    B5 is great almost all the way, the last season (5) is not as good as the rest.

    There's a reason for that: When JMS first created the series, he intended to have a five-season story arc. However, stuff happens and he was forced to do it in four. When he learned he could have a fifth season, he had to scramble to come up with a new arc. It wasn't bad, but it did feel a bit disjointed. It's still one of my favorite sci-fi shows.

    I wonder about shows when they have a conflict between money and
    continuity and story.

    The New Girl's penultimate season ended with the resolution of a
    relationship between the two characters and two others getting married.
    Would have been a great ending to the show - and was intended to be.
    Then, they were greenlit for another season, did a time jump, moved out
    of the house they were in, the married couple had a kid -- very
    disjointed.

    Ted Lasso ended up in a good place with resolutions for most of the
    main characters in a supercut scene, Ted going back home to the US and
    settling in with his family, and a potential hook for another season,
    but should have ended there.

    There's going to be another season, curious to see how they tie things
    up again.

    I have the complete BSG series in blue-ray, i don't know if it is from 2

    If it had Lorne Green, it was the original BG from '78. The better of
    the two series, IMO.

    I totally agree with you Mortar. The originals are always better. I have yet to see reboot that was better than the original show.

    To most of today's social media posters, this looks normal.
