Babylon 5‘s best duo subverted sci-fi expectations and developed into the two of the show’s most compelling characters. Babylon 5 was a groundbreaking entry in the sci-fi genre when it debuted, focusing on a space station designed as an intergalactic port for peace negotiations and trade. As a result, the primary races of Babylon 5‘s universe populated the station with several ambassadors and other powerful leaders, setting up all sorts of dynamics for the show to explore across five seasons.
