The humans aren't alone they occupy the universe with mysterious races like the Vorlons, Shadows, and Minbarie. The people of Earth have at this point come together in corporation to form a world government known as EarthGov. It is set in a world where humans are now a space faring race, capable of crossing the galaxy in months using a technology called a Jumpgate. but when he says he's getting his men, you know there's not a force in the universe that could stop him.WOW is the word which best describes this program! It is an epic story of legends in a world that is believable interpretation of the future two and a half centuries from now.

He is a man that you see crying, you see him drunk, you see him puking on himself, you even see him getting stoned on one occasion. And in my opinion, Adama is the best 'captain' in sci-fi, Edward James Olmos is magnificent in the role and brings it a power and humanity that is hard to match. There's some brilliant characters and relationships on the show, my two favourites being Dr Baltar, the narcissistic genius that is perpetually haunted by the image of his former Cylon lover, and Colonel Tigh, the drunk XO. This is why seasons 1 and 2 are regarded as being the best, at that point the show focused almost solely on the human fleet while the Cylons were a mysterious force that featured mainly in the background. And that doesn't even include the glowing spine thing that was retconned away as not being literal.Д«SG is at its best when dealing with the humans in the fleet and how they struggle to survive and relate to one another. For example, the humanoid Cylons are supposed to be almost identical to humans to the point where it's extremely difficult to tell them apart, yet they can control machinery by sticking a fibre-optic cable into their arm and have some sort of transmitter to upload their personality to a new body when they die. Almost everything about the Cylons was made up on the fly and trying to justify it requires much willing suspension of disbelief. The Cylons in particular are a poorly conceived villain, largely because they were barely conceived at all. That tagline was a gimmick to hook viewers, the show makes much more sense if you accept that the Cylons are just winging it from the start.)Д¬lick to expand.It's a good choice, just be prepared to forgive the show for its many mistakes. (And if you do decide to give BSG a go there is one important thing you should know: The Cylons did not have a plan. BSG had three staff writers from DS9 working on it (and one from Voyager), but B5 is closer to DS9 in setting and tone. They're both very good shows with unique advantages and disadvantages. Also contrary to B5, the first season and a half are the show's strongest (although there's still much to enjoy in season 3 and 4). Contrary to B5, the show is extremely polished and looks fantastic, but the story arcs weren't planned out and in season 3 it becomes a big mess that's difficult to justify. All the characters have flaws and they struggle to overcome those flaws in order to survive and make it to the mythical planet of Earth. The show is almost as far away from the utopian vision of humanity as you can get, it boils down to humanity trying to survive on overcrowded ships while Cylons try to blow them up at every opportunity. There's no aliens, there's just humans and Cylons (with hints of an external force that I can't tell you about because it would be a spoiler). It's a bleak show, which it should be because it's about the genocide of the human race. Season 1 isn't very good, there's plenty of bad episodes in there and it's very cheesy, but by the end of season 2 the show had improved a lot.Д«SG is very different. It's not quite as polished as Trek, but the show has a lot of gusto and the plot holds together very well as it was all planned out in advance. It's not a utopian future, humanity as a whole are not virtuous, but the human cast are all pretty much good people while the alien cast evolve over time. Babylon 5 is much closer to Trek and shares many elements with DS9 ( ): a space station, interstellar wars and a healthy dose of character development.
