which series had you watched up-to? I'd only missed the last series due to the sheduling and incorrectly being listed as a repeat. Consulsting co-pilot it indicated will get to that in september. perhaps you should ask it when the series you did not get to watch first time-around would start?

Part of me would dearly like a bout of selective amnesia so I can experience the show again without knowing what's going to happen. But then I wonder, would it really be the same experience me watching it now rather than when it first aired and when I was a certain age? So in the words of Dr Franklin, I want to do it all again, send me back to the 90s and I'll experience the show exactly the same way I did the first time.
I'm quite lucky on this one. I was late to B5. I was watching it when Legend of the Rangers was announced and I created this site. So despite owning a B5 site, I don't know it that well.
Trek I can almost quote line for line when watching some episodes. But B5 I think I've seen twice... MAYBE three times. And that about 20 years ago.
I actually feel sick even writing 20 years, that's two decades of my life!
But when I get around to rewatching it I won't remember a lot. Just the broad brushstrokes.

AMEN! What I wouldn't give to go back. Not just to experience it all again, but to experience it all again from the beginning. As I've said in the past, I was late to B5 when it originally aired. I'm pretty sure I saw all or most of THE GATHERING. Then I know I saw a smattering of a few Season One Episodes, but as has been discussed it was very difficult to watch B5 back then because it was often not regulary scheduled. One week it might be at one time on one channel and then the next week a different channel and time. It was a challenge, but I tried and failed to watch it because I was a Claudia fan. When Bruce came onboard I really locked in a committed to finding scheduled times.
AND A HUGE REGRET was finding out about the Fan Club late. I really had no way of knowing. Most information I learn about B5 came from magazines and they were VERY few and far between for me to find in the Middle-West U.S. Center of nowhere. I mean we're talking Internet Infancy and I had no way of knowing JMS was out there.
AND A HUGE REGRET was being late to the memorablia and trading cards . . . You get my point.
So back to my original point, it would be a really hard thing for me to forget how things turn out. I watch at least one episode a week. I think Season 5 would be my best bet. Definitely the season I've repeat watched the least.

I think the longest time between rewatches for me was 10 years. I didn't forget a thing. I think all of that depends on how much you focus on each story. Some watch for just enjoying each episode for its own story. Some watch it for the arc that you grasp is happening when you see it for the first time.
I think it would take dementia for me to forget every single episode's intricate storyline.
