Fan Review: Clydefamous
You know how there's been so much talk about what the writers of Lost knew and when, and were they making the show up as they went along? Well the writers on Babylon 5 knew from the start what was going to happen, chapter and verse, character by character and that's why Babylon 5 was a beautiful interstellar novel where each season we got a new chapter in its epic story. We're insanely lucky we got to see such great TV.
