@Kris Johnson I think the first season of “Bab5″ is on Hulu right now. Though I don’t want to distract you from Buffy. “Rushed” isn’t quite the right word to describe its 5th season though… Maybe, “disjointed”. They actually filmed the final episodes during the 4th season because they didn’t know if they were going to get picked up for the 5th season.

Also, Buffy jumps the shark a few times but it always manages to turnaround and stake the shark through the heart as well.

I haven’t seen Buffy either, but I also want to watch Babylon 5.

Wetropolis? No. Just, no.

@RiverRatMatt — I've never seen Babylon 5 either (I know, my Geek Cred just took another hit), but most folks I know who are fans say it got a little rushed in Season 5 and suffered for it. Maybe after I'm done with Buffy I'll move to Babylon.

@Elena — That does seem to be the consensus. I'll definitely be watching all of Season 1 and likely continuing with the remainder of the series. If there's any shark-jumping in the latter seasons, I'm going to be miffed.

@Wesley — Apparently the official term is "Water-Scraper", which doesn't exactly float my boat (pun entirely intended). How about "wetropolis"?

“Bottom Scraper” sounds bad (And a bit scary for those on the lower floors). I actually like “Floating City”

I hope you’ll go on watching because “Buffy” becomes better with each season.

I ♥ Buffy. I’m man enough to admit it, I really loved watching the entire run of the show. I even own the CD for the musical episode “Once More With Feeling” and, to my wife’s dismay, know the lyrics well enough to sing it.

Don’t give up on it during Season 1! It suffers a bit of “Babylon 5 Season 1-ism” where the show is high on ideas and occasionally misfires on their execution. Season 2 introduces some of the best characters to be written in geek “genre” tv woven into a storyline that had to have inspired Twilight. There’s your warning of where most of my geek friends have gone astray. Keep going, it’s worth it!
