Since I already posted in the comments I think I should introduce myself here too.
I came to B5 through recommendations by people I knew from Star Wars fan meetings. I first watched the autum 1997 week days afternoon repeats on Pro7 in Germany (it was good channel back then *mourns*) while I was in university and actually left some lectures early because I was not sure if I had programmed the VCR.....
Through other fans ( I actually was a member in a fan club with meetings and a magazine ,I think there still is one of my translations of English articles still on the Net somewhere) I managed to get season 4 as soon as the end of season 3 had redefined the term "cliffhanger". I didn`t really mind that the picture was beyond blurry through format conversion and numerous copying.
And season 5 I saw nearly in real time which means meeting every couple of weeks and watching tapes wherethere was as much involuntary movement on the pictuire as voluntary but loving the show and the experience of watching it with other fans.
I really miss that, I know very few people that share fannish interests in RL these days.
I think B5 is still my all time favourite show and fandom....
I was very sad when it went away especially as I could not follow many of my friends back then into other fandoms as they did not grip me this way.
I hope to keep up with the watching as my life currently can be very hectic.
And I HAVE to get B5 icons...I only have Season 4 who just now, as it was what made me delurk at least a little bit and get a LJ........
