Just finished the first 2 episodes of "Babylon 5". A really old show, but I find the plot good. Didn't really understand the different races and the interactions as a "background", but the show did a really good job of filling me in.

Where did you find those eps? I have been searching everywhere for this show.
Sent you a PM. Umm.. is it really that hard? Like, have you tried the usual ... less "hospitable" places?

Be sure to differentiate between the Babylon 5 pilot, and the series season 1 first episodes.
As a Babylon 5 fan, it is important I point out to you that the premier pilot episode was done over a year before the series, and as such a number of things changed in details, but not in overall perspective.
Biggest change is probably the fact actress Claudia Christian (as character Ivonova) replaced the second in command that was in the Pilot.
It is a good series, I love it dearly I not only have the series on DVD, I still have my Security and Tech Manuals and some novels. But its one flaw is that unlike Star Trek, it is *not* episodic format... it is soap opera format.
What that means here is that if you watch this series, it is vitally critical you watch it *in order*, or you will not understand what is occurring. With Star Trek, with exceptions, like the DS9 Dominion war arc, you can afford to skip around and it is not too bad, that will not work here.
FYI
Sinclar is commander in pilot and Season 1
Sheriden is commander for Season 2-4
Lockley is commander for Season 5
