Babylon 5 S 01 E 00 The Gathering

  • Narm: In the scene that was deleted from the special edition, the station's alien section is a corridor where aliens portrayed by puppets are standing behind glass panels where their specific environmental needs are being maintained. Word of God says that these were supposed to be "front porch"-like areas for the aliens' living quarters, but the whole thing just ends up looking like a zoo.
  • 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.
