    Only worth watching for fans

    Despite this being the Babylon 5 pilot, it would be a mistake to introduce anyone to the series with this made-for-TV movie. Neophytes will be turned off by the terrible music and creaky acting, and would be much better jumping into the series proper.

    However, people already enamoured to the B5 story will be able to look past the flaws, and appreciate the rather good story covering the first days of the station's service. The fact that this ties neatly and intelligently into the major season one arcs will be all the more enjoyable for long-term viewers who happened to have missed this.
