[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mucus: [QB] Hmmm, for a quick introduction into B5 working only with S1. (for the casual viewer) Midnight on the Firing Line: View. Have to agree with others, this is a good introductory episode...moreso than "The Gathering" because they won't have to deal with confusing cast changes. Soul Hunter: Skip. Interesting, but not really too special. Born to the Purple: Skip. Good for the Londo fans, but not for a casual viewer. Although it gives insight into his character, its nothing that other episodes don't do better. Infection: Skip. The Parliament of Dreams: Interesting and amusing. Probably view. Mind War: View, especially for the Trek fans. If in a hurry, view after watching the rest of S1 (excepting Chrysalis) since its really setting up material for later seasons. The War Prayer: Skip. And the Sky Full of Stars: The first definitely view. Sets up the whole Minbari war act, Valen, etc. Deathwalker: Skip. Amusing end, not totally necessary. Believers: Probably skip. Very amusing and thought provoking end, definitely nothing you'll see in Star Trek...but again, not very necessary. Survivors: Skip. Homeguard into, but Chyrsalis will do that with more style for the casual viewer. By Any Means Necessary: Skip. Seems to setup threads that aren't followed up anyways. Signs and Portents: Must view. Enough said. :) TKO: Skip. One nice line for the fans, but blah to the rest. Grail: Skip. Lukewarm reaction. *shrug* Eyes: 50-50. Helps roundout Survivors and Chysalis, but eh. Its got a pre-Weyoun Weyoun though. Might help with the DS9 fans ;) Legacies: Skip. Introduction of Nerron, but nothing that can't be picked up. A Voice in the Wilderness (I and II): Maybe, sets up later seasons. Same idea as Mind War. Babylon Squared: Definitely. Especially if you put it after "And a Sky Full of Stars" Heh. Mess with their heads. The Quality of Mercy: Skip. Seems to be here just to setup Marcus' eventual *cough*. Chrysalis: Definitely View. Enough Said. Final Tally: 5 Must View: Midnight, Sky Full of Stars, Signs and Portents, Babylon Squared, Chyrsalis. 4 Necessary for later: (if the first four "must view" go over well): Parliament, Mid War, Wilderness I and II 3 for the surprisingly enthusiastic: Legacies, Deathwalker, Believers, Eyes Not bad. A quick intro to the best science fiction TV show in under four "must view hours." Not bad :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
