YMMV / Babylon Five S 01 E 00 The Gathering

• Slow-Paced Beginning: Even in its special edition which was hailed as a big improvement, many fans agree that the film is slow, dull, and quite an inauspicious start to the series, and recommend going right into the first season, even though this means you miss some slightly important stuff. It's also been noted to play much better after you've seen the rest of the show, as you already have an attachment to the characters.
