Babylon 5 was a groundbreaking sci-fi series that stands on its own without the benefit of a larger franchise like Star Wars or Star Trek.
The realm of science fiction has given birth to so many great shows that have shaped the fabric of pop culture. Star Wars has moved from the big screen to the small, with mostly successful results. Star Trek has once again cemented its place on television with fare like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Even new series like The Expanse and Silo have managed to become the topic of water cooler conversation.
'Babylon 5' Gave Birth to Most Of Prestige Television's Recurring Trends Babylon 5 managed to last five seasons, racking up plenty of awards and acclaim along the way. Even more surprising was that this was Straczynski's original intent; he planned for Babylon 5 to embody the five-act structure of a novel.What he didn't anticipate was the large role he'd play in shaping the series.
The Legacy of 'Babylon 5' Continues Alongside the final season of Babylon 5, Straczynski would script four made-for-television movies. One of those movies, A Call To Arms, ended with the Shadows deploying a weapon that would kill all life on Earth within a few years. John Sheridan commissions a vessel called the Excalibur to search for a way to reverse Earth's fate, leading to the spinoff series Crusade.
