Product Description

Product Description

On the heels of the fifth and final season of Babylon 5--TV's hottest interstellar science fiction phenomenon--here is the newest volume in the definitive series of episode guides! Catch up on all the action, show by show, from the very beginning with the Babylon 5: Season by Season guidebooks.

As the action surrounding Babylon 5 reaches the boiling point,  Babylon 5: The Wheel of Fire sums up the last stunning season of the history-making series that started it all, thus setting the stage for the exciting B5 offshoot, Crusade. Episode by episode, Jane Killick offers a breathtaking look back at all the action, plot twists, and life-altering events that set the stage for the future of the Babylon 5 universe: Byron and his rogue telepaths' demand for a homeworld; Elizabeth Lochley's assignment as captain of Babylon 5; Sheridan's inauguration as president of the uneasy Interstellar Alliance; G'Kar's unwilling ascension to the role of messiah; and clandestine political intrigue on Centauri Prime.

Veteran viewers or first-time fans, relive the adventure--or find out what you've been missing--with the complete companions to Babylon 5!


Ingram

The final volume in the five-book set of episode guides to the smash series praised by "Newsweek" as "the most intelligent science fiction on television". 8-page color photo insert.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Guide to a Great Series, April 13 2004
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Babylon 5 was unique in television. The main plot for the entire series was mapped out before the show even started. As a result, it developed a loyal fan base that still loves it.

This book is the fifth in a series of five episode guides to the series. Covering the fifth season, it has a separate chapter for each of the twenty-two episodes. Each starts with a plot summary, but then goes into behind the scenes stories and commentaries. Through interviews with cast, crew, and creator J. Michael Straczynski, author Jane Killick is able to give a full picture of what went into each episode. Some of my favorite parts are the stories of bloopers or jokes the cast played on each other. I also find the summaries useful if I'm looking for a particular episode to rewatch. Since the fourth season finale was actually the first episode of the fifth season production schedule, it's actually the first episode discussed here, creating a bonus, twenty-third chapter.

Starting out the book are two essays. The first is a summary of just what the show accomplished over its five year run. While fans and those reading these books will find little new, it's nice to have it all summarized in one place. I especially like the page of quotes from cast members about what the show meant to them. The second in an introduction to the fifth season, painting broad strokes of the story arcs introduced and developed over the course of the season.

Any fan will love to have this well researched book for a behind the scenes look at a wonderful piece of science fiction television history.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading for the B5 Viewer, Nov 7 2002
By Jason Montgomery "Journ" (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Babylon 5: Season by Season guidebooks are an essential read for fans of the TV series. Containing photos, interviews, essays, and in-depth rundowns of each episode, each book is indispensable for B5 vets and newbies alike. Strongly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book series, but if you are new to the show..., Oct 24 2001
This is a really good book series for B5 fans. It makes a great companion & fun reading after you have watched each show. But I would recommend it mainly for those that have seen the series & are watching it again. The reason I say that is because it is laced with spoilers all throughout the commentaries. That's fine if you've seen the whole thing already, but it stinks if you are watching it for the first time. If you don't mind that sort of thing...go for it, but this is the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. For a good "non-spoiler" companion guide, I highly recommend The Babylon File: The Definitive Unauthorized Guide to J. Michael Straczynski's TV Series Babylon 5 by Andy Lane (Versions 1 & 2). He shows no mercy sometimes. If he does or doesn't like the show, he let's you know. But it's a blast to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A solid digest of the 5th season of B5
Compliments the other books in the series quite well. A bit less detailed than the 4 other series guides, in my view, but still a welcome non-on-line resource for the series.
