who never worked in the show again). How would you have written the resolution for the Shadow War? Forces millions of years ahead of anyone else in the galaxy clashing together. You can't really fight them with small guns and win.

Read the Centauri Prime trilogy.
