The epic sci-fi series Babylon 5 was a unique
experiment in the history of television. It was effectively a novel for
television in five seasons, consisting of 110 episodes with a clear beginning,
middle and end. The first season introduces the main characters, headed by Commander Jeffery Sinclair (Michael O'Hare) and Security Chief Michael
Garibaldi (Jerry Doyle), and familiarizes the audience with the unique
environment of a five-mile-long space station in the year 2257. Captain John Sheridan (Bruce Boxleitner) arrived on Babylon 5 in the
first episode of season 2, "Points of Departure." The show marked the handing
over of command of B5 to Sheridan from Commander Jeffery Sinclair, actor
Michael O'Hare becoming a victim of studio politicians who wanted a bigger star
in the leading role.
