Summary: Better than I was expecting. . .
Review: Knowing that I'm a fan of Babylon 5, a friend recommended this book this book to me. I had my doubts about the book in the beginning. I was expecting a book that just contained plot summaries but I was pleasantly surprised. This book also contained bloopers, personal behind-the-scenes info, and critical reviews of various episodes. Overall, I enjoyed this book very much and would recommend it to any Babylon 5 fan.

Summary: To all BABYLON 5 fans: Don't miss this book.
Review: Not much to say. Just a superb job. It covers eve- rything a fan would like to know. This book makes the best sidekick and combined with the "A-Z Guides" should be the BABYLON 5 bible. Only a small complain Mrs. Lane: You could have waited a little bit more for the release of the book in order to have a full Season 4 guide, since now that Season 5 kicks in and with the new bias of the series the book would be something more than a required reading: it would be the ultimate purcha- se. What about a new updated version ?

Summary: A good reference for any fan of Babylon Five
Review: Overall, a very good book. It doesn't cover all five seasons (which it cannot since all five seasons haven't been broadcast yet)so I would assume another volume will be released when the show is over. One thing I liked about the reviews is that Andy Lane is not a fawning admirer of the show. If he liked the episode, he says so and why. If he doesn't like an episode, he tells you so and why he doesn't.

Summary: An excellent resource guide for B5 fans!
Review: The Babylon File is an excellent resource guide for anyone who enjoys Babylon 5 whether as a casual viewer or as a major fan. It includes information that would take you a long time to find through other sources plus an excellent essay by jms all for a reasonable price.

Summary: A must-have for babylon 5 fans!
Review: The best Babylon 5 episode guide ANYWHERE, plus a whole lot more. I only wish it didn't stop in the middle of the fourth season.

Summary: It just seems to be missing something...
Review: The book was quite detailed, but it leaves you off in the middle of season 4. The parts that were included were well written. It pointed out things you would not want to miss on the show, and it even told me when an episode was not worth watching.

Rating:
Summary: Fabulous for catching up on arc or just having fun!
Review: This book gives you summaries of episodes divided by plotline, plot A, B, C. It also gives you the Koshisms of that episode! Tells you what, if anything, concerned the arc in that episode. Only problem, doens't go through all seasons. I literally couldn't put this book down!

Rating:
Summary: If you only buy one B5 guide, then buy this!
Review: This book is incredibly thorough. You get a synopsis for each of the A, B and C plots in every episode; information on all the various literary references, and how each episode ties in with the story arc. It's simply the best B5 guide currently available.
