[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] My advice: Yes, under certain conditions. You should start with The Gathering and watch the first season through the end, at which time you'll either be hooked or you won't. B5 takes a long time to introduce, but it's worth it. If you aren't hooked by the middle of the second season, not to mention the end, then you probably won't like B5. Of course, the mystery and the surprises will be slightly diminished since you've seen "In the Beginning"; then again, season one might end up being less boring as a result, and there's a lot that has to happen. Don't watch "In the Beginning" or "Thirdspace" until you're through with the first four seasons, and don't watch "The River of Souls" and "A Call to Arms" until you're through with the entire show. Then, you can go on to Crusade and Legend of the Rangers. As for the novels, definitely read "To Dream in the City of Sorrows" (99% canonical) after you've seen the first three seasons. Other novels worth reading are "The Shadow Within" (to be read after season three), the Psi Corps Trilogy, the Centauri Prime Trilogy, and the Technomage Trilogy (to be read after-season five). They're all fairly canonical because JMS wrote their outlines, although none come close to "To Dream in the City of Sorrows", which he checked line-by-line. There are a few canonical comics here and there, but they are pretty hard to find and much of their subjects were covered onscreen likewise. Boris [/QB][/QUOTE]
