Your comment was great timing, I've been watching the first season and it's been starting to grow on me, but I really wasn't sure if I would stick with it. It's crazy that it came out 7 years after Star Trek TNG, but still somehow aged so much worse.

The effects on B5 got noticeably better each season.

This was simply because it used all-digital effects in a time where the same budget would buy you twice the rendering time a year later.

I think season 1 of B5 is way better than season 1 of TNG, with the exception that TNG's pilot was way better.

I'll have to ask my wife, she hadn't seen either until adulthood.

If you find anything worth watching in Season 1, then please, stick with it. The later seasons are worlds better.
